This week will be a little different! I don’t have a specific recommendation, instead I wanted to share a few thoughts on the M3 iPad Air I got for an early Christmas present.

Previously I had the 2020 iPad Air. I used this device extensively at work primarily for customer contact and occasionally for meeting notes. Even 5 years later that device has served me well. The biggest problem was that I had foolishly opted for the 64 gb model. Anytime it was time for an update I had to start culling apps. In short, it just wasn’t working for me any more.

Enter the M3 iPad Air! This time I went with 256 gb and a color that could arguably be described as “blue.” It is a very happy time looking at the storage tab in settings and only be filling it up 1/3 of the way. While that was an expected outcome, I wasn’t prepared for much snappier the M3 was vs the A14 that was in my previous model. Everything feels so much better! What Apple is continuing to accomplish with the M series chips is incredible. When I stop and think that this model is 2 generations behind what’s current I’m even more impressed.

This isn’t a full review as I’ve only had the device a couple of days, but if you’re considering an upgrade into an M series iPad, you too will likely feel the improvements!
