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

Apple’s new tablet is exactly what you think it is. Which is fine.

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.
