Apple iPad Air 13" (M3)
Most of the Pro experience for hundreds less — the tablet most people should buy
Key characteristics
Highlights
- ✓ M3 chip handles everything short of heavy pro editing
- ✓ Large 13-inch Liquid Retina display
- ✓ Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard support
- ✓ Choice of 11-inch or 13-inch sizes
Our take
The iPad Air with M3 is the sweet spot: it does 90% of what the Pro does for far less. The LCD isn't OLED and it lacks ProMotion, but for the vast majority it's all the tablet you need.
