The new iPad Air features the M3 chip, offers two screen sizes, and supports all the Apple Intelligence features. The 2024 iPad Pro, on the other hand, stands its ground as the most powerful tablet ever made.

The iPad Air 11 with M3 is fine for certain tasks, but it can’t be your cheaper MacBook with a touchscreen. It’s better than last year’s model, but good enough may not be enough to justify the upgrade for lingering M1 iPad Air users.

This category is really straightforward. The iPad Air M3 is significantly cheaper than the iPad Pro M4.
