    So much better in comparison to the 6th Gen. that I had. Very fast and easy to set up. Works great with apps for work. Battery life is also way better.

    This ipad is a great vaue, it supplies enough computing power with the M3 chip without breaking the bank. I like the 11 inch size because its screen is big enough for personal use and its easy to tote around. The 256gb is enough memory for everything that I need to keep local. Bottom line is this model has it all at a decent price.

    I absolutely love it! It’s beautiful, love the color (Starlight) champagne color, and love the fact that all my Apple devices connect with only one login!! I purchased this for reading my pdf books and assignments for school while laying down. It’s a great size, right in between my iPhone 16pro max and my MacBook Air 13”! It’s not heavy to hold and doesn’t bother me despite a herniated disc in my neck and carpal tunnel in both my hands! Also it’s technically an optional storage to my iPhone and MacBook!

    Pros: • M3 Chip Performance: Incredible speed; handles multitasking and gaming effortlessly. • New Base Storage: Finally starts at 128GB instead of 64GB. • 13-inch Option: Great to have the larger screen size without paying Pro prices. • Landscape Front Camera: Much better for Zoom and FaceTime calls. • Apple Pencil Pro Support: The new squeeze and haptic features are genuinely useful for artists. Cons: • 60Hz Display: Still lacks “ProMotion” (120Hz) refresh rate, which is noticeable if you’re coming from a Pro model. • Touch ID: Face ID is still reserved for the Pro line; the fingerprint sensor is fast but less convenient. Verdict: If you want a powerful tablet that will last for years but can’t justify spending $1,000+, this is the one to buy.

    Okay so I just got the new 11-inch iPad Air with the M3 chip, and honestly—it’s awesome. It’s super fast, like I can have notes, Safari, and Spotify all running without it lagging. The Apple Intelligence stuff is lowkey fun too, like making custom emojis or organizing my stuff quicker. It’s really light, fits in my bag no problem, and the battery lasts me the whole day without stressing. The screen looks amazing for Netflix or YouTube, and it’s perfect for reading or sketching too. Only thing is no Face ID, but Touch ID works fine. Definitely worth it for school.

    Just the Right Size and Speed (for most uses)

    If you’re using the iPad for everyday internet activities (email, browsing, games, etc.), this iPad is perfect. While it doesn’t have all the power of the more expensive models, you’ll still be able to use Photoshop and SketchUp and more advanced apps, but might be limited in speed or larger file storage. The smaller screen size is ideal for travel, yet large enough for watching movies and videos. The M3 chip isn’t screaming fast compared to the more powerful chips, but you probably won’t notice unless you are working with huge files or really pushing it to do video editing. It’s a great replacement for older iPads.

    I would say this is a good investment for school or just overall uses especially for note taking which is what i use it for. The battery last all day and especially having it for just about a year I would still buy it. The screen is a good size with the display and speaker being good as well.
