Slim, premium aluminium; big to carry, no IP rating

Each part is rated on one scale for every tablet, from reviewers' measurements (battery tests, brightness, benchmarks) where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports, including after-sales service. It rates the tablet itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Big speed gain over the M3 Air
  • Over 13 hours in the Wi-Fi battery test
  • Bright, accurate screen with no flicker
  • Fast Wi-Fi 7, drives two external displays
  • Good speakers
  • Copes with 4K editing and games
  • Slim and well balanced for its size

Cons

  • Still 60 Hz
  • Takes over two hours to charge
  • Throttles hard under long loads
  • eSIM-only 5G, few Bluetooth codecs
  • No ProMotion
  • Battery drops fast during video exports
  • Warms up under load
  • NotebookcheckMar 2026

    A real alternative to the iPad Pro for most people: very fast and long-lasting, held back by a 60 Hz screen and slow charging.

  • DigitMar 2026

    For most buyers who can live without a 120 Hz screen, this big Air hits the sweet spot.

  • Business TodayMay 2026

    Polished, near-Pro speed without the Pro price, though the 13-inch feels big to carry and needs a keyboard for real work.

  • TechRadar (NL)Mar 2026

    The best iPad for most people and a solid step up, but M2/M3 Air owners don't need to upgrade.
