The iPad Air 4 convinces as an upper mid-range device with Pro features as well as a very fast processor, a slim and elegant case, good equipment and a great and bright display. Although the screen still operates at 60 Hz, it is one of the best all-rounders currently available with pronounced gaming features...
The iPad Air 2022 is an excellent tablet. Thanks to the M1 chip and Apple's generous update policy, it offers sufficient performance and security for years. Moreover, with the Apple Pencil 2 and the Magic Keyboard, it supports tools that lift it above a mere sofa tablet. Interested parties must weigh up whether the small iPad Pro is not the better choice.
The iPad Air offers the iPad Pro feeling at a lower price with manageable compromises. The display is not quite as good as that of the Pro, and Face ID is missing. However, the super-nimble M1 CPU is on board. For unbridled fun, we recommend the 256-gigabyte variant from 849 euros.
The price range suggests it: The differences are great. The very affordable price-performance winner from Medion is suitable for writing tasks and comes with a keyboard free of charge. The Xiaomi Pad 5 and Apple's iPad score points for speed and endurance, and their good displays also allow video enjoyment. The test winner iPad Air is suitable for creative focuses that are energy-sapping.
It's the iPad that will keep you happy for a very long time at a fair price.
