Apple iPad Air 2025 采用 11 英寸屏幕,得益于Apple M3,性能令人印象深刻。而它的起价还不到 600 美元。与昂贵的Android 旗舰产品相比,我们是否更推荐它?请阅读我们的评测,一探究竟。

Apple has done little more than update the processor for the 2025 iPad Air. The M3 gives the Air a bit more oomph when it comes to performance and managing features like Apple Intelligence, battery life, and imaging. Otherwise, the hardware and most functions largely carry over from the previous generation. Despite this low-key upgrade, the iPad Air remains the best choice for students and creators who need a powerful tablet at a decent price, which is enough to earn the iPad Air our Editors' Choice award. The iPad Pro is still our top pick for professionals, while the base iPad is easy to recommend to anyone who simply wants to browse the web, download apps, and stream videos.

After using the iPad Air with the M3 processor for work and entertainment this past week, I can attest to the tablet's strong performance and capability to support a creator's workflow. The caveat is that you must be willing to compromise on the applications you use and likely set up your browser to pull up desktop versions of your most frequently visited websites. The iPad Air configuration I'm testing isn't cheap. The 13-inch model with 1TB of storage costs $1,299. Add a $269 Magic Keyboard and a $129 Apple Pencil Pro, and you're looking at a $1,697 tablet setup. That's why I mostly recommend the iPad Air if you don't need the highest storage configuration, considering the 11-inch model starts at a lesser $599 and the 13-inch model at $799 with 128GB.

The M3 iPad is a remarkable device. It’s a fantastic tablet. It’s because it’s so great and powerful as a casual tablet that we want to push it even further. Adding the Magic Keyboard is truly transformative. While I can’t do all my work on an iPad, I think a lot of people would be surprised how well it could serve them. So much work is done on the web, where all you need is a keyboard and precise pointing device. For a lot of people, not needing a proper computer is a relief and a weight off the shoulders — the iPad’s relative simplicity is the whole point.

The basic iPad does many things well and is nearly half the price of the iPad Air. If you only need an iPad to watch videos, browse the web, and stitch the occasional video together, it’s hard to justify the additional cost of the iPad Air. And at the iPad Air’s prices, it’s tempting to splash the cash and go all out for the iPad Pro. It’s a much nicer iPad with advanced features that make a difference. Plus, if you are going to be keeping it for the next couple of years, doesn’t it make sense to go for the best? The iPad mini is no slouch too. It’s extremely compact, supports the Apple Pencil Pro, and costs considerably less too.

On one side, the iPad Air has pretty much everything you'd want from a tablet. A powerful chip that has enough headroom to last you a good amount of years, good speakers, and a screen that looks good. But then, that same screen is locked at 60 Hz to nudge you towards the Pro, the chip is a bit battery-hungry, and if you want to add extra accessories like the Keyboard and Pencil — you go into laptop price territory (and a good laptop at that). OK, let's take the laptop off the table and assume you really, really want a tablet and exactly a tablet. Well, the iPad Air is better than the competition in its class.

The iPad Air M3 might not be a revolutionary tablet, but it’s still a fantastic device for most people. The M3-driven performance doesn’t disappoint, and it's a delight to watch videos or read books on its bright and colorful display. Toss in handy and fun Apple Intelligence features, reliable battery life and the overall thin and light design, and you have another winning Apple slate.My only real complaint isn’t with the iPad Air itself, but with its pricey peripherals. Sure, you don’t technically need the Magic Keyboard or Apple Pencil Pro. But they’re vital tools, especially if you’re an artist. If price isn’t a concern, however, then the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro are well worth the investment. Complaints aside, the iPad Air M3 is one of the best tablets you can buy and the one I’d now recommend to anyone interested in an Apple slate.

This is the new M3 iPad Air. It comes just nine months after the last model M2 iPad Air. Why the frequent releases? Well, it's because the iPad is the most popular tablet, and this model isn't necessarily aiming at people with the M2 iPad Air, but those with an older model. The new M3 does bring better support for Apple Intelligence, and a more powerful GPU for better gaming and video editing performance. The M3 iPad Air also has the updated new Magic Keyboard that is thinner and lighter than the previous generation.

Early reviews of the upcoming M3 iPad Air note the ho-hum nature of Apple’s update: The midrange tablet gets a speed boost thanks to a new chip and nothing else. Still, the device gets lots of compliments from reviewers. The consensus remains that the iPad Air continues to be a worthy option for those who want more than the budget iPad but aren’t willing to pay for all the additional features of an iPad Pro.

When I take my tired, cynical tech reviewer hat off and put myself in the shoes of an everyday person perusing online retailers and thinking about clicking “add to cart,”, I can say that the iPad Air M3 is unquestionably one of the best iPads out right now. It’s nice and light, works with most of the apps you probably care about and is absurdly fast — to the point where a good chunk of power users drawn to the iPad Pro can save a few hundred bucks and just get this one instead. If your budget isn’t particularly tight and you’re upgrading after many years (or getting your very first iPad), you’ll be very happy with your purchase. But for folks who already have an iPad they’re content with — or don’t need every bell and whistle — the M3 iPad Air can be a tough sell.

The iPad Air with M3 continues to be a solid, versatile work and play companion, packing even more of a punch for heavy-duty processing – though the lack of more substantial incentives makes it difficult to recommend the leap for most.

On the other hand, I’m iPad person and I use mine like a computer a lot. I love writing on it with the Magic Keyboard, and I have an optimized desk setup that allows me to integrate it into my workflow really easily. As a video editor, I still like working on a laptop with multiple displays, and more mature video editing apps, but really, that’s come down to preference. Fernando Silva, the video editor at 9to5Mac, edits all of his videos on an iPad Pro using Luma Fusion and honestly if Final Cut for iPad was a one time purchase I think I’d do a lot more editing on iPad as well. If you want an iPad to be your main computer, get the iPad Air, but make sure you commit to learning it. That’s the key you need to be aware of. It may do a lot of the same stuff as your Mac, but it will do it differently, and that will take time to figure out.

In addition to the more powerful processor, there are two reasons for going for the Air over and above the standard model. Firstly, you want a bigger display – like the Pro, this iPad is available in 11 and 13in sizes. Secondly, you want the support for the Apple Pencil Pro for design work. So the iPad Air is a great ‘cheaper Pro’ but you really need to be sure you need that extra extra screen real estate and power before you buy. If you’re thinking of buying the Magic Keyboard, then stop and think first – adding a keyboard to the cost means you’re very rapidly into MacBook Air-level pricing and I’d choose the laptop every time. And if the base level 11th generation model is enough for you, it certainly won’t let you down.

Apple revealed an updated MacBook Air, Mac Studio, iPad Air and entry-level iPad. They all have new chips, but CNET’s Bridget Carey says that with questions looming over the effect of tariffs, what’s most refreshing are the prices.

More quietly than the iPad Air's announcement, Apple also updated its iPad base model to launch the 11th-generation iPad. This new iPad will be available on March 12, starting at $349, though it is open for pre-order now. Unlike the iPad Air, the 11th-generation iPad won't support Apple Intelligence, as it boasts an A16 Bionic chip. Apple Intelligence is only available on A17 Bionic chip devices and M1 and newer devices.
