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.

The Perfect Balance of Power and Portability
The 11-inch iPad Air with the M3 chip is insanely fast, lightweight, and built for everyday use. Apps open instantly, the screen looks sharp and vibrant, and the battery easily lasts all day. It’s great for work, sketching, or just relaxing with a show. Unless you need the Pro’s 120Hz display, this is the sweet spot for power and value.
