EN→DEWhen I take my tired, cynical tech reviewer hat off and put myself in the shoes of an everyday person perusing online retailers and thinking about clicking “add to cart,”, I can say that the iPad Air M3 is unquestionably one of the best iPads out right now. It’s nice and light, works with most of the apps you probably care about and is absurdly fast — to the point where a good chunk of power users drawn to the iPad Pro can save a few hundred bucks and just get this one instead. If your budget isn’t particularly tight and you’re upgrading after many years (or getting your very first iPad), you’ll be very happy with your purchase. But for folks who already have an iPad they’re content with — or don’t need every bell and whistle — the M3 iPad Air can be a tough sell.

EN→DEAfter using the iPad Air with the M3 processor for work and entertainment, I can attest to the tablet's strong performance and capability to support a creator's workflow. The caveat is that you must be willing to compromise on the applications you use and likely set up your browser to pull up desktop versions of your most frequently visited websites. The iPad Air configuration I'm testing isn't cheap. The 13-inch model with 1TB of storage costs $1,299. Add a $269 Magic Keyboard and a $129 Apple Pencil Pro, and you're looking at a $1,697 tablet setup. That's why I mostly recommend the iPad Air if you don't need the highest storage configuration, considering the 11-inch model starts at a lesser $599 and the 13-inch model at $799 with 128GB.

EN→DEGiving the iPad Air the M3 chip and a new keyboard hasn’t fundamentally changed it. It remains an extremely competent tablet with a nice display, stellar performance, and good battery life. Judged on its own, it’s hard to fault. However, it’s hard to see why one would choose it over the basic iPad, iPad Pro, or even an iPad Mini.

EN→DEThis is a hard tablet to judge. As an actual release, it feels almost entirely pointless – the previous M2 iPad Air would still be good enough and would still be supported by the recent Apple Intelligence features. The jump from the M2 to M3 isn’t massive, although I would never sniff at improved performance. But, if you disregard this as a refresh and just look at it as the mid-range tablet in Apple’s iPad range, then it’s very good and easy to recommend. Especially as you’re now getting more power for the same price. For me, there’s enough here to warrant the jump over the standard iPad A16. The screen is better, it has the M-series chip for Apple Intelligence and Stage Manager and has the option of a larger screen.

EN→DEOverall, the iPad Air is convincing. The iPad Pro is even better, but far too expensive. The iPad A16, on the other hand, is significantly slower and has a poorer display. This feels like a sweet spot. For most users, in fact, the iPad Air is the ideal choice: fast, ergonomic, and equipped with a good display. Our only caveat is that there’s hardly any reason to buy this model rather than the cheaper previous model with an M2 chip, which is barely less powerful; what’s more, there are some excellent deals out there. The M2 Air is, therefore my personal recommendation. Whether you choose the 11- or 13-inch model is up to you.

EN→DEThe Apple iPad Air (M3) is a superb tablet and one you’re very unlikely to regret buying. There’s fantastic build quality, a lovely display, excellent performance and a solid battery life, while Apple’s iPadOS software continues to be the smoothest and slickest experience in the tablet market. There’s no denying it’s a big investment, but if it’s power and portability you want, the iPad Air (M3) won’t let you down.

EN→DEIf you already own the 2024 iPad Air with the M2 chip, then there's very little reason to upgrade. The new Air is slightly faster and has slightly better battery life...and that's pretty much it. However, if you're upgrading from an older Apple tablet, then the new iPad Air is still our "best buy" for most Apple shoppers. For me, the iPad is not, and will likely never be, my primary workhorse (I use my MacBook Pro for the vast majority of my daily work). For this reason, the iPad Pro, while nice, is overkill. The iPad, which still has a phone-grade, A16 chip, is underpowered, so the iPad Air is the best choice for most buyers. As for that Magic Keyboard...look, it's good, but it's too pricey to make sense. If you're shopping for an iPad Air, combining it with a more affordable, third-party option is probably the way to go.

EN→DEUltimately, it’s this comparison with the MacBook Air that casts the most unfavourable light on the iPad Air M3. It’s a brilliant tablet, no doubt. It’s cheaper than the iPad Pro M4, which is vastly overpriced in my view, and it’s almost as well equipped. If you want an Apple tablet/laptop hybrid and you don’t want to spend upwards of £1,349 on it, then this is the machine for you. Even then though, it’s expensive; so expensive, in fact, that the M4 MacBook Air can be had for less money if you look in the right places. And for that money you’re getting a more powerful, capable computer, with a longer lasting battery, better connectivity and more storage. You could argue that it’s a different product aimed at different people and, yes, to a certain extent that is true.

EN→DEThe Apple iPad Air with M3 is a worthy option for users seeking a balance between portability, performance, and functionality. With support for Apple Intelligence, swift processing power, and a well-optimised display, it is a solid choice for both productivity and general everyday use. However, the lack of Face ID, the less-than-ideal power button placement, and the need for additional accessories to maximise usability somewhat diminish its appeal. Despite these minor shortcomings, the iPad Air with M3 remains one of the best value-for-money tablets in Apple’s ecosystem.

EN→DEApple has done little more than update the processor for the 2025 iPad Air. The M3 gives the Air a bit more oomph when it comes to performance and managing features like Apple Intelligence, battery life, and imaging. Otherwise, the hardware and most functions largely carry over from the previous generation. Despite this low-key upgrade, the iPad Air remains the best choice for students and creators who need a powerful tablet at a decent price, which is enough to earn the iPad Air our Editors' Choice award. The iPad Pro is still our top pick for professionals, while the base iPad is easy to recommend to anyone who simply wants to browse the web, download apps, and stream videos.

