The iPad Air (5th Gen) is an incredible computer for the price, delivering a notepad-sized package with the power of a MacBook Pro. The Apple M1 chip is able to handle almost anything you can throw at it from iPadOS' great range of creative apps, the scre...

Silver is no longer an option, Only supports sub-6GHz 5G, No 128GB option and low base model storage capacity, More speed than iPadOS can take advantage of,
great design and build quality, fast M1 processor, good IPS display without PWM flickering, very good speakers
60 Hz display, no Wi-FI 6E
