Apple Ipad Air M1 Featured

Apple made a splash last week when it introduced the new iPad Pro with M4 and iPad Air with M2. But if you don’t need quite that much power, spend much less on an iPad Air with M1 at 33 percent off.

The M1 chip in the iPad Air still lets you multitask between apps and play games loaded with graphics. It will last all day, so you can take it with you as you work and play from sun up to sun down. Gen 64GB of storage for your apps, music, etc., but if you want more, you can bump it up to 256GB and pay a little more.

The 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display matches up perfectly with the M1 chip performance, while you game, edit photos and videos, or create beautiful graphics. Connect via Wi-Fi 6 to upload and download, as well as stream your favorite TV shows and movies. Touch ID is built in to the device, allowing you to unlock it, as well as sign in to apps.

The iPad Air is loaded with iPadOS and all the apps that come with it to help you be more productive. These include Safari, Messages, Keynote, Freeform, etc.

Opt to add an Apple Pencil, then take advantage of the Scribble feature. You can also add a Magic Keyboard to make your iPad Air seem more like a laptop, while also protecting the device.

Save $200 and pay just $399 for a 64GB iPad Air with M1 and Wi-Fi in your choice of colors. Or, consider paying more of a premium price to get Wi-Fi + Cellular and/or 256B.
