The obscenely fast iPad Air falls to an unbeatable price as Best Buy makes way for new models،
The base model of the iPad Air with 64GB of storage has a street price of $599.99, but you can get it for $449.99 at Best Buy because the retailer has reduced its price by an amount record $150. The tablet has never sold at such a low price before and it appears Best Buy is eager to get rid of its inventory to free up space for the new models expected in March.
The iPad Air is more of a stripped-down iPad Pro. It's powered by M1, the same desktop chip that underpins the last generation iPad Pro. It is ferociously fast and will stay sharp for years.
However, if you work from home or just don't like lugging your laptop everywhere, the iPad Air is the perfect tablet for you. Since it has the same chip that powers many of Apple's Mac computers, it can gracefully handle laptop-like tasks like photo editing and coding. Its GPU is also beastly, so you can also enjoy some gaming time after work.
As we've said before, this is the first time the iPad Air has dropped to $450, so don't hesitate if you need a high-end tablet with all-day battery life for your needs leisure and productivity.
