The recently-released Apple iPad Air M3 is already on sale via Amazon. You
can pick up the 11-inch model starting at $499 and the 13-inch version
starting at $699. If Amazon isnΓÇÖt your bag, these deals are also available
at Best Buy.

This model topped our list of the best iPads, and we said it the perfect
choice for most consumers. The M3 chip is extremely powerful, which increases
performance and multitasking when compared to the base iPad. It offers
support for the Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard, which is nice, and the
overall design is lovely.

The battery can last up to 12 hours, which is a decent metric for a modern
tablet. The two 12MP cameras wonΓÇÖt be winning any awards, but they get the
job done. These are also fairly lightweight, which makes sense given the
name. The 11-inch version weighs around a pound and the 13-inch model shoots
up to 1.36 pounds. ThatΓÇÖs light enough for long-term use without any real
issues.

While the screen is gorgeous, itΓÇÖs not an OLED. It also maxes out with a
60Hz refresh rate, which is on the lower end. ItΓÇÖs worth noting that the
$499 base price for the 11-inch model gets you 128GB of storage and 8GB of
RAM. Other variations are on sale, but the cost can add up. For instance, the
13-inch version with a 1TB drive will set you back $1,200.
