Our pick for the best iPad is already on sale with a $150 discount
The 11-inch Apple iPad Air M3 was just rolled out a few months ago, but surprisingly, it's already part of Best Buy's iPad deals. The 128GB model, originally sold for $599, is on sale for only $449, which is an excellent price for this amazing tablet. This offer is probably already drawing a lot of attention from shoppers though, so you need to act fast and complete your purchase before the $150 discount expires or the stocks up for sale sell out. Why you should buy the 11-inch Apple iPad Air M3 The Apple iPad Air M3, which we reviewed with a score of 4 stars out of 5 stars, has taken the top spot in our list of the best iPads. At the tablet's heart is the powerful M3 chip, which not only enables smooth performance, but also improves power efficiency for a battery that can last up to a full day without requiring a recharge. The 11-inch Liquid Retina display, meanwhile, is sharp and colorful, and its size is great for watching streaming shows and tasks like browsing and online shopping while maintaining portability, according to our guide on the best iPad screen size. If you're interested in trying out the capabilities of Apple Intelligence, the Apple iPad Air M3 is a fantastic choice as it's built to maximize the technology. The tablet is also a nice laptop alternative if you invest in the Magic Keyboard, and it's compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil USB-C if you're planning to draw or take down notes with the Apple iPad Air M3. For security, the device is protected by Apple's Touch ID fingerprint recognition system, which can be used to sign in apps and make payments with Apple Pay. Apple deals are always in high demand, and we don't expect anything different with Best Buy's offer for the 11-inch Apple iPad Air M3. You can currently get the tablet's 128GB model for just $449, following a $150 discount on its sticker price of $599, but probably for not much longer. If you don't want to miss this chance to enjoy huge savings when buying the relatively new 11-inch Apple iPad Air M3, you should push forward with your transaction for it as soon as possible.

Akie Iwai of Japan shoots 64 in Portland to take lead in bid for first LPGA Tour title
PORTLAND, Ore. — Akie Iwai of Japan eagled the fifth hole and birdied the other three par 5s at Columbia Edgewater, shooting an 8-under 64 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead in The Standard Portland Classic. Iwai is trying to join twin sister Chisato as an LPGA Tour winner this year after second-place finishes in Thailand in February and Los Angeles in April. She put on a ball-striking exhibition Saturday in mostly calm conditions on the tree-lined course, hitting to 3 feet to set up the eagle and twice to a foot for birdie — the last on the par-4 18th to get to 18-under 198. 'My style, my golf style, is aggressive,' she said. 'That's why no change this week. Also, aim to the pin — boom! boom! Every shot, every hole. That's it.' Grace Kim of Australia was second after a 67. She holed a 156-yard shot for eagle from the left rough on the par-4 17th. 'I was trying to see if I could get a drop,' Kim said. 'I wasn't entirely over the sprinkler-head boxes so you knew I just had to hit it. Leaked right again. I was like, `Oh, please get through the rough.' Somehow went in the hole, so I guess a little bit of luck in there.' Linn Grant was 14 under after a 65. The Swede won the 2023 Dana Open for her lone LPGA Tour title. 'Tried to go out and just be, I wouldn't say happy, but just accepting of whatever today would bring,' Grant said. 'I think I played very mature and just had a lot of fun.' Gurleen Kaur had a 70 to get to 13 under, and Aditi Ashok (65) was another stroke back with Gina Kim (67). Chisato Iwai — the winner in Mexico at Mayakoba in May — was in the group at 11 under after a 66. She also eagled the fifth hole. Haeran Ryu, at No. 9 in the world one of only two top-10 players in the field, also was 11 under. She had a hole-in-one on the 177-yard 16th in a 67. Akie Iwai dropped a stroke on the par-3 second, then played a five-hole stretch in 5 under. She hit her second shot to 3 feet to set up the eagle, then hit to a foot on the par-4 sixth. On the back nine, she birdied three of the first four holes, two of them par 5s, then hit a 152-yard shot to a foot on 18. Two-time champion Brooke Henderson, a stroke back after an opening 65, followed a second-round 73 with a 68 to get to 10 under. The Canadian star is winless since January 2023. Second-round leader Jeongeun Lee5 also was 10 under. She shot 74. Amateur Kiara Romero was 8 under after a 72. The University of Oregon star won the 2023 U.S. Girls' Junior and 2025 Big Ten title. The tournament is the longest continuous event on the LPGA Tour except for the majors, dating to 1972. ___ AP golf:

49ers suffer 3 more injuries on offense in preseason win over Raiders
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers might have celebrated Saturday's 22-19 preseason win over the Las Vegas Raiders as if it were a playoff game, rushing Jake Moody after his 59-yard field goal sailed through the uprights as time expired, but they head back to the Bay Area lamenting a few more injuries. The 49ers lost starting right guard Dominick Puni and two other offensive players in the first half. Puni left with a knee injury on the game's first drive while blocking for a field goal, and coach Kyle Shanahan said the second-year pro will miss 'a few weeks.' Shortly after Puni's exit, backup running back and special teams player Patrick Taylor Jr. left with a shoulder injury. Next, it was rookie running back Corey Kiner, who is battling for a roster spot. Kiner replaced Taylor but left with an ankle injury after an 19-yard carry. Kiner was carted off the field. Shanahan said Taylor dislocated his shoulder and Kiner suffered what was 'most likely a high ankle' sprain, and both are expected to miss a couple of weeks. 'I mean, (we'll) just deal with it,' Shanahan said. 'Hopefully, we get a bunch of guys back here and we don't lose anyone for the year or anything like that. We got pretty good luck on defense and special teams today, so that was good. 'But losing those three guys on offense was tough. But they won't be off forever, so hopefully they'll heal fast.' The 49ers already had more than 20 players injured, including a banged-up group of wide receivers. Star running back Christian McCaffrey has looked healthy this summer after missing most of last season with Achilles tendinitis and a knee injury. But four of his backups — including Jordan James (finger) and Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) — are now injured. 'We lost our two and three a couple weeks ago, and then the next guys up, we lost them today, but all those guys will be back,' Shanahan said. 'We've been through that before. You can never have too many backs. We got a number of them, and we haven't lost anyone for the year yet.' ___ AP NFL:
