Apple iPad Air 5th Gen 10.9-inch Wi-Fi + Cellular 256GB (Starlight, MM743B/A)

Long Description

The Apple iPad Air 5th Generation (model MM743B/A) in the elegant Starlight finish is a highly capable and visually stunning tablet, designed to meet the demands of modern users in Nairobi, Kenya. Whether for work, creativity, education, or entertainment, this iPad Air delivers exceptional performance and seamless connectivity. Released in March 2022, it is powered by the Apple M1 chip, the same desktop-class processor found in some of Apple’s Mac computers. The M1 chip features an 8-core CPU that provides up to 60% faster performance than the previous iPad Air, and an 8-core GPU for up to 2x faster graphics. This enables fluid execution of demanding applications like video editing, graphic design, augmented reality (AR) experiences, and high-fidelity gaming, ensuring a consistently smooth and responsive user experience.

This particular configuration boasts 8GB of unified RAM and a generous 256GB of internal storage. This provides ample space for a large collection of applications, high-resolution photos, 4K videos, and extensive project files, accommodating even the most storage-intensive workflows.

A key highlight of this model is its Wi-Fi + Cellular capability, which includes 5G connectivity. This ensures that you remain connected and productive even when traditional Wi-Fi is unavailable, leveraging superfast cellular networks in Kenya (supporting a wide range of 5G NR, FDD LTE, TDD LTE, and HSPA bands). This is an invaluable feature for professionals on the go, students, and anyone who requires constant internet access outside of Wi-Fi zones.

The 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display is a visual masterpiece, offering a 2360 x 1640 pixel resolution at 264 pixels per inch (ppi). It supports P3 wide color for rich and accurate hues, True Tone technology for automatic white balance adjustment to match ambient lighting, and an anti-reflective coating to minimize glare. This combination delivers a brilliant and comfortable viewing experience, ideal for creative work, consuming multimedia, or reading.

For photography and video conferencing, the iPad Air 5th Gen is equipped with a 12MP Wide back camera ($f/1.8$ aperture) that can capture stunning photos and record 4K videos. The 12MP Ultra Wide front camera ($f/2.4$ aperture with a 122° field of view) features Apple’s intelligent Center Stage technology, which automatically keeps you centered in the frame during video calls, enhancing virtual meetings and personal connections. Security is conveniently handled by Touch ID, integrated into the top button, providing fast and secure authentication for unlocking the device and making purchases. The iPad Air is compatible with the 2nd Generation Apple Pencil for precise drawing and note-taking, and Apple’s Magic Keyboard or Smart Keyboard Folio for a more ergonomic typing experience (accessories sold separately).
