iPad Air M4 review: Still Apple's best overall tablet, with a few caveats
The iPad Air M4 offers a significant performance upgrade over previous models, particularly in GPU capabilities, making it suitable for demanding tasks like gaming and AI applications. While it maintains the familiar design and a high-quality LCD display, it lacks advanced features like a higher refresh rate or mini-LED technology found in more expensive iPad Pro models. Despite these caveats, the iPad Air M4 remains a strong contender for the best overall tablet for most users due to its performance and accessory support.
