Apple ipad air- review

The air is also the lightest Tab on the market at 1.05 lbs being a third lighter than it's closest weight competitor. The air is the perfect size for a tablet (9.4 x 6.6 x 0.29), big enough to watch but light and thin enough to be used without wrist strain.


Macbook air redefined laptops being the first ultrabook, I think it's a safe guess that the ipad air will redifine tablets.

The Air's 9.7 inch screen screams class with a 2048 x 1536 resolution and a 264 ppi.
The tashiba excite pro has more at 2560 x 1600 and a 300 ppi but it lacks the explosion of color of the Air.


Performance of the air  with the A7 installed the air is one of the fastest tabletsbeating every tablet at java, 3d, loading, closing apps and landscape orientation.  Because of this performance the air overheats after about 34min (doesn't slow it down but makes your palms and fingers sweaty.

The keyboard has not changed at all but it's still just as comfortable as other Ios devices, it would be a massive improvement if apple implemented finger swipe but it's good for now.

The speakers lack bass, I wish that the speakers were in the middle of the tablet rather than the right but it's fine unless you're watching a movie otherwise they are loud, accurate and clear.

The 5-MP rear camera is good but not great, details are important and although the camera pics up color well it lacks overall detail, the front camera doesn't have this problem but little specs of color windup in darker areas. The microphones work very well zoning in on conversation as opposed to ambiance.  The features you will miss will be the burst mode, panorama and flash.

The ipad air may be worth it's price but it's up to you if you want to spend 100 dollars more for a larger screen and longer battery life but if you do you will lose the stylus and remote that most cheaper tablets offer.
