Apple's M2 iPad Air Almost Back to Its Record Low Just in Time for the Holidays

Apple's M2 iPad Air is the best model to ever carry the iconic Air name. You get the best of both worlds with the superfast M2 chip, making this tablet great for both work and play. The standard 11-inch model with 128GB is down to $499 on Amazon. If you still need to do some holiday shopping, this makes for a really great gift for anyone on your holiday list.

In general, there are big discounts across the iPad Air 11-inch lineup, amounting to an average of $100 in discounts for every color and storage size. For reference, the storage sizes are 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB while the colors available are starlight, space gray, purple and blue.

Keep in mind that prices at Amazon tend to fluctuate, so if you want to make sure you get this iPad at this price, it's best to act sooner rather than later. Also note the shipping time. While some models are marked to arrive before Christmas, others note that it may arrive after Christmas, so check your expected shipping timeline before you place your order if you're hoping to place it beneath the tree in time for Christmas morning.

In his review, CNET's Scott Stein found that the new model added "a bit more bang for your extra buck."

"The base model has double the storage at 128GB; a more capable processor; and it works with Apple's new Pencil Pro, an improved stylus with extra features of its own that will appeal to artists and creatives," he added.
