$599 Save $100

We'll cut to the chase — we think the iPad Air is the best Apple tablet for most people and right now, it's on sale for its lowest price ever.

Though it's not the first time this tablet has dropped to this price (and likely won't be its last), it's still a great value on a tablet that's already fairly competitively priced. Whether your finally righting a holiday mishap one by grabbing one for yourself, picking up an early Valentine's Day gift, or simply are ready to get a new tablet, you can grab the 11-inch M2 iPad Air for just $499 at Amazon and Best Buy, saving you $100 off its $599 list price.

The name Air is a bit of a misnomer these days — Apple's M4 iPad Pro currently wears the crown for the thinnest Apple product on the market. That said, the iPad Pro also starts at $999 for an 11-inch display, and generally offers more premium features that everyday users might not want (or need). The Air, on the other hand, still has a sleek design, plenty of power thanks to the M2 chip, starting storage of 128GB, about 10 hours of battery life (according to our sister site PCMag, also owned by Ziff Davis), and still clocks in at just 1.2 pounds.

You may not get the OLED display of the Pro, but you do get a tablet that can power note taking and popular art apps. Unless you're regularly running intense tasks, PCMag's Sarah Lord put it best in her comparison between the two tablets: "Get the iPad Air if you want the most value. It's more than powerful enough to run any iPad appyou want, supports nearly all the latest accessories, and comes in fun colors."
