The Good Exceptional display. Much faster graphics performance; 1GB RAM. 4G and fast 3G without battery life hits. Finally viable rear camera. iOS 5.1 still tops in tablet software for now. 1080p video recording. iPhoto (optional) and a strong app ecosystem. Price is right. Voice dictation.

Thicker and heavier; No real gain to main CPU performance; Signficantly longer charging time; 16GB a tight fit for growing apps; Anemic front camera; No Siri (yet)

The new iPad 3 is an improved version of the best tablet on the market, which makes the new iPad our number 1 slate by default. We'll see more true quadcore tablets from Apple's rivals before 2013, and they might boast some snazzier features too, but what they won't have is the might of the App...

Stunning screen; Best app and AV stores; Superb interface

Not a huge leap from iPad 2; Camera still awkward to use

The new Apple iPad may resemble its precursor the iPad2, but with its stunning features the latter does appear out-dated. Noticeable amongst the many upgrades is the retina display, improved UI, amazing multi-touch use, better camera and some solid hardware boost to the quadcore GPU.

A fluid os, powerful processor, sensible interface, millions of apps, these are some of many attributes which set aside an ipad mini from rest of the mini tabs in the market. So if you want a really portable tab which looks and feels awesome, go for ipad mini(personally i like black).

At such reduced prices from Flipkart, it is an absolute steal of a deal. Carries the standard one-year warranty with itself. Totally recommended.

Love our ipad. So glad I went with the bigger size too. It's a little slow but fine for us since we don't do gaming. Haven't had any problems at all with it.

Now the wait is over and the dust has settled, we take a closer look at the latest incarnation of Apple's iPad … So, no iPad 3. No iPad HD – in name, at least. Just a plain old, simple, ‘new' iPad .

I would definitely recommend the upgrade, even if you have an iPad 2, the difference in quality is immediately visible the moment you start using the new iPad. The tablet itself is comfortable to use and not too heavy.

Excellent screen; Snappy performance; Unmatched gaming experience; Simple UI; Great sound quality; Impressive battery life

Overheating issues; No mass storage mode; Lacks standard USB port; Can't share files over Bluetooth; Can't be charged when in use

I did check reviews on reconditioned iPads and concluded they are a good buy. iPad was in a new box with charger lead and iPad looked brand new no scratches or flaws at all. Is working well so far and no concerns. Would recommend.
