The new 11th-generation iPad is perfect for everyday tablet users. It boasts a speedy A16 chip, a significant upgrade from the A14 in the previous model. Storage has also doubled to a starting 128GB at no extra cost. Aesthetically, it remains largely unchanged, offering the same color options: silver, blue, yellow, and pink. While internal improvements are substantial, it's important to note the absence of Apple Intelligence.

If you can forgo Apple Intelligence (and many iPhone 16 users can attest to its non-essential nature), the 11th-gen iPad delivers ample power and performance for everyday tasks such as gaming, web browsing, video streaming, social media, email, and more. It's built to handle these activities effortlessly for years to come.

The new iPad Air occupies the mid-range of Apple's tablet lineup, offering superior specifications to the base iPad but falling short of the iPad Pro's power. However, if you need more computing muscle than the entry-level model provides, the M3-powered iPad Air is an excellent choice. It's available in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes.

As the name suggests, it features Apple's powerful M3 chip and includes Apple Intelligence, a feature absent in the base model. It's also compatible with a new Magic Keyboard (available at Apple) featuring a function key row and trackpad.
