The Apple iPad Air M3 is still in stock and $120 off for Prime Day

Prime Day continues today, and that means you can still get steep discounts on many of our favorite consumer gadgets — including the Apple iPad Air with M3 chip. The M3-powered iPad is on sale at a record low price of $479. Considering its normal retail value is $599, that's a 20 percent discount. That's generous considering this model was just released in March of this year.

This model remains our overall pick for best iPad, and we gave it a score of 89 out of 100 in our review. The powerful M3 chip was the star of the show. Testing shows the M3 is about 16 percent more powerful in both single- and multi-core performance than the M2.

The iPad Air is still Apple's most affordable large-screen iPad, which makes multitasking easier than on the base iPad. The M3 iPad Air is also compatible with the new Magic Keyboard for iPad Air, which is a much-improved design based on the keyboard that was introduced alongside the iPad Pro M4.

This is the lowest we've ever seen the iPad Air with M3, so if you're in the market for an iPad, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better deal than this one. Most people will be happy with the iPad Air, but there are a couple of other Prime Day iPad deals worth considering too. The cheapest iPad, the iPad A16, is on sale for $280 right now, and the smallest iPad, the iPad mini, has dropped to a record low of $379.
