Apple’s 2022 iPad Air was a triumph for users looking to get serious performance and exceptional hardware without having to step up to the iPad Pro tier. At $749, the fifth-generation iPad Air offered a mid-tier option. Now Best Buy’s back-to-school sale is making this M1 version of one of the best tablets all the more enticing by cutting over 30% off the price to bring it down to just $500 for the 256GB version.
Portable and powerful, the iPad Air gives users a serious upgrade over the base model without shelling out for the Pro. Now you can snag a fifth-generation one from Best Buy for the lowest price ever in the 256GB version.
Apple reimagined the iPad Air design in 2020, and the 2022 model carried that same design language forward, just with new colors. This gives you a nice selection of hues to choose from since five colors are 33% off. Apple’s real upgrades for the 2022 iPad Air came on the inside, where it got the same M1 chip that made Apple’s 2020 MacBook Air such a success. With that level of processing power and efficiency on hand inside, the iPad Air becomes a truly effective device for serious productivity.
Between the internal processing and the sharp 10.9-inch display, the iPad Air gives you a lot to work with. It even supports the second-generation Apple Pencil (which Best Buy is also discounting), so you can jot down notes, mark up documents or create works of art on the go.
If you’ve been looking to get yourself or a loved one the best iPad as a gift and haven’t quite felt that the base model was going to cut it, this electronics deal on the more powerful iPad Air is just what you’ve been looking for.
