80% Apple iPad Air M3 review: Predictably great
Source: BGR English EN→zh-CN
Here’s the thing: Apple isn’t making base iPads or iPad Airs for the kinds of people who want to upgrade their tablet every single year. From that perspective, the iPad Air M3 makes total sense. If you have an iPad Air M2 or even an M1 model, you shouldn’t buy the iPad Air M3. Instead, if your seven or eight-year-old iPad has slowed down enough to where you can’t get what you want from it anymore, then the iPad Air M3 is an excellent upgrade. This tablet will last years to come, just like your previous one did. Sure, you could buy a used M2 model if you want, but spending that extra bit of cash for the M3 variant will likely ensure that your shiny new tablet lasts that extra bit longer down the line.

90% Apple 13-inch MacBook Air (M4) review: A clean knock-out
Source: Hardware Zone English EN→zh-CN
The new MacBook Air may not be as seminal a machine as the recently updated Mac Mini, but it’s easily one of the best MacBook Airs Apple has ever released. It’s powerful, well-built, thin and light, has a long battery life, and is even cheaper than the model it replaces. Furthermore, it now comes with 16GB of memory as standard, which addresses one of our longest-standing and biggest issues with Apple’s base configuration MacBooks. However, it’s not perfect. The Liquid Retina display is starting to look outdated now given that most Windows laptops are steadily transitioning to OLED displays. Throttling can be an issue on longer or more intensive workloads. Also, having just 256GB and two USB-C ports is a bit miserly. Thankfully, none of these are dealbreakers and don’t detract from the fact that, for most people, the MacBook Air is all the MacBook they’ll need.

iPad Air M3 Review: Once Again, the Pro iPad for Most
Source: CNet English EN→zh-CN
Apple removed the "iPad Air" from the back of this iPad Air. There's just an Apple logo now. Maybe it's a sign. Air doesn't mean anything right now in Apple's iPad universe. The Air is very good, and at the right config, this could very well be the futureproofed, more affordable iPad that's perfect for you -- especially if you're interested in pushing the iPad hard for tools that will need the M3 performance. Don't overspend, and you'll be happy. What do I really want here? I've said it before, I'd like these lovely keyboarded, powerful iPads to become Macs at the touch of a button. That would help me. And, sure, an OLED display would be nice. But the Air covers all the rest of the bases I'd ever need. I just can't justify them being super expensive if they're not ready to make the leap into MacOS convertibles, too.

Should you buy M3 iPad Air? Here are the best new features, specs, pricing, and more

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.

这个屏幕尺寸对于平板来说略大,而对亚笔记本来说稍小。一些变形本采用了这个尺寸的屏幕。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
