Our take on the Apple 11-Inch iPad Air M2 Chip Tablet

The 2024 iPad Air moves to Apple's M2 chip, the same silicon used in the previous iPad Pro, so it handles multitasking, drawing apps and video editing well. The 11-inch Liquid Retina display is bright and color-accurate, and the tablet now comes in two sizes with the front camera moved to the landscape edge for video calls. It sits below the OLED iPad Pro on display quality and above the base iPad on performance and accessory support. Reviewers call it the sensible middle choice for most people, though the 60Hz refresh rate and 128GB base storage draw complaints.

Questions and answers

Is the M2 iPad Air worth it over the base iPad?
Yes if you want a bigger, brighter screen, Apple Pencil Pro support and more headroom for demanding apps. The base iPad covers browsing and streaming for less.
How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
The Pro adds an OLED display, ProMotion and a faster chip. The Air keeps most of the speed and portability for buyers who don't need the best screen.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard?
Yes. It supports Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard made for the 11-inch iPad Air, both sold separately.
How much storage should I get?
128GB suits streaming and light notes. Choose 256GB or more if you store photos, games or video projects on the device.
Is the 11-inch screen big enough for note-taking?
Yes for split-screen notes and reading. If you sketch or run two apps side by side often, the larger 13-inch model gives more room.
What's in the box?
The iPad, a USB-C charging cable and a power adapter. The Apple Pencil and keyboard are not included.
Where is the Apple 11-Inch iPad Air M2 Chip Tablet cheapest?
At Staples, for $627.99, as of our latest check.
