Good deal – The “5 star” Apple iPad Air 4 touchscreen tablet at € 639.00

With its new iPad Air 4, Apple offers a more than complete tablet. This model easily competes with what we find in the competition under Android, but also with another model of its own family, namely the 11-inch iPad Pro.

If we judge what this iPad Air 4 offers, what’s the point of getting an 11-inch iPad Pro? Unless you’re actually relying on the second photo module, the LiDAR sensor, and Face ID, the new iPad Air seems like a perfect partner. It is lighter, just as powerful, and above all just as pleasant to use. We simply regret the absence of a refresh rate at 120 Hz, but this is nitpicking, because the 60 Hz of this panel is perfectly controlled. The iPad Air 2020 corrects all that we pointed out negative on that of last year. So much so that it is now reasonable to consider the iPad Air 4 as a replacement for your computer or an 11-inch iPad Pro.

As an alternative

Samsung’s last 5-star tablet was the Galaxy Tab S5e. A model still relevant today, of which the Galaxy Tab S7 becomes the worthy heir. Despite the absence of an Oled panel, it ticks all the boxes of what we are entitled to expect from an Android tablet today. The 16:10 format on an 11-inch panel is as pleasant for transport as it is for handling or for working as if it were a computer. Its high-end processor, its large battery and its more than correct photo part allow it to pose itself as one of the best Android tablets, even one of the best tablets at all.
