The Anticipation is Over: iPad Air M2 (2024) Officially in Indonesia!
Honestly, I was really looking forward to talking about the biggest news in the tablet world, which is the latest generation iPad Air M2 that has finally launched in Indonesia! Along with the super-powerful iPad Pro (2024), this iPad Air really piqued my curiosity, and I immediately tried it as soon as I had the chance.
As of December 2024, all the information I’m sharing is still very valid, so you don’t have to worry about missing out on the news.
Blazing Fast Performance Thanks to the M2 Chip: A Huge Difference from the M1!
Okay, let’s get straight to the heart of this iPad Air M2: its M2 chipset! It’s insane, this is a real game changer. I, who usually use an iPad with an M1, already felt satisfied, but when I tried the M2, the difference was really noticeable, guys. Apple itself claims a performance increase of up to 50% compared to the M1, and from my experience, it’s not just a marketing figure. For playing heavy games, editing 4K videos, or multitasking with many applications at once, this iPad Air M2 is truly lag-free. The transitions are super smooth, applications open quickly, and for design or illustration work, the screen’s response is instant. Seriously, this drastically increases productivity!
Which Size to Choose? 11-inch or 13-inch Liquid Retina?
The most exciting thing about this generation of iPad Air is the size options! Now there are two options: the 11-inch and the 13-inch. Previously, there was only one size. Now, this is very important for those of you who have different preferences. I personally have tried both, and each has its advantages:
- 11-inch Model: With a resolution of 1640 x 2360 pixels and a peak brightness of 500 nits, this is perfect for those of you who need maximum portability. It’s light to carry around, comfortable for reading e-books, or doing tasks in a cafe. The screen is still sharp and the colors really pop.
- 13-inch Model: If you need a wider canvas for creative work, watching movies, or split-screen multitasking, the 13-inch is the answer! It has a resolution of 2732 x 2048 pixels with a peak brightness of 600 nits. The visual experience is more immersive and the details are more visible. Suitable for digital artists or those who like to binge-watch series.
Both still use the “Liquid Retina Display” IPS panel, so the color quality and clarity are no longer in doubt. It really makes your eyes comfortable looking at the screen for a long time!
Generous Storage & Even Better Cameras!
One of the upgrades that I’m really happy about is that the smallest internal storage capacity is now 128 GB! Previously, it was only 64 GB, which honestly, often made me dizzy when I wanted to install many games or store large files. Now, 128 GB is more than enough for most users, so you don’t have to think again about what applications to install. This really gives peace of mind to digital hoarders like me! 😂
For the camera, the iPad Air M2 is equipped with a 12MP front camera, which is now horizontal. Well, this is what I’ve been waiting for! For video calls or online meetings, this horizontal position is much more natural and comfortable, as if you are face-to-face. No more tilting the iPad. The rear camera is also 12MP, very useful for scanning documents or taking simple photos while traveling.
How Much Does the iPad Air M2 (2024) Cost in Indonesia?
Well, this is what you’ve been waiting for! The latest generation Apple iPad Air is priced from Rp 12 million in Indonesia. Of course, the price varies depending on the size and storage configuration you choose. This is a very worthwhile investment for a tablet with laptop-class performance and the premium features offered.
In my opinion, with all the improvements brought, especially the super-fast M2 chip, the choice of two screen sizes, and the larger initial storage, this iPad Air M2 is truly the most interesting tablet option in its class today. For those of you who are looking for a new tablet for work, study, gaming, or just entertainment, the iPad Air M2 could be the right answer. Don’t miss out, guys!
