iPad Air 11-inch M4 256GB Wi-Fi is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 122,000, brand new and sealed with the M4 chip and 12GB of memory. Apple built this model around an 11-inch Liquid Retina screen with an anti-reflective coating, a 12MP rear camera that films 4K at 60 frames per second, and Wi-Fi 7 for fast home and office networks. The iPad Air 11-inch M4 in this version doubles the storage of the 128GB entry model, giving creative work space to grow. Our shop sits at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, in Nairobi CBD.
Designed for content creators, graphic designers and architects, the iPad Air 11-inch M4 handles photo edits, layered illustrations and short video cuts without a laptop. A wedding photographer in Kilimani or an Instagram creator in Westlands often runs out of space halfway through a shoot when files sit on a 128GB device. With 256GB, you keep a season of client folders, Procreate canvases and downloaded Netflix films on the iPad Air 11-inch M4 itself. Its USB-C port with DisplayPort output also lets you pitch work on a studio monitor or a boardroom screen.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that rarely explain storage trade-offs, Mascom International helps you choose the tier that matches your files rather than the biggest number. At Mascom International, we're seeing creatives pick the 256GB Wi-Fi model because studio and home fibre cover most of their working hours, so cellular adds cost they do not need. Every iPad Air 11-inch M4 we sell carries a 12-month warranty, with claims handled in Nairobi CBD. Come in and load a sample project before paying, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the iPad Air 11-inch M4
What is the iPad Air 11-inch M4 256GB Wi-Fi price in Kenya?
The iPad Air 11-inch M4 256GB Wi-Fi sells for KSh 122,000, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price includes a 20W USB-C adapter, a USB-C cable, our 12-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to any county. It sits KSh 15,000 above the 128GB Wi-Fi version at KSh 107,000. If you also want built-in mobile data, the 256GB Wi-Fi Plus Cellular model costs KSh 144,000, a gap of KSh 22,000.
Is the 256GB iPad Air 11-inch M4 worth KSh 15,000 more than the 128GB?
For creators and anyone keeping video offline, the extra KSh 15,000 for 256GB on the iPad Air 11-inch M4 is money well spent. Both versions share the M4 chip, 12GB of memory, screen, cameras and battery, so storage is the only difference. Doubling the space lifts 4K recording time from about 12 hours to about 25 hours at Apple's default settings. iPads have no memory card slot, so you cannot add space later. Students who stream rather than download can save the money and take the 128GB.
How many photos and videos fit on the iPad Air 11-inch M4 256GB?
The iPad Air 11-inch M4 256GB holds roughly 85,000 photos at about 3MB each, before iPadOS and apps claim their share. For video, plan on about 25 hours of 4K at 30 frames per second, or about 70 hours in 1080p, using Apple's default compression. In practice, a photographer can keep several client shoots, edited exports and a reference library on the device at once. Finished jobs then move to an external USB-C drive or Google Drive to free space for the next booking.
Can the iPad Air 11-inch M4 handle Procreate, LumaFusion and Lightroom?
Yes, the iPad Air 11-inch M4 runs Procreate, LumaFusion and Adobe Lightroom comfortably, thanks to its 8-core M4 processor, 9-core graphics and 12GB of memory. Illustrators can stack many layers on large canvases, and editors can cut multi-track 4K timelines for YouTube or client reels. Final Cut Pro for iPad and DaVinci Resolve also install from the App Store. For long exports, keep the iPad plugged into its 20W adapter. Customers across Nairobi tell us they sketch client concepts here, then finish files on a desktop.
Can I connect the iPad Air 11-inch M4 to an external monitor or projector?
Yes, the iPad Air 11-inch M4 has a USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 port with DisplayPort output, so it drives an external monitor, TV or projector with the right cable or adapter. Stage Manager lets you arrange app windows on that second screen, which suits editing on a bigger desk monitor. It also lets you show a design portfolio on a client's boardroom display. The same port moves files to and from external SSDs at USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds of up to 10Gbps. Display cables and adapters are sold separately.
Does Wi-Fi 7 on the iPad Air 11-inch M4 matter with home fibre in Kenya?
Wi-Fi 7 on the iPad Air 11-inch M4 pays off when your router supports it, and the iPad still works with any older Wi-Fi 6, 5 or 4 router. On Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku or Faiba, your package speed sets the ceiling for downloads, not the iPad. Where the newer radio helps today is in busy apartment blocks in Kilimani or Upper Hill, where many networks crowd the airwaves. If you upgrade your router later, the iPad is ready without any change on your side.
Who should choose the iPad Air 11-inch M4 256GB Wi-Fi, and who should look elsewhere?
Choose the iPad Air 11-inch M4 256GB Wi-Fi if you are a designer, photographer, creator or architect who works from a studio, office or home with reliable Wi-Fi. It also suits anyone who downloads films for long flights or upcountry trips. Look elsewhere if you need data on the road without tethering; the 256GB Wi-Fi Plus Cellular version at KSh 144,000 adds an eSIM. If colour work demands an OLED panel with a faster refresh rate, the iPad Pro 11-inch M5 256GB Wi-Fi at KSh 158,000 fits better.
Can I use a keyboard with the iPad Air 11-inch M4 for long documents?
Yes, the iPad Air 11-inch M4 has a magnetic connector on its edge for the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air, sold separately, which draws power from the iPad and needs no pairing or charging. Any Bluetooth keyboard also connects, as do USB-C keyboards. With a trackpad attached, the cursor works much as it does on a laptop. Journalists and consultants use this setup for long reports in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, then fold the keyboard back to sketch or edit photos by touch.
Technical Specifications
Display and Screen Quality
- 11-inch Liquid Retina panel at 2360 by 1640 pixels gives accurate previews of photos and layouts before you send them to clients.
- Pixel density of about 264 per inch keeps fine illustration lines and small typography clear, even at close viewing distance.
- Typical brightness of 500 nits stays comfortable for editing indoors, whether in a studio, a shared workspace or a bright café.
- Anti-reflective coating cuts glare from overhead lights, so colours look closer to their true values while you edit.
- Apple Pencil Pro support adds squeeze and barrel-roll gestures, giving finer brush control in drawing and painting apps.
Processor and Graphics
- Apple M4 system-on-chip, meaning processor, graphics and memory on one chip, handles 4K editing and large RAW photos on battery.

- 9-core GPU renders filters, effects and 3D previews quickly in creative apps such as Procreate and LumaFusion.
- Stage Manager places several resizable app windows side by side on the iPad screen or on an external display.
- Ships with iPadOS 26 and qualifies for the iPadOS 27 upgrade, so new app features and security fixes keep arriving.
Memory and Storage
- 12GB of RAM, the working memory, holds a large Procreate canvas, Lightroom and a browser open together without reloads.
- 256GB of storage holds about 85,000 photos at roughly 3MB each, before iPadOS and apps take their part.
- Around 25 hours of 4K video at 30 frames per second fits, using Apple's default compression of about 170MB a minute.
- About 70 hours of 1080p footage fits too, enough for months of short social clips before you need to archive.
- No card slot is fitted; external SSDs and flash drives connect over USB-C and open directly in the Files app.
Camera and Video
- 12MP f/1.8 rear camera with dual-pixel autofocus captures sharp reference shots, product photos and site pictures for mood boards.
- Rear video records 4K at 24, 25, 30 or 60 frames per second, for either a cinematic look or smooth motion.
- Gyro-based stabilisation steadies handheld rear and front video, so walking shots and quick clips look less shaky.
- 12MP f/2.0 ultrawide front camera sits on the long landscape edge, giving a natural eye-line on client video calls.
- Front camera records 1080p at up to 60 frames per second, suited to talking-head content, tutorials and course videos.

- Bluetooth 6.0 gives steady wireless links to earbuds, keyboards, mice and other drawing accessories without any cables.

Package Contents
Inside the sealed box you will find the iPad Air 11-inch M4 256GB, a 20W USB-C power adapter and a USB-C cable for charging and file transfer. No Apple Pencil, keyboard, case or screen protector comes with it, so most creators add a pencil and a protective folio. Mascom International stocks cases and screen protectors, and our staff can advise on a matte protector if you draw daily and prefer more grip under the pencil tip.
