Patience can pay off when it comes to tech. If you don’t need the latest Apple device, waiting a few years before buying comes with the perk of scoring some great sale prices. If your current tablet is feeling slow and sad or you’re simply looking for a much better device to watch your evening shows, the Apple iPad Air could a great fit.

As of March 4, the Apple iPad Air (WiFi, 64GB) is on sale at Amazon for just $ 449, marked down from the typical MSRP of $ 599. That’s a savings of $ 150 or a 25% discount. This sale price applies to the Space Gray, Purple, and Blue colorways. But if you prefer Pink or Starlight, you’ll still be getting a great deal at $ 449.99.

Rumor has it that the Apple iPad Air will be getting an update this spring. But if you don’t feel like waiting around or paying full price for a new Apple tablet, this 5th gen Apple iPad Air will fit the bill instead.

Like its name suggests, the iPad Air is designed to be lightweight with a thin profile, meaning it’s ideal for tossing in your tote bag or packing in your carry-on luggage for spring break. But just because it’s light doesn’t mean it lacks features. The iPad Air has a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display and an M1 chip processor. The antireflective coating means you’ll be seeing less of the background and more of what’s on screen.

Should you feel like using the iPad Air as a super portable laptop, it’s compatible with Apple’s Magic Keyboard, which is sold separately.

Mashable senior editor Stan Schroeder reviewed the Apple iPad Air in 2022 and wrote, “Apple’s iPad Air is the sweet spot of Apple’s tablets. It’s elegant, powerful, and versatile enough for both casual users and professionals.”

If you’ve been mulling over the idea of getting a new tablet, today’s sale price is worthy of clicking “add to cart.”
