Good deal
Def good deal, just keep in mind 8gb ram won't support on-device intelligence for ipados27. If you're not going to be using Apple Intelligence regularly, or don't need the more advanced features, this is an amazing buy.

Just as a heads up, if you're in the military you can get the M4 version right now for $499 at the shop exchange site.

Im torn: I got the M4 256 wifi from costco before the price bump for 600. Here I can get the ceullar m3 for the same price with 256gb. I currently have a cellular ipad and like it. Not sure if I should return the wifi m4 and get this.

I'd say it depends on what you value more, cellular connectivity or more RAM and a better processor. Most people probably won't notice a real world performance difference between the two.

So, iPad Air M3 is already obsoleted by virtue of plan obsolescence. Frown

I decided to go for the M3 cellular and return the M4. I dont care too much about apple intelligence but the cellular is very convenient.
