The iPad Air is still one of our favourite tablets. It takes everything that the old iPad 4 did and does it better, in a smaller case. However, it's the smaller size that really starts to confuse matters.

In many respects a triumph, the iPad Air also introduces compromises to hit the low-weight/thin-case targets. Sound quality through the new stereo speaker has deteriorated, and although a matter of taste we found the iPad mini-style case loses the premium feel of preceding generations of iPad.

At first glance, the Apple iPad Air 2 is closer to a refresh than a dramatic upgrade compared to its predecessor. From the outside, the tablet computer features the same slim design and aluminum backing used on the first iPad Air.

The Air 2 still relies on the same Retina display used in past iPads

the clarity of the iPad is much better than my current computer and i have found the battery life better than i expected. It is also a lot quicker to use.

It wasn't intuitively obvious how to set it up but with my son's help via Skype I was up and running and having fun. He showed me all kind of neat things to do. I'm sure the user guide would have gotten me there but the hour spent with my son "teaching" me was priceless.

My girls haven't stopped using is since they each got one. HHGregg was very educated in the product that I needed to purchase to kee my girls in tact with the ever changing technical world. The extended warranty program was a smart purchase.

The best tablet just got A LOT better. The iPad Air is utterly fantastic and is easily the best device of its kind on market right now. Nothing else compares. If you want a tablet get this thing right now! You will not regret it.

Amazing lightweight design; great display; brilliant battery; iLife is a big USP – especially iMovie; iPhoto and Garage Band; insane processing power; more dedicated tablets apps than any other tablet platform; global LTE support

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, basically

I am still learning all the ins and outs of my I Pad. I am very pleased with all the extras that came with it. I love shopping on HSN.

A great gadget,Apple IpadAir 2,loads of apps and a lovely screen.Easy to use!

Obviously iPad Air needs no compliments. It is a product of envy for all. The finish and sleekness makes it different from other products. That's what Apple is all about. Why not pay a premium for it then?
