The first thing you'll notice about Apple's latest tablet is that it's extremely thin. It measures a svelte 7.5mm fat and weighs just a single pound (469g). It's not as thin as the Sony Xperia Tablet Z
But it's lighter
And you won't even notice the millimetre difference. Last year's iPad mini won rave reviews with its slim design and reduced bezels
But this full-sized iPad steals its crown. Th

The editors didn't like
IPad Air may not change day-to-day experience enough to justify upgrading from iPad 4 (earlier generations of iPad are a different matter)
No TouchID
Camera's colours aren't as natural as before
Slimmer bezel means more thumbs on screen
IPad Air is most expensive of the iPads and won't fit in a pocket
Watching films on iPad mini is less of a cinematic experience
Price
Not cheap
Good ol’ iTunes
Still no memory card slot
No slo-mo video recording
No 8MP rear camera upgrade
Same camera as iPad 4
No 802.11 ac
Can't realise 64-bit speed yet
Camera is unchanged
Could be even more innovative
Cameras are still poor
Not many 64-bit optimised apps
No way of expanding onboard storage
Proprietary port
No noticeable upgrades to the front or rear cameras
Apple's put a lot of effort into iOS 7 for its latest range of iPhones
But it seems like an afterthought on the iPad. If you're used to using iOS
You'll be right at home
But there are a few niggles on the larger-screen version that make it feel unfinished. Some design elements feel like they don't scale right and aren’t suited to a tablet
And multitasking is still not as good as on rival slat
Still no expandable storage
No Touch ID
Expensive
Lack of ports
Adapters are pricey
IOS walled garden may frustrate you
Not a complete laptop replacement
More capacious versions are expensive
Without a case the back panel scuffs up pretty easily and lower storage variants (16GB) are essentially worthless – iLife
Retina-enabled apps
And big games will fill it up in no time at all. If you're getting an iPad
Always go big –– 32GB and up
Basic
IPad Air's extra speed not obvious in general use
Screen feels slightly plasticky because of 'flex'
Will start to feel slower as time passes and more demanding apps are released
Speakers are a step down from iPad 4
Camera quality has not improved
Not as comfortable as iPad Mini
Relatively expensive
Storage comes at a premium
There are still improvements that can be made to the camera
Or to bring iPhone technology to the iPad
But nothing that hinders this incarnation competitively in any way
Overall, the Apple iPad Air is a significant tablet upgrade in terms of both design as well as performance. It is now powerful enough to do some serious work and play some really beautiful games and apps. Unfortunately, the increase in price may make it a...

Awesome.So what's our verdict? Well it really is the best tablet in the market today. There's just no point of comparison anymore for Android tablets and the iPad. Maybe in time when Google gets to perfect Android for tablets and Google Play gets more qua...

So does it live up its namesake? To some extent, yes. However, it's not yet a game changer like the original MacBook Air. Perhaps it has something to do with its timeliness of arrival and Sony's engineering prowess that would have otherwise made the iPad...
Overall, the Apple iPad Air easily beats the previous generation Apple iPad 4, both in terms of performance as well as design. Unlike the Apple iPhone 5S, which is a nearly identical smartphone with the Apple iPhone 5, the iPad Air is an almost completely...
Thinner and lighter design, Good handling, Excellent performance, Supersmooth iOS 7 and new iLife and iWorks apps user experience, Lots of potential from 64bit A7 processor and M7 motion coprocessor
Not a game changer (yet), Premium price
The iPad Air comes with the same 5-megapixel rear camera sensor with f/2.4 aperture, five-element lens, backside illumination and a 1.2-megapixel FaceTime HD front-facing camera as the iPad 4. For a gauge of its image quality, do check out our iPad 4 revi...

Apple made a wonderful decision making the Apple iPad Air look and feel more like the Apple iPad mini. The iPad Air is a much better, thinner and lighter device than it was before, but it is still a larger and heavier tablet compared to the Apple iPad min...
