Apple iPad Air 5 10.9-Inch with M1 Chip, 64GB
The Air that started the M-chip era, still superb
The iPad Air 5 was a landmark: the first Air to receive Apple's M1 chip, the same silicon that transformed the MacBook, bringing genuine laptop-class performance to the mid-range iPad. Years on, that decision keeps it remarkably capable, and it now offers the least expensive route to an M-series iPad in our range. The classic 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, Touch ID, USB-C and Apple Pencil support complete a package that still embarrasses most new tablets.
Umoja Marketplace Africa supplies the genuine unit with warranty support and delivery across Kenya.

Who this iPad is for
The Air 5 is the smart-money choice: students who want M-class power for design and media coursework without new-generation pricing, professionals seeking a capable meeting-and-mark-up companion, and value-focused buyers who understand that an M1 iPad remains faster than the everyday tasks most people give it. Its 64GB storage suits cloud-first and streaming-led use.
Heavy local storage users and long-horizon buyers should compare the newer Airs: the 11-inch M2 at 128GB costs a little more and adds storage, generation and Apple Pencil Pro support. That comparison, honestly made, is the Air 5's only real rival.

Slim, light, all-day design. The portable form that made the Air the default serious iPad.
