Apple's iPad lineup includes four distinct product lines. Of them, the iPad Air 6 (2024) with M2 processor hits the best balance between price and performance. It's more powerful than the basic iPad, and not as expensive as the more expensive iPad Pros. And now Amazon has great early Black Friday deals on a range iPad Air configurations — making now a great time to jump on getting a new Apple tablet.

The iPad Air M2 stands out for its Apple Intelligence support (not available on the 10th generation iPad, wider color gamut, and vastly improved performance.
