A new generation of iPad is hotly anticipated, and expected to finally drop on May 7th after its release was pushed back several months. In the meantime, the iPad Air 5th generation is still available, offering powerful performance at a lower price than the iPad Pro.

The already affordable model is now available at its lowest price thanks to this Best Buy deal of the day. Today only, you can save $200 on the 64 GB tablet.

The iPad Air, which debuted in 2022, comes outfitted with an M1 chip that also powers the Apple Macbooks. In other words, this small tablet has all the power of a laptop in a compact size.

Mashable's Stan Schroder applauded the device, awarding it a Mashable Choice Award, for its processing speed, high-quality selfie camera, and large displays. It possesses all the key features of the iPad Pro, but comes at a lower price.

What the iPad Air lacks is storage. 64 GB might be fine for most, but gives limited space for downloading shows and movies to stream off of WiFi. You can upgrade to a model offering 256 GB, but it'll cost you. Unfortunately, Best Buy's deal only covers the 64 GB model.

With the release of the next generation iPad Air right around the corner, now is the time to grab Apple's current model for its lowest price at just $399.99.
