As I mentioned in my review of the iPad Air M3, while the device isn’t groundbreaking, it introduces new features that make it superior to the iPad Air M2. The most significant upgrade is the Apple M3 chip, boosting the performance by 10% over the earlier model. This enhancement brings it closer to the capabilities found in the more robust iPad Pro M4, thanks to its processor.

The 11-inch iPad Air M3 retains the 2360 x 1640 Liquid Retina display seen in earlier models. Although it lacks an OLED screen like the latest iPad Pro, its display still offers excellent brightness and color. I particularly enjoy how vibrant comic book graphics appear on this screen, and how the high resolution makes reading text a breeze.

The aluminum construction of the iPad Air remains as appealing as ever, and its slim profile makes it comfortable to hold for extended periods. Measuring 9.74 x 7.02 x 0.24 inches and weighing just 1.05 pounds, this tablet truly lives up to its “Air” name. It’s so slender and light that it can easily be stowed in your backpack, almost making you forget its presence. Additionally, its design allows you to comfortably enjoy reading digital books or comics for hours on end.

Currently priced at $499, this is the lowest price we’ve witnessed for the entry-level 11-inch iPad Air. If you’re seeking the best all-around iPad, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
