For a limited time, Amazon is offering the 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3 tablets at the lowest prices I've seen so far. The 11" model is now available for just $499, and the 13" model is down to $699, both after a $100 instant discount. These are the best prices we've seen for this 2025 model with the M3 chip, making them a fantastic gift idea for Mother's Day, which falls on May 11.

The 7th gen iPad Air, released in March, is the latest generation model. It's only one year newer than the 6th gen model, with the major upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip. The M3 chip offers about a 20% speed increase over its predecessor and is just 20% slower than the iPad Pro M4 chip. Apart from this, the iPad Air retains the stunning Ultra Retina XDR display, Wi-Fi 6E, and 5G cellular connectivity. It's compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, turning it into a versatile iOS hybrid laptop. Additionally, it supports Apple Intelligence.

"**The iPad for the rest of us**. For most people who need their tablet for gaming or watching movies, the iPad Air hits the sweet spot. While it may not be as premium as the iPad Pro, its beautiful display and still-powerful M2 processor make it more than sufficient."
