Apple iPad (11th Generation)

2$349.00 at AmazonThe 11th-generation iPad is perfect for users with typical tablet needs. It's powered by the A16 chip, an upgrade from the A14 in the previous model, and starts at 128GB of storage, doubling the base capacity without extra cost. Available in silver, blue, yellow, and pink, this iPad maintains the same design but offers enhanced performance across the board. It's important to note, however, that it does not support Apple Intelligence. If that feature isn't crucial for you (as it isn't for me with my iPhone 16), this iPad will handle everyday tasks like gaming, browsing, video watching, social media scrolling, and email checking effortlessly for years to come.

0$269.00 at AppleThe new iPad Air, featuring the M3 chip, positions itself as a mid-tier option in Apple's tablet range, surpassing the baseline iPad in performance but not quite reaching the iPad Pro's capabilities. Available in 11-inch and 13-inch models, it's designed for users needing more processing power. With the M3 chip, it supports Apple Intelligence and pairs well with the new Magic Keyboard, which includes function keys and a trackpad, available at Apple.
