Apple’s M2 iPad Air is comfortably the best in the tablet series. It’s incredibly fast thanks to the M2 chip, has plenty of storage for an iPad, and has a lovely 11-inch screen. Perhaps most importantly, it’s also currently on sale for just $469 at Best Buy, which is $130 off and the lowest price we’ve seen on this model. Not only that, but it also comes with three months of Apple TV+, Apple Fitness+ and Apple Music, and four months of Apple Arcade.
In general, there are big discounts across the iPad Air 11-inch lineup on Amazon too, amounting to an average of $100 in discounts for every color and storage size. For reference, the storage sizes are 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB while the colors available are starlight, space gray, purple and blue.
In his review, CNET’s Scott Stein found that the new model added “a bit more bang for your extra buck.” “The base model has double the storage at 128GB; a more capable processor; and it works with Apple’s new Pencil Pro, an improved stylus with extra features of its own that will appeal to artists and creatives,” he added.
