In our Apple iPad Air 11-inch review, we mentioned how impressed we were with the M3 chip, which delivers powerhouse performance in a very portable package. It handled most workloads we threw at it with aplomb, and even gives the more powerful iPad Pro with the M4 chip a run for its money.

iPadOS is just as easy and intuitive to use as ever, and Apple has promised that the iPad Air M3 will support future Apple Intelligence features. You can already use its AI to perform certain tasks right now, though, from quickly removing undesirable aspects from photos to summarizing your notifications.

And despite its compact 11-inch size, the Liquid Retina display is glorious. Its 2360 x 1640 resolution provides plenty of sharpness and clarity, while colors are rendered with plenty of vibrancy. We also thought it did a stellar job of preventing reflections and fingerprints from showing up. It's not a Dynamic OLED display like the iPad Pro gets, and it lacks the higher refresh rate of Apple's ProMotion displays, but it's still excellent nonetheless.

To top it all off, the battery life of the iPad Air 11-inch is also very impressive. During our tests, it managed to last all day, even when we used it with high brightness levels and the optional Magic Keyboard accessory.
