The new iPad Air features the M3 chip, offers two screen sizes, and supports all the Apple Intelligence features. The 2024 iPad Pro, on the other hand, stands its ground as the most powerful tablet ever made.

Apple's M4 MacBook Air is shaping up to be an affordable powerhouse. In newly released benchmarks, it performs almost as well as the M4 MacBook Pro, all for $600 less.

The M3 processor is the big selling point of the new iPad Air. Apple says this will make the device nearly twice as fast as the M1 iPad Air (which came out in 2022), and up to three times faster than the iPad Air with A14 Bionic (which came out in 2020).
