If the iPad 10 and the new iPad 11 don’t meet your power requirements and you’re looking for a tablet with at least an Apple Silicon chip and Apple Intelligence compatibility without paying the premium price of the iPad Air M2, the previous version equipped with an M1 chip is currently available at an attractive price in Apple’s refurbished product store.

iPad Air 5 with M1 Chip: Apple Intelligence Compatible

Compared to the iPad 10, the iPad Air M1 has several advantages to offer, such as a laminated display, a much faster USB-C port (480 Mb/s vs. 10 Gb/s for the Air), an Apple Silicon M1 chip compatible with Apple Intelligence and significantly speedier than the A14 Bionic in the iPad 10 and the A16 in the iPad 11, as well as double the RAM (8GB vs 4GB).

This tablet is designed to run all apps and games from the App Store under the best conditions. Another significant advantage is that the iPad Air M1 2022 is compatible with the Apple Pencil 2. This accessory recharges by attaching magnetically to the side of the iPad Air, which is far more convenient than the first generation and its Lightning port.

Starting at $449

The iPad Air 5 also supports Apple’s Magic Keyboard/trackpad combo, arguably the best peripheral of its kind on the market (though it is pricey).

Why Shop Refurbished?

A reminder that shopping Refurbished ensures you receive a device that’s like new, complete with all accessories, a one-year warranty, and the option to purchase an Apple Care plan. We often buy devices this way which appear brand new (no scratches, no marks on the screen or on the pads), and we have never encountered any issues.
