Why we like the Apple iPad Air 5
Although there is a new iPad Air model to be revealed soon, the current iPad Air 5 (review) is still a phenomenal slab particularly now that it is cheaper. It features a powerful Apple M1 chipset coupled with plenty of RAM at 8 GB, which is twice the amount of its predecessor. The setup provides snappy and smooth performance in all scenarios even running triple-A game titles.
While the iPad Air 5’s design has not drastically changed, the tablet remains a modern-looking and lightweight machine. It has a bright and sharp 10.9-inch IPS LCD screen as well, and this supports the Pencil 2 for sketching and note-taking. You can find a future-proof USB-C 3.1 port as well that enables connecting to an external monitor or TV and fast charging.

Apple gave the iPad Air 5 with a new 12 MP selfie camera while enabling Center Stage for FaceTime and video calls. While in the back, the 12 MP shooter can take decent images and record 4K video at the same time.
Apple iPad Air 5 offers solid battery life as well. From a full charge state, the tablet can last a couple of days with mixed usage of browsing, streaming, and editing documents.
