The editors liked
Stunningly thin and light
Excellent performance
Great battery life
Ten hours of battery life
Twice as fast as fourth-generation iPad
Light and thin
The iPad Air delivers solid performance and battery life in an attractive and impossibly thin-and-light package. The front-facing camera delivers excellent FaceTime capabilities and the Retina Display is top-notch
Sleek design
Powerful innards
Great suite of free apps
More compact
More powerful but keeps its 9.7 inch screen
The editors didn't like
Increased price
Speakers easily muffled
Reflective screen
Still too big for long-term one-handed use
No Touch ID
From $598 ($749 for Wi-Fi & Cellular)
No Touch ID fingerprint scanner
Meaning you'll have to type in a passcode with every unlock and a password with every purchase
Abstract: Clearly, this wasn't ideal but an apparent limitation of the tech available. The new iPad Air solved those issues with the new A7 chip, leading to a significantly reduced battery capacity needed to last the ten-hours and making the Air the lightest iPad s...

Abstract: I had some hands-on time with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S, and an iPad Air to hand. Putting the two head to head seemed like the thing to do.Apologies for the grainy video at the start. It turns out that slightly swanky hotel rooms with “mood” lighting aren'...
Abstract: Samsung has unwrapped a new line of Android tablets, the Galaxy Tab S, which the South Korean giant is touting as the “best tablet that it has ever made” and is set to compete directly with Apple's iPad.The Galaxy Tab S will arrive in two different flavou...
Sleek design, Powerful innards, Great suite of free apps
No TouchID, Camera features lacking, 16GB version is too small
Make no mistake - Apple has finally nailed the tablet with a great combination of specs, power and a decent OS. It's a joy to hold the iPad Air. From the clever construction to the fast processor to the improved user interface, Apple has found an answer ...

Abstract: Whether you like or loathe the company, it's hard to dispute that Apple is still the king when it comes to tablets, with its market share hovering around the 30% mark just before the release of these new models. With the most mature tablet ecosystem and a...

Abstract: In terms of design the iPad Air is basically an overgrown iPad mini. It seems the little iPad that Steve Jobs said we didn't need is now driving the design of its big brother. The result is an engineering marvel; a full-sized 9.7-inch iPad which you can e...

Those firmly entrenched in the Android/Windows tablet camps are unlikely to care much about the iPad Air, but what about those already invested in an iPad?I'd say, much like with iPhones, that it's a generational matter. If you're bumping up from a first...
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, from $598 ($749 for Wi-Fi & Cellular)
The iPad was already the best large tablet out there. If it had any deficiencies, it was really in terms of weight and size, and that's where the iPad Air shines.It's still got a battery that will last for 10 hours, and now it's twice as fast as it was be...

If you've ever been put off owning a big tablet because of the size, the iPad Air goes a long way to circumventing your concerns. It's lighter and easier to wield than ever, but still gives you the bright and beautiful 9.7-inch screen that defines this pr...
