At an MRP ranging from Rs. 29,500 for the 16 GB model, to 46,900 for the 64 GB model with 3G support, the iPad 2 is only slightly costlier than its predecessor, but more expensive than any other tablet on the market.

Smooth interface; Speedy performance; Healthy app ecosystem

Pricey; Unsatisfactory HD upscaling

Product Apple Ipad 2 Website http://www.apple.com/uk/ipad/ Specifications 1GHz dual-core A5 processor, 512MB RAM, from 16GB to 64GB storage, 9.7-inch 1024x768 display, IOS 4.3, 241.2x185.7x8.8mm, 613g.

Thin and light; reliable operating system; same battery life as previous Ipad but better performance

Still no support for Flash; no USB or HDMI; Poor cameras

The iPad mini is a fantastic tablet and our favourite iPad, though falls short in some key areas.

Premium look and feel Incredibly thin and light The iOS app selection is huge Great battery life

Sub-par screen sharpness Mediocre camera 4:3 aspect ration not suited to movies Too wide

Everybody wishes the iPad 2 had a higher-resolution display like the iPhone 4, but Apple didn't even have to go there yet.

Skinnier profile shows mercy to your joints; Big performance boost makes apps, games and web browsing more zippy.

Mediocre cameras make still photos look slimy; Thinner body makes physical buttons on the side a little harder to press

Each and every year, Apple refreshes their tablet line-up with new hardware and new features. The full sized iPad got faster, lighter, slimmer and even received a new name ( iPad Air ), while the second-generation mini is more impressive than ever, thanks to a major update.

Very portable, with a well built, well designed body; Retina display is very crisp, powered by fast, significantly upgraded hardware; iOS has by far the best selection of tablet apps going around

Pricey, especially for storage upgrades and the cellular model; Display color gamut is lacking

It has the same RAM issue as the iPad Air, but it's still a stand-out tablet.

I absolutely love this tablet, superb clear screen and not too heavy. Absolutely brilliant for reading PDF's Ebooks or Kindle books. Wifi is very good. The only downside is the crappy Itunes software which is simply pants.

The iPad 2 builds on the success of the original iPad. It's slightly thinner and smaller, while also including two cameras - one on the front for video calls and the other one on the back that can take 720p HD videos at 300 fps.

Verizon 4G LTE network is incredibly fast; 32GB microSD card included; Integrated kickstand works in portrait and landscape

Battery life is among the worst weve ever seen; No 4G LTE power toggle option; Kickstand in landscape orientation blocks microUSB port

When we first clutched last year's Apple iPad Mini , we were instantly sold. The compact and featherlight body was a dream compared with the 4th-generation iPad 's bulky, heavy build, making it friendly on our puny biceps.

Beautifully crisp and responsive screen; Impressive performance; Still comfortably slim and light

My wife has had her iPad (generation 1) since they first came out. It was getting a bit long in the tooth and didn't run some applications very well. Our son had gotten the iPad mini for his birthday and she liked the size.

Extreemly portable; retina display; latest processor

Some things can look tiny
