The review highlights the M3 iPad Air as a notable upgrade from its predecessor, the M2, offering improvements particularly in CPU performance by approximately 17%. Despite the lack of new features compared to upcoming models, the enhanced speed and efficiency, especially for multitasking and app performance, position the iPad Air as a competitive alternative to traditional laptops. The author notes the effectiveness of the iPad Air in work settings, including its compatibility with the Magic Keyboard, making it a suitable choice for users seeking a portable solution.
Admittedly, there are no significant differences between the 2024 iPad Air and the 2025 model, as was made evident in my testing.
