      iPad Air m3 11”

      The new iPad Air works great for on the go, light weight, mini workstation. If you are in school/work, it is a great alternative to a laptop with the powerful m3 chip. It has a nice screen and speakers for movies and great for games. Runs smooth with the all day battery. I have it paired to the apple Magic Keyboard and it is awesome. I have started using this more than my MacBook. Highly recommend getting one for yourself especially with the Best Buy deals every now and then.

      iPad

      Was going to get the 13 inch which was way more expensive. Decided to go with this option and i absolutely love it. Love the color, battery life is very good, and screen is great. I play lots of mobile games so it runs smooth looks great on the screen. Would definitely choose this option if you don’t want to spend more than 1,000 because this is still a great option and way cheaper than all the other options.
