Save 25%: The 11-inch Apple iPad Air (M3, WiFi, 128GB) is on sale for $449, saving you $150 off the $599 list price. You can grab this deal at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.


If you missed grabbing the iPad Air deal that had it at its lowest price ever a few weeks ago, I have great news: the deal is back.

As of Sept. 15, you can grab the 11-inch Apple iPad Air with an M3 chip and 128GB of storage for just $449 at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. At full price, the tablet goes for $599, making this a whopping $150 discount.

This kind of price cut feels like it should come on an older model, but the M3 iPad Air was released just this past March, and has stood out as Mashable's favorite iPad for most people. The M3 chip gives it the power to be used as laptop, which thanks to the latest iOS 26 update, is more feasible than ever for Apple's tablets.

In addition to its power, it has 14 hours of battery life, a landscape camera, compatibility with the Apple Pencil Pro, and a lightweight design that makes it great to take on the go. Altogether, these features give the tablet a strong degree of versatility, making it as excellent for streaming your favorite shows as it is for reading a book or getting some creative work done (especially if you'd rather not pay iPad Pro prices).
