With a new design based on the successful iPad Mini, Apple have relaunched their tablet
computer range with the iPad Air. The result is a stunning piece of technology that is both a joy to
use and powerful enough for most of the tasks you’ll want to do on it.
Compared to older versions of the iPad, the Air is lighter and easier to handle. In terms of
performance, the Air is a great option. It comes with a fair number of free apps, which make it a
functional addition to your personal technology right out of the box. However, with these apps and
the HD quality of the device, the lower priced 16GB option isn’t worth buying. Instead, opt for the
much more useful 128GB device, which will allow you to fully take advantage of all the iPad Air has
to offer.
