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.

Super Fast, Ultra Light & Totally Worth It!
I recently picked up the new iPad Air M3 from Best Buy, and I’ve been loving it so far. It’s fast, lightweight, and honestly fits perfectly into my daily routine. One of my favorite things about it is how I can use it as a secondary screen with my MacBook. It’s super handy when I’m multitasking — like having notes open on the iPad while working on something else on my Mac. That feature alone has boosted my productivity big time. The performance is top-notch thanks to the M3 chip. Everything feels smooth — whether I’m watching Netflix, checking my stocks, or using it for light work and creative stuff. The display is beautiful too — bright, sharp, and great for watching content or sketching with the Apple Pencil. Plus, it’s so light and slim that I can take it anywhere. Battery life easily lasts me a full day. Also, props to Best Buy — the whole purchase experience was smooth and quick. If you’re thinking about getting an iPad, I highly recommend the iPad Air M3. It’s seriously one of my favorite devices right now.

From Android to Apple.
Just switch from Android to Apple and I couldn't be happier. The Air 11" M3 runs great! Gives me all the time I need to work, play, and watch anything I need too during the day, with about 8-10 hours of non stop, multi app use. For the price point, it was better to get the M3 series than the A series. Seemless app switching and when attatched to a keyboard it turns into a mini computer. I can access all my (windows) PC via icloud app, so cross compatibly is no longer an issue. The screen is crisp and clear and looks amazing. Apple has definitely stepped up their game from it's earlier days and is a lot more user friendly than before. It feels like an adroid, aside from customizability where you have to install 3rd party apps but it's still possible. All in all I am happy with the switch
