The M1 iPad Air is currently my favorite iPad on the market (yes, even though Apple has announced the M2 iPad Air). It has now become even more tempting thanks to this record-breaking discount at Best Buy.
You can even get the 256GB version for a lower price than what I paid. It’s $250 off, so you can get the M1 iPad Air with 256GB of storage for $499.
The line of work I am in makes me juggle between dozens of tabs, process bulk data, and even edit photos and videos occasionally. However, the iPad has been able to smoothly handle all these tasks.

I have also loaded my iPad with Genshin Impact, one of the most demandingmobile games. It runs smoothly at 60FPS, even with the graphics fully cranked up. It can maintain smooth gameplay after extended play time — something even theOnePlus 12, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, can’t do.
You may want to get the iPad with 256GB of RAM if you want longevity. However, 64GB RAM should also be enough for those who are not power users.
The iPad Air’s lightweight and thin build makes it easy to carry, whether you like to watch movies while traveling or work while sipping coffee in a cafe near you. The battery life on the device is pretty decent but you’d want to keep the charger close.