EN→DEThe M3 iPad is a remarkable device. It’s a fantastic tablet. It’s because it’s so great and powerful as a casual tablet that we want to push it even further. Adding the Magic Keyboard is truly transformative. While I can’t do all my work on an iPad, I think a lot of people would be surprised how well it could serve them. So much work is done on the web, where all you need is a keyboard and precise pointing device. For a lot of people, not needing a proper computer is a relief and a weight off the shoulders — the iPad’s relative simplicity is the whole point.

EN→DEThe basic iPad does many things well and is nearly half the price of the iPad Air. If you only need an iPad to watch videos, browse the web, and stitch the occasional video together, it’s hard to justify the additional cost of the iPad Air. And at the iPad Air’s prices, it’s tempting to splash the cash and go all out for the iPad Pro. It’s a much nicer iPad with advanced features that make a difference. Plus, if you are going to be keeping it for the next couple of years, doesn’t it make sense to go for the best? The iPad mini is no slouch too. It’s extremely compact, supports the Apple Pencil Pro, and costs considerably less too.

EN→DEOn one side, the iPad Air has pretty much everything you'd want from a tablet. A powerful chip that has enough headroom to last you a good amount of years, good speakers, and a screen that looks good. But then, that same screen is locked at 60 Hz to nudge you towards the Pro, the chip is a bit battery-hungry, and if you want to add extra accessories like the Keyboard and Pencil — you go into laptop price territory (and a good laptop at that). OK, let's take the laptop off the table and assume you really, really want a tablet and exactly a tablet. Well, the iPad Air is better than the competition in its class.

EN→DEThe iPad Air M3 might not be a revolutionary tablet, but it’s still a fantastic device for most people. The M3-driven performance doesn’t disappoint, and it's a delight to watch videos or read books on its bright and colorful display. Toss in handy and fun Apple Intelligence features, reliable battery life and the overall thin and light design, and you have another winning Apple slate.My only real complaint isn’t with the iPad Air itself, but with its pricey peripherals. Sure, you don’t technically need the Magic Keyboard or Apple Pencil Pro. But they’re vital tools, especially if you’re an artist. If price isn’t a concern, however, then the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro are well worth the investment. Complaints aside, the iPad Air M3 is one of the best tablets you can buy and the one I’d now recommend to anyone interested in an Apple slate.

This is the new M3 iPad Air. It comes just nine months after the last model M2 iPad Air. Why the frequent releases? Well, it's because the iPad is the most popular tablet, and this model isn't necessarily aiming at people with the M2 iPad Air, but those with an older model. The new M3 does bring better support for Apple Intelligence, and a more powerful GPU for better gaming and video editing performance. The M3 iPad Air also has the updated new Magic Keyboard that is thinner and lighter than the previous generation.

Still, the device gets lots of compliments from reviewers. The consensus remains that the iPad Air continues to be a worthy option for those who want more than the budget iPad but aren’t willing to pay for all the additional features of an iPad Pro.

EN→DEOn the other hand, I’m iPad person and I use mine like a computer a lot. I love writing on it with the Magic Keyboard, and I have an optimized desk setup that allows me to integrate it into my workflow really easily. As a video editor, I still like working on a laptop with multiple displays, and more mature video editing apps, but really, that’s come down to preference. Fernando Silva, the video editor at 9to5Mac, edits all of his videos on an iPad Pro using Luma Fusion and honestly if Final Cut for iPad was a one time purchase I think I’d do a lot more editing on iPad as well. If you want an iPad to be your main computer, get the iPad Air, but make sure you commit to learning it. That’s the key you need to be aware of. It may do a lot of the same stuff as your Mac, but it will do it differently, and that will take time to figure out.

EN→DEIn addition to the more powerful processor, there are two reasons for going for the Air over and above the standard model. Firstly, you want a bigger display – like the Pro, this iPad is available in 11 and 13in sizes. Secondly, you want the support for the Apple Pencil Pro for design work. So the iPad Air is a great ‘cheaper Pro’ but you really need to be sure you need that extra extra screen real estate and power before you buy. If you’re thinking of buying the Magic Keyboard, then stop and think first – adding a keyboard to the cost means you’re very rapidly into MacBook Air-level pricing and I’d choose the laptop every time. And if the base level 11th generation model is enough for you, it certainly won’t let you down.

This new iPad will be available on March 12, starting at $349, though it is open for pre-order now. Unlike the iPad Air, the 11th-generation iPad won't support Apple Intelligence, as it boasts an A16 Bionic chip. Apple Intelligence is only available on A17 Bionic chip devices and M1 and newer devices.

Apple M3 9-Core GPU: Von Apple selbst designte Grafikkarte im Apple M3 SoC und laut Apple mit neun der zehn Kernen. Unterstützt Dynamic Caching, Mesh Shading und Ray Tracing.
Diese Klasse ist noch durchaus fähig neueste Spiele flüssig darzustellen, nur nicht mehr mit allen Details und in hohen Auflösungen. Besonders anspruchsvolle Spiele laufen nur in minimalen Detailstufen, wodurch die grafische Qualität oft deutlich leidet. Diese Klasse ist nur noch für Gelegenheitsspieler empfehlenswert. Der Stromverbrauch von modernen Grafikkarten in dieser Klasse ist dafür geringer und erlaubt auch bessere Akkulaufzeiten.
» Weitere Informationen gibt es in unserem Notebook-Grafikkartenvergleich und der Benchmarkliste.
M3: System on a Chip (SoC) von Apple mit 8 Prozessorkernen (4 Performance und 4 Stromsparkerne), einer bis zu 10-Kern GPU (je nach Modell) und einer 16-Kern Neural-Engine. Laut Apple um bis zu 20% schneller als die Apple M1 CPU.» Weitere Infos gibt es in unserem Prozessorvergleich Vergleich mobiler Prozessoren und der Prozessoren Benchmarkliste .
