"Announced in March 2022, the iPad Air is now among the older iPads in Apple's lineup and it is likely at the end of its product cycle. Rumors suggest that a new iPad Air could come as soon as October 2023. This means that now not a good time to buy the iPad Air and most customers should wait for a new model to launch."
So, it's a great tablet, but unless you're going to use the Pencil or do some PC-type work on your Air, I'd stick with the regular iPad.

its buying a Macbook with 128gb today.
$450 iPad 9 with fast cpu has 256gb. The overkill M1 64gb is so unbalance and needs 128gb usbc dongle.
Windows tab come with 256gb-512gb for half the price.
Intel does the same with their 12 cores, more watts

But with this level discount and this chip, this will last a long time. Heck, my work laptop is an M1, and I'm a power user with like 20 apps open at once, 20 things plugged in via 2 Caldigit docks, and I've never felt the need to upgrade to an M2 MacBook Pro.
This is a lot of computing power for the price. The M2 is marginally faster, and you'd notice for some things on desktop like rendering. On the iPad? You'll likely never notice.
The lack of storage is a way bigger issue, IMO.

waiting to read all the apple defenders, "64GB is MORE than enough for *casual* users ! no one would ever need more than 32GB to beeee honest ! paying $500 for something with 64GB is a NON issue and very fair ! it's not over priced at all ! you have to be such a POWER user to even come close to using 64GB of storage.. that's insane ! it's good enough for watching stuff.. bc,,, you know.. no one ever downloads video via amazon prime or netflix {bc they do have those features} ! 64GB will last you for the next 4 years !"
