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.

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!

Great product, as usual for Apple. Only problem so far is that the battery is draining too quickly, so if you use it every day as I do, it won’t have a very long life. This battery seems to drain quicker than my other iPads, don’t know why. May or may not be worth it for you.

After using the 11-inch iPad Air (M2/M3) as my primary device for both work and daily entertainment, I am thoroughly impressed. It strikes the perfect balance between high-end performance and, for lack of a better word, "airiness"—it's light enough to carry anywhere but powerful enough to handle anything I throw at it. What I Love: Blazing Performance: Whether I am editing 4K videos, managing complex projects, or having multiple apps open in Stage Manager, the M-series chip never stutters. It feels just as fast as the Pro models for 99% of tasks. Stunning Display: The 11-inch Liquid Retina display is bright, sharp, and vibrant, making it an excellent canvas for both creative work and watching movies. Perfect Size: The 11-inch form factor is ideal for portability. It's comfortable to hold on the couch for reading, fits easily into a bag, and is a great companion for travel. Landscape Camera: Moving the 12MP camera to the landscape edge makes video calls feel much more natural and professional, especially when docked in a keyboard. Accessory Ecosystem: It works seamlessly with the Apple Pencil Pro (the squeeze gestures are a game-changer) and the Magic Keyboard, turning this tablet into a legitimate mini-laptop replacement. Final Thoughts If you are looking for a premium tablet experience without paying the top-tier Pro price, the 11-inch iPad Air is the best choice on the market. It’s fast, reliable, and versatile, making it an incredible investment for students, artists, and professionals alike. Rating: 9.5/10

I bought this to use as a POS and all in one system for a small business. I so far love it! I’m usually more of an android person and find apple hard to navigate but this IPAD has been so easy to use and so far holds everything I need for my small business. I am glad I spent the extra money on this model vs the cheaper one I was looking at. Everything on the IPAD is smooth and seamless. The battery life is fantastic.
