Apple Inc. known for its sleek looks and distinctive monolithic design,has rolled out yet another milestone in its iPad range i.e. the iPad Air.Hailed as the slimmest and lightest Apple,the built is unbelievably solid due the aluminum body.Resembling its younger sibling( iPad Mini),Air is just 1.9in larger than Mini.Air is quite thin at just 7.5mm however; the Sony Xperia Tablet Z remains the thinnest at a ridiculous 6.9mm.
On the Outside
iPad Air shines a 9.7in display,ofcourse it is Apple 's much hyped Retina Display,with a 2048x1536 resolution and over 3.1 million pixels.The dimensions are 240 x 169.5 x 7.5 mm and it weighs 469g.
Camera and Video
Air comes with a 5MP main camera,decent yet unsatisfying.Capable of 1080p recording serves decent purpose of recording regular vidoes.The front camera is 1.2MP,does a decent job for video calls and Skype.But definitely not for clicking selfies.....LOL.
On the Inside
Air has the A7 chip,64-bit core and M7 motion coprocessor, which is IMPRESSIVE.Gaming,computing or processing ,anything is easy on this tablet machine.
Battery and Power
Air houses a power house of 32.4Wh Li-Ion battery,capable of 10hrs of rigorous usage of WiFi,Gaming and voice calls.The tablet also has some amazing standby time so when not in use, you
can literally go days without having to charge it. This is something
Android tablets simply cannot offer,definitely a win for Apple.
Air also has an option of an attractive cover case,which not only protects the device but can be used to mount the device at an angle suitable for viewing videos or hands free operation.
Considering the looks of iPad Air and its distinctive style,it might prove to be a sucess,but at the same it has competition from its younger and smaller sibling,iPad Mini which though might be smaller but it is much cheaper than Air.So just extra 1.9in and slimmer depth might not be sufficient enough to explain the extra bucks a consumer needs to pay for iPad Air.So the final word is,this tablet might be a collector souvenir or a choice for an hardcore apple enthusiast,but for a a moderate fan of Apple ,buying Mini would be practical as well as economical.
