Apple iPad (2017) review

Read what you like into Apple’s branding, but with this latest iPad being short of any modifier (Air! Mini! Pro! Just Buy It Already!), it feels like Apple’s saying this is the iPad for almost everyone. If you want something smaller, buy a mini, and if you need a Pencil, grab a Pro, otherwise just get this iPad. Is it the best iPad? No. That accolade still rightly belongs to the Pro. And occasionally (again: that reflective screen), Apple should perhaps have reconsidered some of its cost-cutting decisions. On the whole, though, it’s hard to grumble at the new iPad’s marriage of form factor, power, app ecosystem, and price. If you’ve an iPad Air or earlier, this is a strong upgrade; if you’re new to tablets, you won’t find anything better for the price. Buy the new iPad here from Apple

It's hard not to compare this fifth-generation iPad to the tablets that came before it as it's essentially a hodgepodge of hardware and components Apple already had lying around with the latest iOS software slapped on top. But a Frankenstein's monster this is not.

Plenty of space & power at a great price

Replaced my iPad gen 4 model with this new model, mostly because I wanted more storage space for my apps, games, photos, videos, etc. 128gb is the way to go...plenty of space and room to do it all! ... nad the A9 chip in this puppy races with fast responses to any demands..

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.

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

New 2017 iPad Review: Apple Offers a Budget Tablet

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

Apple iPad (2017)

This feels very much like a bare-bones iPad update. It's Apple simply doing a bit of housekeeping: dropping the ‘Air' label, fitting in a fresh engine and streamlining a well-established product.

excellent present

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

New iPad

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.
