Apple 10.9-inch iPad Air Wi-Fi 256GB - Silver MYFW2X/A review

The new iPad Air might feel like a minor update from last year’s model, but it’s improved enough that its features and specs are now mostly on par with the pricier iPad Pro. It’s not just the best iPad for most people -- it’s arguably even Apple’s best tablet for the money.

Fast performance and WiFi speeds; Healthy battery life; Fun new color options; Supports Apple’s second-gen Apple Pencil; Very similar to the pricier iPad Pro

Still no Face ID; Only two speakers; The cost adds up with accessories meant to make it a laptop replacement

Apple 10.9-inch iPad Air Wi-Fi 256GB - Silver MYFW2X/A review

If you’re looking to get an iPad right now and can afford it, the new $599 iPad Air is the best tablet for most people. Apple has taken the design from the more expensive iPad Pro and brought it down to a more reasonable price point.

Excellent screen; Compatible with iPad Pro accessories; Very fast processor

Price increase; Only step-up storage option is a big jump; $749 for 256GB; Touch ID on the power button takes some getting used to
