Our take on the iPad Air 11-inches (2024) 6th gen 256 GB - Wi-Fi - Purple
The 2024 iPad Air 11-inch is Apple's mid-tier tablet, now powered by the M2 chip that previously ran the iPad Pro. It has an 11-inch Liquid Retina display, 256GB of storage, Wi-Fi 6E, and support for the Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard. It suits students, note-takers and creative hobbyists who want near-Pro performance without Pro weight or complexity. Against the iPad Pro it gives up the OLED screen, ProMotion and Face ID; against the base iPad it adds a laminated, fully bonded display, a faster chip and Pencil Pro support. Reviewers consistently call it the best tablet for most people.

- Laminated 11-inch Liquid Retina display with wide color

Questions and answers
- Is the iPad Air 2024 worth it over the base iPad?
- Yes, if you want a laminated screen, the M2 chip and Apple Pencil Pro support. The base iPad is cheaper and fine for simple browsing and streaming.

- The Air gives up the OLED screen, ProMotion and Face ID but keeps most of the speed in a lighter body. The Pro is for people who need the best display and fastest chip.

- Yes. It supports the Apple Pencil Pro, including squeeze and barrel roll, and also works with the USB-C Apple Pencil. The Pencil is sold separately.

- What is in the box?
- The iPad, a USB-C charging cable and a power adapter. The Pencil and keyboard are not included.
- Is the 11-inch screen good for drawing?
- Yes. The laminated display, wide color and Pencil Pro support make it capable for sketching and note-taking, though the 60Hz refresh rate is less smooth than the Pro.
