Same price as Amazon Prime, but way better if you have one of Best Buy memberships, to get the 60 days return period.

Also it helps if you have Amex offer $25 off $250+ purchases on best buy.

Is the iPad Air M3 worth the extra cost if all you do is web browsing and watching Netflix?

Longevity and performance wise

Not really. This base model is really enough. The only thing you may want the air is for the laminated display and if you ever plan to do something a lot more productive with it like video editing and drawing.

I thought it was worth the cost. The M3 chip is much newer tech which means you can probably use this ipad for a couple years more than the A16 chip.

Im sure the M3 will last longer in a general sense, but for web browsing and watching Netflix an A16 will be fine for a good while. The latest Apple TV 4K has an A15 in it.
It doesn't take a lot of power to stream video and these chips all have hardware decoding.

Not at all. For most people the main difference you'll notice is that with the pro you can unlock with faceid vs a finger print unlock. For me even my 2018 iPad Pro was preferred over a newer m chip equipped iPad Air because of faceid. I have a newer m1 iPad Pro and unless you're really looking for it it's not really faster.
