2$349.00 at AmazonIf you're looking for a tablet that meets everyday computing needs, the new 11th-generation iPad is an excellent choice. It's powered by the faster A16 chip, an upgrade from the A14 in the last model, and starts with a generous 128GB of storage at no extra cost. The design remains familiar, available in silver, blue, yellow, and pink, but it performs better across the board. Notably, it does not include Apple Intelligence.
For users who mainly use their iPad for gaming, browsing, watching videos, social media, and email, the 11th-gen iPad offers all the performance you need and will serve you well for years to come.
