iPad Air 11-inch with M3 chip Built for Apple Intelligence, Liquid Retina Display, 128GB, 12MP Front/Back Camera, Wi-Fi 6E, Touch ID, All-Day Battery Life — Space Gray

Why did I choose the iPad Air? - Better build quality compared to the standard iPad. - The screen feels closer to glass and offers a better writing experience than the standard iPad. - It supports the Apple Pencil Pro, which is not available on the standard iPad, and can be charged magnetically from the edge of the tablet. - The M3 processor offers longer-term, up-to-date performance. Support for devices without an M processor may be discontinued sooner. - It was offered at a great price during Black Friday. - It's much cheaper than the iPad Pro but has similar power. - Its downside compared to the iPad Pro is that it has a 60Hz screen (which I think is more than sufficient for standard use). - The battery life is good for its usage level; the Pro is obviously better.

This iPad Air is fast, smooth, and very easy to use. The display looks amazing, and the performance is excellent for taking notes and handling university homework. The gray color looks sleek, and 128GB is enough for daily use. Overall, it’s a great device and definitely worth it.

I was unsure about the air until I tried it out! But in true Apple fashion it is a very nice 11” iPad. Colors are nice. The magic iPad that fits this does NOT light up. I recommend this iPad!!

Love my iPad and I use these daily for years on end and never once had an issue! The screen is crystal clear and it’s always easy to use.

Easy set-up with an iPhone, and the speed of the system is also fast. I wanted an iPad to view during minimalist, packing travel; my laptop Mac and screen are too big, and my iPhone screen is too small, so this is the happy medium. I gave my other iPad away years ago to my son, so of course the ear set I still have does not fit this one (I like archaic, but functional, plug-in-cord buds), and the set for my iPhone does not fit either; they just cannot be universal, which is typical for mercenary Apple (but, their excellent digital products are justifiably addictive).

The ram and storage makes for digital drawing, and I draw a lot, good for notes and apps I’ll need for classes. The quality is good, charges fast, and I love all the features I couldn’t get on my old iPad.

This Ipad Air with the M3 chip is a major upgrade from my older (3 years) Ipad. It is lightning fast and I am happy it has a USB-C connection. No more lightning connector for the Ipad and my Iphone. It has been trouble free. As information, you will probably need to upgrade to IOS26 with this Ipad Air. All the new Apple devices are going that way. I was waiting to upgrade to IOS26 but I'm glad I did. It is really nice and I've found no issues with it. I believe they got most of the initial kinks out. I love this new Ipad Air!

The iPad Air 11-inch with the M3 chip delivers outstanding performance in a sleek, lightweight design. Apps launch instantly, multitasking is smooth, and demanding tasks like photo editing and gaming run effortlessly. The display is bright, sharp, and responsive, making it excellent for both work and entertainment. Battery life easily lasts through a full day of use, and the overall build quality feels premium. A powerful, versatile tablet that offers excellent value and performance.
