  • The first thing you'll notice about Apple's latest tablet is that it's extremely thin. It measures a svelte 7.5mm fat and weighs just a single pound (469g). It's not as thin as the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, but it's lighter, and you won't even notice the millimetre difference. Last year's iPad mini won rave reviews with its slim design and reduced bezels, but this full-sized iPad steals its crown. Th
  • Apple's put a lot of effort into iOS 7 for its latest range of iPhones, but it seems like an afterthought on the iPad. If you're used to using iOS, you'll be right at home, but there are a few niggles on the larger-screen version that make it feel unfinished. Some design elements feel like they don't scale right and aren’t suited to a tablet, and multitasking is still not as good as on rival slat
  • We've got to hand it to Apple. The Air is the best iPad yet: not only is it super speedy, it looks gorgeous and it's extremely light to hold. Apple's championing the Air with the tagline 'the power of lightness', and we have to agree. It's a powerful t...

  • Crisper picture with brighter whites and better blacks, More open, dynamic and subtler sound, Faster and more powerful, Beautiful build, Great selection of apps, Good battery life
  • Camera's colours aren't as natural as before, Slimmer bezel means more thumbs on screen
  • The 10in tablet market is sparsely populated, with Apple having a comfortable dominance over similar-sized tablets from the likes of Samsung and Google. It's biggest rival, then, is the iPad Mini.Even lighter, smaller and more portable, and now with a Ret...

  • Abstract:  Ever since the iPad was first launched, Microsoft and other PC manufacturers have dismissed it as a little more than a toy for entertainment, arguing that it simply isn’t capable of running productivity software such as Microsoft Office. Despite this – an...

  • Abstract:  Apple's iPad Air is here, complete with a new moniker, a new design and 64-bit processor, the same A7 chip that debuted in the iPhone 5S . Apple is clearly hoping that this refreshed design, along with the promise of more processing power, will help enti...

  • The iPad Air has made the best tablet on the market even better. It looks great, is fast and light and, best of all, is still so simple to use.Our only criticism of the iPad Air is the battery - it could last a little longer and, at £399 for the basic mod...
