iPad Air M3 review: A modest update that's still easy to recommend


The iPad Air still hits the sweet spot in Apple’s tablet lineup, offering a lot of additional features over the basic iPad while keeping a relatively affordable price.

In real use, the iPad Air handled multitasking through my workday, playing games, transcoding video and trying out various Apple Intelligence features with absolutely no hiccups and slowdowns. Apple has been aggressive about putting extremely powerful chips in the iPad Air and Pro lineups for a few years now, and it’s nice that you basically never have to worry about slowdowns. It doesn’t have a few niceties you’ll find on the iPad Pro Magic Keyboard, though: The top case is smooth plastic rather than aluminum, the keys aren’t backlit and the trackpad has a physical click rather than haptic feedback.
