Apple iPad Air 13" (M3)

The 13-inch Air gives you the large canvas of a Pro without the OLED display or the top-tier chip, at a considerably lower price. The M3 is comfortably fast enough for illustration, video editing and everything else iPadOS permits. The LCD is bright and accurate; you notice the difference from the Pro's OLED mainly in dark scenes. It supports the Pencil Pro. For most people wanting a big iPad, this is the rational purchase.
