Why we like it

The latest iPad Air has a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, an A14 Bionic chip for speedy processing, 10 hours of battery life, and is one of our favorite tablets. And with all that, it still holds true to its name by being super lightweight. At the time of writing, only the green model was in stock and on sale, but if you really don’t love the color, slap a case on it and you’ll never know the difference.
