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.
