Our take on the Apple iPad Air 11" 128GB Wi-Fi Tablet with 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 6E and a USB-C port, and it works with 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 people who want the best display still look at the Pro.
- M3 chip handles heavy apps and multitasking smoothly
- Light and easy to hold for long sessions
- Works with Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard
- USB-C port for drives and accessories
- Long software support and strong resale value

What reviewers say

Questions and answers
- Is the M3 iPad Air worth it over the base iPad?
- Yes, if you want a faster chip, a laminated 11-inch screen and support for the Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard. The base iPad is enough for simple browsing and video.
- How does it compare with the iPad Pro?
- The Air uses an LCD screen at 60Hz and lacks Face ID. The Pro adds an OLED screen, a faster refresh rate and a thinner body, but the Air's M3 is already fast for most work.
- Does the Apple Pencil Pro work with it?
- Yes. It supports the Apple Pencil Pro and the USB-C Apple Pencil, and the Pencil attaches magnetically to charge.
- What is in the box?
- The tablet and a USB-C charging cable. The power adapter, keyboard and pencil are sold separately.
- Is 128GB enough?
- For apps, notes, streaming and cloud photos, yes. If you shoot lots of video or keep large game libraries, a higher capacity is safer.
- Does it have cellular?
- This version is Wi-Fi only. Cellular models are sold separately if you need data away from Wi-Fi.
