Apple iPad Air 11" M3 Blue 2025

82.5 Art & Design Score
11"Apple M3 8GB RAM1TBStylus
Why we recommend this ▼

The M3 chip’s 9-core GPU brings hardware-accelerated ray tracing and mesh shading to the 11-inch 2360x1640 Liquid Retina display, housed in a 460g body with all-day battery life. Full Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard support, paired with 1TB storage and 5G, make it a nimble mobile workspace for note-taking and sketching. Best for business travelers and students needing a lightweight tablet, though its 74.7 productivity score means it strains under heavy multitasking.
