Is the M4 iPad Air worth it over the base iPad?

Yes if you want a laminated screen, a much faster chip and Pencil Pro support. The base iPad is enough for browsing and video.

It is fine for notes, streaming and light editing. Heavy video work or large game libraries will need more.

Yes. It supports Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C) and the Magic Keyboard, all sold separately.

The iPad, a USB-C charge cable and documentation. The charger and accessories are not included.

Our take on the 11'' iPad Air M4 8-Core Chip 128GB With Wi-Fi

The 11-inch iPad Air with the M4 chip is Apple's mid-range tablet, sitting between the base iPad and the iPad Pro. It brings 12GB of RAM, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and support for Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard, so it handles editing, gaming and Apple Intelligence tasks well. It suits students, creatives and anyone who wants near-Pro performance without the Pro's price or its OLED screen. Against the iPad Pro it gives up the tandem OLED display, ProMotion and Face ID; against the base iPad it adds a laminated display, a much faster chip and better accessories.
