An 11-inch iPad Air slips into a bag, ready for notes, sketches, split-screen work, or a keyboard session.
Built for more than browsing
The M4 chip works with iPadOS multitasking on an 11-inch Liquid Retina display, while Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard support extend the tablet into drawing, note-taking, and typing workflows. Its 1.02-pound, 0.24-inch body keeps that setup portable; 128GB is the listed storage baseline.
