This is an iPad for someone who appreciates Apple’s magnificent display, but at the same time wants a bigger engineer for top-level performance, and then all the ease and versatility of Magic Keyboard support, USB-C compatibility, and a fast fingerprint sensor. Speed, performance, looks, security — this iPad Air has it all.
This 64GB iPad Air is the newest version, and is absolutely gorgeous to look at. It’s got the edge-to-edge 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display — which became possible when the Home button was eliminated and the Touch ID sensor to the tablet’s top button. The engine inside the iPad Air is the A14 Bionic chip, which is super fast, and this was the first iPad to incorporate USB-C so that charging and file transfers are correspondingly quick. Attach a Magic Keyboard, and this is really everything you need in an office setup, wherever you are. Add an Apple Pencil to the equation and you have your creative center.
We love the new operating system, too, the iPadOS 14, which helps integrate elements like the Apple Pencil, allowing it to be a note-taking device that recognizes your handwriting. There’s now also Universal Search, which hypes up your ability to search anything on the iPad or online, as well as newly designed widgets and apps that look amazing. Finally, there’s an eco-benefit; the iPad Air has a 100% recycled aluminum enclosure, 100% recycled tin for the solder on its main logic board, and 100% recycled rare earth elements for its speakers. When we line it up vs. the iPad Pro 11, it has many of the same advantages, though less RAM, but for much less money.
