Hurry! The new Apple iPad Air is cheaper than it's ever been—save nearly $70 at Amazon

While Apple’s entry-level iPad is great for casual use, the Apple iPad Air is for when you need a little bit more oomph. It’s speedy, sleek, and powerful. What more could you want?

And now’s the time to act, because Amazon has it on sale for $680—you’ll save $69. It's the all-time lowest price this tablet has ever been. And the Apple iPad Air is so popular, it’s earned a perfect five-star rating from more than 4,800 reviewers.

And if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)

Pure power

The Apple iPad Air Wi-Fi-only model is slightly larger than the previous model, with a 10.9-inch Retina display compared to 10.2. It’s also zippier, thanks to Apple’s A14 Bionic chip built-in (the older model uses the A12 processor). Plus, it has a whopping 256GB of on-board storage. In just about every way, the Apple iPad Air is bigger, faster, sharper and sleeker than the entry-level model.

"Easiest and most powerful iPad Apple offers next to the Pro," raved a five-star reviewer.

Thin, light, sleek

There’s a reason it’s called the iPad Air: It only weighs a pound.

It’s also compatible with styluses like the Apple Pencil and keyboard covers like the Apple Magic Keyboard (both sold separately).

"...It's a bit faster, a bit thinner, a bit lighter, and a bit shinier than all the tablets I've used before," shared a satisfied Amazon shopper. "But, taken altogether—and taken along with the second-generation Apple Pencil—it feels like an entirely new experience. I haven't been this struck by a new device in a while...this is a great little device, it fits itself into my workflow immediately. I think the highest praise I can give it is that it's amazing how quickly it effectively disappeared: Within a couple days of using it, I stopped noticing it, because everything about writing and taking notes with the iPad and the Pencil felt second nature; it felt like it had always been there."

The Apple iPad Air marries the power of the iPad Pro with the lightweight, compact design of the standard iPad. If you want more speed and power than the entry-level version offers, but you’re not ready to spring for the Pro, this is the iPad to get.

Perhaps this five-star reviewer says it best: "My new favorite toy. This is a professional-grade tablet. It is powerful, productive, and fun..."

The new Apple iPad Air comes in all sorts of colors: Green, Rose Gold, Silver, Sky Blue and Space Gray—all on sale!
