This loaded M3 iPad Air is under $1,000 right now ($250 off)
Macworld
If you’re in the market for a new tablet, you can’t go wrong with the iPad Air. It’s got a 13-inch display, gorgeous design, excellent battery life, 5G, and a speed M3 processor—and today you can get one for $250 off at Amazon. That brings the price all the way down to $1,000, within a few dollars of its brief Black Friday blowout deal.
While we do appreciate all Apple tablets, we can’t help but absolutely love this one. When we reviewed it, we gave this iPad Air a 4-star rating and our Editors’ Choice award, appreciating its outstanding performance, the good display, and the great battery life.
Powered by the M3 chip, this tablet delivers great power for creative projects, all the apps you need to juggle, and the games you need to play. The 13-inch Liquid Retina display looks absolutely gorgeous in all lighting situations, so you shouldn’t be worried about whether you’ll see anything when you’re using it outdoors in the summer. The 512GB of storage space will definitely make it possible to store quite a few apps and pics, and you can add a Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro ($35 off) to fully deck it out.
There’s a new model on the way, but we don’t expect it to be much different other than a new chip. So don’t waste any time and get the 13-inch M3 iPad Air for $1,000 while this deal’s still live at Amazon.
