For a limited time, Amazon is offering the 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3 tablets at the lowest prices I've seen so far. The 11" model is down to $499 and the 13" model is down to $699, both after a $100 off instant discount. That's the best price we've seen for this 2025 model with the M3 chip, making it a fantastic gift idea for Mother's Day, which falls on May 11.

The 7th generation iPad Air was released in March and represents the latest model. It's only one year newer than the 6th generation, with the main upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip offers a performance boost of about 20% over its predecessor and is only about 20% slower than the iPad Pro's M4 chip. The iPad Air retains the stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G cellular connectivity. It's compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, transforming it into a versatile iOS hybrid laptop. Additionally, the iPad Air supports Apple Intelligence.
Apple iPad Air (2024) Review (older model) by Jacqueline Thomas
"The iPad for the rest of us. For most people who need their tablet for gaming or watching movies, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. While it might not be as premium as the iPad Pro, its beautiful display and still-powerful M2 processor make it a compelling choice."
