    Or maybe get a refubished M1/M2 iPad Pro instead
  • To be honest, it looks like the M2 11 inch has slightly thicker bezels then the M1 does but the 13 inch M2 has thinner bezels.
  • Good review. Good to heard that the speakers sound good on the iPad Air 13 and the screen anti reflective coating is good too.
  • @dylanbrassel
    Just got myself the Air M2 13 inch and it’s amazing. What a device. At the Istore, I had looked at both the new iPad Pro and this device and honestly, the 120hz on the Pro is stunning but not a game changer for me. To get the pro for normal use would literally be a waste of your money. Get the air 13 inch, you will not go wrong.
  • @jdyer4858
    I have the M1 Air with 256gb. It is a great device, but not upgrading. IMO, the M2 Air is an incremental upgrade. If I were buying nowm, would get the new one, but happy with what I have.
  • @dchopra6629
    One of the most practical and helpful reviews. Going ahead with IPad Air 13 following this. For portable tablet usage I have the Mini.
  • @readwriter
    The problem with the comment collections on any new Apple product is that the “I am buying THIS version” peacocking — (usually for the given top of the line model) — is that there are THREE groups talking PAST each other: 1) the severely budget constrained; 2) the slightly/moderately budget constrained; 3) the “Budget? What’s a budget? I’ve got cash oozing out of every orifice” contingent.

    I can't wait to see the air 13 inch vs pro 12.9 inch and 13inch comparison. Hopefully thats coming soon. Not sure if I should get the air 13inch or if I should just stay with my pro 12.9 inch ipad.
  • I went and picked up the 13” IPad Air and upgraded the storage to 512! Could not be happier! With the Magic Keyboard and new Apple pencil pro it’s a game changer. Fun to use.
  • @lamar310
    Bought the 13" iPad Air on Friday and it's great. Use it for online classes, gaming, streaming movies, listening podcasts, listening to music, online bill pay, and reading. You get a big screen tablet that's fast, smooth, and light for under $900 and with an iPad trade in...I paid only $600
  • @JeffHorne
    I hope, at some point, you address the sound quality of the 13 inch iPad Pro. It is noticeably different from the previous models, and it sounds much worse if you’re just listening to dialogue on YouTube. Music sounds worse to me also, but that’s a bit more subjective.
  • @TheYMR21
    You can use the apple pencil with the usb-c charging port for the airs. At least that’s what the apple website stated.
  • I have a question. I would like to get a new iPad for every day drawing. Which iPad would be the best to get? thank you for your help.
  • @Yougi
    Looking forward to upgrade my Air 3 to the new M2 11 inch :)
  • @lakeoffm
    Please also use the metric system for the size comparisons :) you’re being watched all over the world, not just in the US 😅
