I track iPad sales year-round. Although I'm used to seeing the best iPad deals toward the end of the year, Target has a sale that's even taken me by surprise.
For a limited time, you can get the 11-inch iPad Air (M3) on sale for $399 at Target. That's $200 off and the lowest price I've ever seen for this tablet. Even better, it arrives in time for Christmas. (By comparison, Amazon has it for $499).
The iPad Air M3 is our new choice for the best iPad you can buy. In our iPad Air M3 review, we gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars, which is a near-perfect score. Sure, it’s not a huge upgrade over its predecessor, but it's an incredible device that can do almost anything you’d want from a tablet.
As its name suggests, this is a thin and lightweight tablet that’s easy to carry around wherever you go. Measuring 0.24 inches thick and weighing just 1.05 pounds, you’ll barely even notice it in your backpack.
The biggest update to the latest iPad Air is the M3 processor. The chip packs an 8-core CPU, a 9-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. This configuration also has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Thanks to these specs, this iPad Air has enough power for tasks like web surfing and even some gaming. In our testing, we ran multiple apps and tabs simultaneously without any slowdown.
Apple’s M3 chip also lets you access several Apple Intelligence features, such as removing unwanted objects from photos. Apple Intelligence can also rewrite your messages and emails if you want to sound more professional, casual, or concise.
Toss in its sharp 12MP cameras and nearly 10-hour battery life, and the iPad Air M3 is one of the finest tablets you can buy.
