The Apple iPad Air M3 was just released a few months ago, but it’s already part of Amazon’s tablet deals for Prime Day. The 11-inch model with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage is on sale for its lowest price so far of $479, following a 20% discount on the device’s original price of $599. Once the shopping event is over, we’re not sure how long you’ll have to wait until we find a similar offer for this iPad, so push forward with your purchase now while the savings of $120 are still online.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad Air M3

The Apple iPad Air M3 was just launched in March, but it already headlines our list of the best tablets after getting a solid score of 4 stars out of 5 stars in our review. We described it as a device that gives you iPad Pro-level performance at a more affordable price. This is made possible by Apple’s M3 chip, which also enables all of the helpful features of Apple Intelligence. The tablet also ships with iPadOS 18, which is the latest version of Apple’s operating system for its tablets.

Using the Apple iPad Air M3 is a feast on the eyes with its 11-inch Liquid Retina touchscreen that offers 2,360 x 1,640 resolution. The tablet is compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil USB-C as an additional input option, and the Apple Magic Keyboard to transform it into a laptop alternative. The device also features the Touch ID fingerprint recognition system for protection against unauthorized usage.

For those who have been waiting for a discount before they buy the Apple iPad Air M3, this is your chance. The 11-inch model with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage is down to $479 for Prime Day, for $120 in savings on the tablet’s sticker price of $599. Apple deals always attract a lot of attention though, so the stocks that are up for sale may already be running low. If you want to get this configuration of the Apple iPad Air M3 for its lowest price so far, we highly recommend adding it to your cart and finishing the checkout process immediately.

Asus Pad comes out as a brazen iPad wannabe, but looks like a solid OLED Android slate
Asus looked at the iPad and said “Yeah, we’ll have one too”
Asus Pad

ASUS has officially unveiled the new Asus Pad, and honestly, the inspiration is impossible to ignore. From the flat metal chassis and symmetrical bezels to the magnetic keyboard accessories and stylus support, the tablet looks heavily influenced by Apple’s iPad lineup. But underneath the familiar design language sits what could actually be one of the more compelling Android tablets launched this year.

The Asus Pad arrives at a time when Android tablet makers are aggressively trying to close the gap with Apple in premium productivity-focused hardware. While many Android tablets still struggle with app optimization and ecosystem polish, companies increasingly realize that buyers care just as much about display quality, battery life, and hardware design as they do about software exclusives.

Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro review: I swapped my trusty iPad for this and didn’t miss it at all
A rare Android tablet that will make you stick around with it for the long game.
Person using the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro Android tablet.

For years, I've kept a default disclaimer ready whenever I am asked to recommend Android tablets. "It's good/meh, for an Android tablet." That little clarity did a lot of heavy lifting. It excused the issues with laggy apps stretched haphazardly across an oversized screen, the ho-hum firepower, and software that always felt like a phone wearing a costume two sizes too big. So when the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro landed on my desk, I had my disclaimer loaded and ready to unload indiscriminately.

I'll save you the suspense and tell you it never came out. This slate is a genuine powerhouse, the kind of tablet that goes after the iPad Air and the Galaxy Tab S-series without flinching, and then upturns the value debate with its attractive asking price. It runs Qualcomm's top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite, which means it can chew through all kinds of mobile tasks with ease.
