Late to this but I was in a similar spot last year, needed something right away for school. I just went ahead and bought the iPad Air 11-inch (M2, 256GB) for around $699, and I’m glad I didn’t wait. There’s always a new version coming, but having it when you actually need it matters more. For your s

I'll be honest I haven't used a Mac for a full year. I was using an iPad Air M2 with a Magic Keyboard. I don't even remember the performance of the MacBook Air M1 to be real with you as that was a longtime ago. I'm just glad I have a Mac again and a full functioning laptop as the iPad was so limitin

i have a used iPad Air M2 11 inch. They M models are all pretty much the same. Definitely get an riggid hardcase to protect everything. Which Ipad size you should choose is absolutely up to you.

I actually owned a 13” iPad Air M2 with the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil, and it was my main device for a while. I loved it—don’t get me wrong—but I eventually traded it in for a MacBook Neo.

I use an iPad Air M2 with a Logitech Combi Touch case (includes keyboard and trackpad). Has been my main portable device (don’t ever carry a laptop) and it has been awesome for trips. I have the 256GB version with cellular and it’s way much more versatile than a regular laptop (for my needs). Can us

Next base ipad would easily beat m2 Air, worth holding out for , but for multi tasking there is no better mid priced device than M4 , save up the extra cash , best time to buy is around Black Friday till Christmas, good online savings to be made if you don’t mind waiting a couple of weeks on deliver
