- The iPad Air is the perfect compromise for those who are looking for a powerful iPad that doesn’t break the bank.
- The tablet supports the Apple Pencil, has a powerful processor, and a crisp 10.5-inch screen.
- For a limited time, the iPad Air is on sale for $40 off at Amazon.
It can be hard to choose the right iPad for your needs: The iPad Pro is an expensive, high-powered tablet, and the entry-level iPad doesn’t necessarily offer the power that you might need, but thankfully, there’s a solid compromise in between those two models – the iPad Air.
Right now, the tablet is an even better deal, because it’s on sale for $40 off its normal price at Amazon.
The iPad Air was launched earlier in 2019, and it’s got a lot going for it. While it doesn’t look quite as modern as the iPad Pro, it still has a big 10.5-inch screen and comes in a range of colors, including Space Gray, Silver, and Gold.
Perhaps even more important than how the iPad Air looks is how it performs. The Air is powered by an A12 Bionic processor, which is more powerful than the processor you'll find inside the entry-level iPad, so you can easily use the tablet for playing games and even some basic graphic design. The iPad Air comes with either 64GB or 256GB of storage, which should be plenty for most, and is rated for a battery life of up to 10 hours.
The iPad Air offers other smart features too. For example, it's fully compatible with the Apple Pencil, and Apple also sells a keyboard cover for it, so you could almost use it as a laptop replacement if you so choose. And, thanks to the new iPadOS operating system, which offers a ton of great productivity features, using the iPad Air as a laptop is easier than ever.
