Apple iPad Air M3 Hands-On
Laptops feel like they’re carrying the weight of an entire office, but Apple’s iPad Air with M3 CPU wants to change that. This 11-inch tablet, priced at $449 (was $599), for the 128GB model, can handle spreadsheets, video edits and endless email chains.



The M3 chip, which powers the latest MacBooks, makes processes that would stall previous tablets zip along. Lightroom photo editing is seamless, layers stack up and exports take minutes not hours. It weighs over a pound and is less than a quarter inch thick so it fits in a backpack pocket or under your arm when on the go. The 11-inch Liquid Retina screen with 2360-by-1640 resolution shows code syntax to Netflix shows in stunning detail.

Accessories enhance without overwhelming. Snap on an Apple Pencil Pro for handwritten notes that convert to text on the fly or use the built-in 12MP front facing camera for video calls, with Center Stage keeping you framed as you move around the room. The back camera scans documents cleanly, converts paper stacks to searchable PDFs in seconds.
