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
Abstract: Ipad Air är en av de lättaste pekdatorerna. Skärmen är litet mindre än konkurrenternas, men det märker man inte. Man njuter i stället av den enorma upplösningen och fina återgivningen av detaljer och färger. Ipaden reagerar så snabbt att man ......
Abstract: Det är mindre än fyra år sedan Apple släppte sin första iPad. Då var det inte många som förstod att pekdatorn skulle komma att ruska om hela datorvärlden. Medan pc-försäljningen sjunker med 15 procent per kvartal numera, är det många människor som knapp...

En säker vinnare tack vare testets obestritt bästa skärm i kombination med imponerande höga prestanda och marknadens klart största urval av appar
Minnet kan inte utökas, så man måste veta från början hur mycket lagringsutrymme man behöver. Och så kostar den en smärre förmögenhet
Trots låg vikt och en smalare och tunnare form känns Air gedigen och den upplevs definitivt som en lyxprodukt om man jämför med andra surfplattor som mest är gjorda av plast.Skärmen är testets obestridde segerherre och när överlägsen skärmkvalitet kombine...
Abstract: Årets iPad-event innehöll inte bara den efterlängtade uppdateringen av iPad mini, som nu äntligen begåvats med en retina-skärm och en processor värd namnet (även om den är aningen långsammare än A7-processorn i iPad Air), utan Tim Cook och hans medarbetar...
Abstract: Alla tre verkar vara överens om att årets iPad-generation utan tvekan är den största lilla förändring som gjorts sedan iPad lanserades, men inte ens det räcker för alla våra testare.Nya iPad Air har en 9,7-tumsskärm precis som de fyra tidigare generatione...
Med Ipad Air testad och fotograferad återstår att summera våra resultat. Den korta versionen är att det här är en riktigt bra surfplatta som befinner sig i en klass för sig. Apples 9,7-tums Ipad var tidigare en rejäl pjäs att ta med sig. Numera känns den...
Abstract: Tre år har passerat sedan den första modellen av iPad lanserades, och under tiden har Apple hunnit avverka fyra tiotumsmodeller av sin storsäljande platta. Denna femte utgåva, iPad Air, framstår vid en hastig anblick som en närmast identisk efterföljare t...
