Why the new 13-inch iPad Air M2 is a "pro" in every way

Review of the Apple iPad Air M2 2024: The brand-new iPad Air 13-inch boasts a potent M2 CPU, a large display, and adaptable accessories. Here's why I think it's an almost "Pro" quality device.I opted to purchase an iPad not quite a year into my first full-time position as a tech journalist. My father questioned why I preferred an iPad to a Mac. I was certain that the iPad Air from the first generation was what I needed. I can still picture myself entering a Croma store. I took it everywhere I went as my go-to writing tool and entertainment system for watching movies and playing video games. It is still functional and I own it. Since then, I've tried a variety of Apple and non-Apple accessories and reviewed nearly every iPad. I am an avid user of the iPad and have both strong opinions and criticisms about it.The iPad has undergone substantial change.

Apple continues to refer to the new iPad Air 13-inch as the "Air," but in my opinion, it feels more like a "pro" tablet. If you believe this is the right iPad Air, its increased size, large expansive display, potent M2 chip, and compatibility with the new Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard are all indications that it's about to become a true personal computer. But in my opinion, the iPad Air 13-inch is the most developed model; it does all the functions I'm accustomed to from an iPad, without the bulk that the "iPad Pro" has.
