Our take on the Apple iPad Air 11" 128GB Wi-Fi Tablet (M3 chip)
The iPad Air 11-inch with the M3 chip is Apple's mid-tier tablet, sitting between the base iPad and the iPad Pro. It has an 11-inch Liquid Retina display, 128GB of storage, Wi-Fi, and support for the Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard. The M3 handles editing, drawing and multitasking well, and reviewers say it is fast and light. It lacks the Pro's OLED screen and 120Hz refresh rate, so buyers who want the best display still look at the Pro.
- M3 chip is fast for editing, drawing and multitasking
- Light and easy to hold for long sessions
- Works with Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard
- Good battery life for a full day of mixed use
- Balanced middle option in Apple's tablet lineup

Questions and answers
- Is the M3 iPad Air worth it over the base iPad?
- Yes if you want more speed, a larger screen and Apple Pencil Pro support. The base iPad handles browsing, video and light notes for less.
- How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
- The Air has the same M3-class speed but an LCD screen without 120Hz. The Pro adds an OLED display and a thinner body.
- Does it work with the Apple Pencil Pro?
- Yes. It supports the Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard, both sold separately.
- Is 128GB enough?
- For browsing, streaming and notes, yes. If you shoot lots of video or keep large games installed, a higher capacity is safer.
- What is in the box?
- The tablet and a USB-C charging cable. The charger and accessories are sold separately.
- How long does the battery last?
- Apple rates it for about a full day of mixed use, and owners report similar results.
