Apple’s 11-inch M2 iPad Air has dropped to its lowest price yet. The tablet can be yours for $500, which is a $100 discount.
This is for the base model with 128GB of storage (double the storage from the previous model) and no cellular connectivity, although there is support for Wi-Fi 6E. You also get 8GB of RAM.
We gave the M2 iPad Air, which debuted less than a year ago, a 91 in our review. It is our choice The best iPad for most people. It’s about the perfect balance between performance, appearance and price – especially considering the deal. It offers better future-proofing compared to the entry-level iPad, as information and software only run on M-series chips and the new A-series.
For basic tasks like web browsing and video downloading, performance shouldn’t be an issue at all. M2 iPad Air supports it Apple Intelligence part, but also a difficult game like The Rising Death and Resident Evil 4 revise.
You should get about 10 hours of battery life on a single charge. There’s no Face ID yet, but the Touch ID fingerprint scanner is built into the power button. Another good thing is that Apple has moved the front camera to the long side of the tablet, making FaceTime calls in bright places a simple idea. The M2 iPad Air is compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, but not the second Pencil.
One of our biggest complaints about the M2 iPad Air is that it has an LCD display with a 60Hz refresh rate. It’s not as smooth or sharp as the 120Hz OLED you’ll find on the latest iPad Pro. However, it is a bright, sharp screen. However you slice it, the M2 iPad Air is a great tablet.
