The 11-inch iPad Air is great for students and creators, giving casual users a more budget-friendly option. With an M2 chip, it's powerful enough to handle most tasks easily, and it has powerful cameras for a tablet.

Grab the 11-inch M2 iPad Air for $499 instead of its full price of $599 at Amazon and Best Buy as of Jan. 27. All told, you'll get a 17% discount on this iPad by picking it up at its record low price.

For a limited time, the 11-inch iPad Air M2 (Wi-Fi/128GB) is on sale for $499 at Amazon. This is $100 off and the lowest price I've seen for the best tablet we've tested. The iPad Air M2 is a triple threat in terms of battery life, performance and portability and it's incredible value after this discount.
