My ancient ipad wouldn't work with the reader that I needed to use for online books for school. The new one works great. Apps that I use for online newspapers also work much better. Overall, it was a vast improvement.

good price/value; advanced technologically; pleasure for the youngsters.

The Apple iPad (2017) may not set off any fireworks, operating on a ‘more of the same, but better' ethos – but what it does, it does very well indeed.

Fast; smooth performance; Bright screen and solid blacks; Rich colours; crisp detail; Beautiful design; Good starting price

Screen is rather reflective; No brand new features

Apple's big iPad problem is that it can't convince people to upgrade , because an iPad is just a screen you hold in your hands that runs some apps that do some stuff. For users, that's wonderful. If you already have an iPad you like, you don't need a new one.

The price finally feels right; The battery lasts forever; It does all the iPad things, and does them well

No Pencil support, no Smart Connector; Two speakers don't sound as good as four speakers; The screen's not as eye-popping as other iPads

Apple's new 9.7-inch 2017 iPad doesn't come with a lot of surprises except for one, the $329 price tag Apple gave the 32GB model. It now competes with other budget tablets including the company's own

A review of the 2017 9.7in iPad to find out if it's a good upgrade for anyone still using an older iPad.

This is the base model of course, so if you want 128GB rather than 32GB of storage, you'll have to pay £429.

Apple's newest iPad is a budget model that samples the best parts from past hits. We've got the original iPad Air's body stuffed with the iPhone 6s's A9 chipset and paired with a brighter version of the iPad Air 2's display. We have no complaints about performance, and battery life is excellent.

Purchased my iPad (2017) at local store in Utah and am having a blast using it. Wife wanted me to get one first, next we get hers. Hmm... maybe if I can talk her into taking mine I can get the model with cellular.

Wonderful resolution/clear sound/lightweight/it's an iPad

could use more power/cellular not included at $329(wish it was)

The 2017 iPad's new, aggressive pricing is laser-guided to take down premium-priced Android equivalents. That, plus its impressive battery life and infinite well-curated apps, make it today's best-value tablet.

Newly competitive price for its screen size; Solid construction; Strong app ecosystem; Satisfying battery life

Incrementally thicker than predecessor; Slow charging
