As the fifth release in the iPad lineup, many reviewers are noting that this is the best tablet to date. Nate Lanxon to Wired UK thinks that it "feels like a milestone" and Jay Yarow of Business Insider said the iPad Air is "the best iPad Apple has ever made.
Fast performance; High-quality design; MIMO support; Beautiful display; Plenty of model options
Price; Lack of Touch ID; Mediocre camera
For a company that obsesses over making devices thinner and lighter, it must have been torture for Apple to spend nearly three years making a series of iPads that were better than their predecessors, but not smaller. Now it has.
Ten hours of battery life; twice as fast as fourth-generation iPad; light and thin
Still too big for long-term one-handed use; no Touch ID
The iPad Air is Apple `s offering for those who want a tablet to get things done -- creating content rather than just consuming it. The changes incorporated in this fifth-generation model are designed to make it more appealing to this group: it`s faster but also more portable, with the same...
Smaller and lighter than predecessors; Significantly faster than earlier iPads; Beautiful display; Long battery life
Barely adequate RAM; Non-standard data/power port; No memory card slot; No active touchscreen
The iPad Air is undoubtedly the best iPad that Apple has produced yet, and is by far the most comfortable full-sized tablet we've used.
Much thinner and lighter than before; great screen; slight improvement in performance; great battery life
Cameras are still disapointing; very few 64-bit optimised apps; Nothing
Apple's full-sized iPad may have a brand new name, but the company's fifth iteration is all about refinement. The iPad Air is thinner, lighter and smaller than the previous model, but still manages to retain the same 9.7in screen and ten hour battery life.
Stunningly thin and light; Excellent performance; Great battery life
Increased price; Speakers easily muffled; Reflective screen
Ever since the iPad was first launched, Microsoft and other PC manufacturers have dismissed it as a little more than a toy for entertainment, arguing that it simply isn't capable of running productivity software such as Microsoft Office.
It is impossible for a first time Apple user to review this tablet without also reviewing the Apple's operating system for tablets as a whole, so if you just want to know how this compares to other Apple tablets, maybe skip this review. Otherwise let me briefly tell you about Ipad Air.
Reliability; low weight; high performance; great graphics
An array of insane Apple operating design choices
The iPad was always a slim tablet, but it started gaining a bit of weight in 2012. The addition of the Retina Display meant that Apple could not reduce or maintain the same weight as the iPad 2.
With its 1-pound weight and slimmed-down design, the iPad Air marks the biggest leap forward for Apple's trend-making slate since the Retina display. It's rightly the standard by which all other tablets will, and should, be judged.
Slim; lightweight design; Super-sharp; bright screen; Long; all-day battery life; Demonstrably improved performance
Battery takes a while to recharge; Speaker placement isn't ideal
