While the basic Apple iPad is great for casual use, the Apple iPad Air is for when you need a little more power. It is fast, elegant and powerful. What else could you want?
And now is the time to act, because Amazon sells it for $ 559 – you’ll save $ 40. The Apple iPad Air is so popular that it received a perfect five-star rating from almost 2,500 critics.
And if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not a member yet? No problems. You can sign up for a free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still receive free shipping on orders of $ 25 or more.)
Pure power
The Apple iPad Air Wi-Fi only model (Space Gray) is slightly larger than the previous model, with a 10.9-inch Retina display compared to 10.2. It’s also faster, thanks to Apple’s integrated A14 Bionic chip (the older model uses the A12 processor). In addition, it has 64 GB of on-board storage instead of 32 GB. In almost every way, the Apple iPad Air is bigger, faster, sharper and more elegant than the base model.
“The easiest and most powerful iPad that Apple offers alongside the Pro,” praised a five-star reviewer.
Thin, light, elegant
There is a reason why it is called the iPad Air: it weighs only half a kilo.
It is also compatible with stylus like Apple Pencil and keyboard covers like Apple Magic Keyboard (both sold separately). The tablet comes in space gray, sky blue, rose gold and green – and all colors are for sale.
“… It’s a little faster, a little thinner, a little lighter and a little brighter than all the tablets I’ve used before,” shared a satisfied Amazon customer. “But seen as a whole – and along with the second-generation Apple pencil – it looks like an entirely new experience. I haven’t seen this new device in a while … this is a great device, it fits in my workflow immediately. I think the biggest compliment I can give is that it is incredible how quickly it actually disappeared: a few days after using it, I stopped noticing, because everything about writing and taking notes with the iPad and the pencil seemed second nature; it seemed like it was always there. “
The Apple iPad Air has the power of the iPad Pro with the lightweight and compact design of the standard iPad. If you want more speed and power than the basic version offers, but are not ready to go to the Pro, this is the iPad.
Perhaps this five-star reviewer said it best: “My new favorite toy. This is a professional-grade tablet. It is powerful, productive and fun … ”
