For everyday tablet users, the 11th-generation iPad is a perfect fit. It boasts a speedy A16 chip, a significant upgrade from the previous generation's A14. Starting storage has doubled to 128GB at no extra cost. Aesthetically, it remains largely unchanged, available in silver, blue, yellow, and pink. While internal improvements are substantial, it's important to note the absence of Apple Intelligence.

If you can forgo Apple Intelligence (and many iPhone 16 users can attest to its non-essential nature), the 11th-generation iPad provides ample power for everyday tasks like gaming, browsing, streaming, social media, email, and more. Its performance should remain robust for several years.

The new iPad Air occupies a sweet spot in Apple's tablet lineup, offering superior performance to the base model while falling short of the iPad Pro. If you require more computing power than the entry-level iPad, the M3-powered iPad Air is an excellent choice, available in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes.

As the name suggests, it features Apple's powerful M3 chip and supports Apple Intelligence, a feature absent in the base model. It's also compatible with a new Magic Keyboard (available at Apple) featuring function keys and a trackpad.
