Who it suits
Best for most people
The highest average here, from three reviews at four and a half out of five each. Tom's Guide and Trusted Reviews both call it the best tablet for most people, and TechRadar says the M4 chip, 12GB of memory and improved connectivity blur the line between the Air and the iPad Pro at a much more approachable price. Tom's Guide also lists more performance per watt and an excellent display.
Where it falls down. It is a modest update: Trusted Reviews calls it another minor spec-based upgrade and says there is little reason to move from an M2 or M3, and TechRadar lists no major design changes. TechRadar and Trusted Reviews both mark it down for having no ProMotion display; Tom's Guide for no Face ID, stagnant battery life and a pricey keyboard.
