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 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 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.
