This device is superior to us List of the best iPadsalthough that will change once new models are entering the slot. Whatever is on our list in the future, this is still one powerful and highly capable tablet with plenty of bells and whistles. We love the gorgeous screen, which is a serious step down from the 10th generation iPad. This also gets you a more powerful chip.
We also enjoyed the form factor. It’s called the iPad Air and it shows. It’s a lighter-than-average tablet that’s easy to hold and maneuver even for long periods of time. The M1 chip is powerful enough to handle any app or game you throw at it, and the 10.9-inch display is bright, sharp and accurate. It’s almost the Platonic ideal of a tablet. We even called it “the closest to universal appeal and the best iPad for most people.”
There’s no Face ID, which isn’t a big deal in my estimation, since tablets are harder than phones to hit that sweet spot for face scanning. The 64GB of available storage is also smaller, making this device more of a content consumption machine than anything else. The only major downside is that the new iPad Air is better in every way, even though it costs at least $200 more.
