Revealed at the start of March, the brand new iPad Air with the M3 chip is already enjoying a nice discount at Best Buy. If you've been hoping to get this upgraded tablet as a springtime treat, now's a great time to do it.

Best Buy has knocked the price of the 11-inch Apple iPad Air (M3, WiFi, 128GB) down to $549, $50 off its list price of $599. Considering this iPad was only just released this month, this is a great discount to take advantage of. Purchasing it will also set you up with Apple Fitness+ for free for three months if you're a new subscriber, up to three months of Apple Music for free if you're a new or returning subscriber, up to three months of Apple Arcade for free if you're a new or returning subscriber, and Apple TV+ for free for two months if you're a new or qualified returning subscriber.

The biggest addition to this iPad Air is the M3 chip, which Apple claimed in their announcement of the tablet is, "nearly 2x faster compared to iPad Air with M1, and up to 3.5x faster than iPad Air with A14 Bionic." This particular model comes with an 11-inch Liquid Retina display for crisp, clear screen quality and 128GB of storage so you can stock up on plenty of apps.

Don't miss out on $50 off the brand new 11-inch Apple iPad Air (M3, WiFi, 128GB) right now at Best Buy.
