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

Increased price
Speakers easily muffled
Reflective screen
Still too big for long-term one-handed use
No Touch ID

Apple's new iPad Air is an all around winner due to its strong performance, competitive features, and beautiful new redesign. While there are a few components that I think could have been upgraded or added, the iPad Air is still a top contender in the 201...
Incredibly lightweight with a superslim, redesigned form factor. A7 chip, in addition to helping provide an impressive 10plus hours of battery life, offers superb overall performance whether you're surfing the web or streaming media. 9.7inch, 2048 x 1536
