Apple iPad Air 5 in blue
Apple/CNET

Apple makes some of the best tablets money can buy and sometimes it takes a little less of that money to pick them up. Like right now, with Amazon offering the M1 iPad Air in 256GB configuration for just $650, matching the retailer's best price to date.

The 256GB version of the M1 iPad Air would normally cost around $750, but you can save $100 (13%) by placing your order today. You'll pay just $650 without jumping through coupon-shaped hoops or entering discount codes. Amazon even has multiple colors available at this special price as well -- make sure to pick the one that best suits your look before adding anything to your cart.

This M1 iPad Air is the best that Apple has ever offered, thanks to a large 10.9-inch Liquid Retina Display and an all-day battery life that will have you reaching for that charger less often. When you do, you'll charge using USB-C rather than Lightning these days, too.

The use of that M1 chip unlocks performance that most other tablets can only dream of as well. Whether gaming or working, you won't find this tablet running out of steam any time soon. Throw an Apple Pencil and a Magic Keyboard into the mix and you'll be a productivity powerhouse.

Keep in mind that this is also the upgraded 256GB model so you can install more apps and games, and save more photos and videos, than the standard 64GB version. At this price it's an easy tablet to recommend -- the only difficult decision you have to make now is which color to go for.

Actually, that's a lie. You should choose blue.
