Design
The design is the star of Apple’s iPad Air refresh this time around;
the 9.7-inch Apple tablet has had the same form factor for two
generations now, and that one actually made the design worse – it got
heavier, and it got thicker. This new iPad mini-inspired look sheds both
size and weight, giving the iPad Air a 43 percent smaller bezel, a 20
percent thinner case, and making it 28 percent lighter, at just one
pound.
Performance
The iPad Air may be a lightweight device physically, but it’s a
heavyweight when it comes to performance. Benchmarks tell only one side
of the story, and the one that most users will be more interested in is
around how the tablet work under normal, everyday usage conditions. Put
simply, Apple’s latest iPad soars.
Bottom Line
The iPad Air is a huge improvement over the iPad 4th-gen, or the iPad
2, pictured in the gallery. Its form factor is the best currently
available for a 10-inch tablet, and it provides a great blend of
portability and usability that leans towards the media device end of the
spectrum.
