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.

Stop losing your notes and start the school year with one of these e-readers that double as notebooks
Three e-readers with pen support worth adding to your back to school shopping list.

Your backpack is heavier than it needs to be. Multiple notebooks for all your classes, a stack of printed PDFs, and nothing that talks to anything else. The notes from week two are in a different notebook than the notes from week six, and you'd be lucky to find either one in December.

One device that you can use to read books and PDFs, take notes, and keep everything organized would fix this, and that's exactly what e-readers with pen input support are built to do. And you don't need to spend what you'd drop on textbooks for a semester to get one either. I've rounded up six worth buying this back-to-school season, and I'll tell you exactly who each one is for.

Xteink’s tiny e-reader finally gets the upgrades it was missing
Xteink’s X4 Pro fixes the biggest complaints we had about the original
Adapter, Electronics, Phone

Xteink has launched the X4 Pro, a new version of its pocket-sized e-reader that addresses several limitations of the original X4. The updated model keeps the same 4.3-inch display and magnetic design, but adds a front light, touchscreen, larger battery, and unlocked firmware.

The original X4 stood out for its unusually compact form factor and stripped-down reading experience, though it lacked some basic conveniences available on larger e-readers. The X4 Pro appears designed to close those gaps while preserving the tiny footprint that made the first model distinctive.
