Digital nomads should start partying in their remote workplaces because Apple’s latest launch is for them. Announced last week and finally released today, March 18, the new iPad Air is an upgrade from its predecessors, with new features that will finally convince you to ditch your traditional laptop setup in favor of its compact and ultra-portable design.

Powered by the Apple-designed M1 chip, it’s the most powerful iPad Air ever, improving both performance and efficiency. With an 8-core processor, it’s 60 percent faster than its predecessor and has a battery that Apple says will last all day, even if you watch TikTok videos until your eyes get blurry. If you want to use this device for video conferencing, its front camera has Center Stage, a tool that helps you stay centered in the frame (making it a great gift for this parent who keeps jostling while FaceTiming you).

But really, the iPad Air is destined to land in the hands of a content creator. You can easily shoot 4K video and capture high definition photos with it, then edit them immediately (we highly recommend grabbing the magic pen for this – it’s a dream to use and will take your videos from looking sketchy to professional in a jiffy of a wrist). As we’re all (finally) starting to travel again, what we like the most is the iPad Air’s compact size, especially given its high output. Weighing just a pound, we doubt you’ll ever want to fly with a laptop again.

In terms of looks, well, this might be the sweetest iteration of the iPad yet. Available in five soft metallic colors – space gray, pink, purple, blue and starry white – you can find one that matches your personality. If you’re sold, buy the iPad Air today, with prices starting at $599. Just promise us one thing: don’t be that person during a gig recording with their iPad held overhead, blocking everyone’s view. Thank you in advance.
