Comparison review
IPad Air has a general score of 77.9, which is a lot better than the Xiaomi MiPad's 64.4 general score.

IPad Air works with iOS 8.x OS, while Xiaomi MiPad has Android OS.
IPad Air features just a little better hardware performance than Xiaomi MiPad, because although it has less RAM and less and slower processing cores, it also counts with a graphics processor and a 64-bit CPU. The iPad Air features a little more vivid display than Xiaomi MiPad, because although it has a just a little inferior number of pixels per inch in the screen, and they both have exactly the same 1536 x 2048 resolution, the iPad Air also counts with a larger screen.
The iPad Air has a much greater storage capacity to store more games and applications than Xiaomi MiPad, because although it has no SD memory slot, it also counts with more internal memory. The iPad Air features a bit better camera than Xiaomi MiPad, although it has a tinier camera aperture which is not recommended for low light captures and videos, a way less megapixels back facing camera and a lower 1920x1080 video definition.

The iPad Air is a little more expensive than the Xiaomi MiPad, but you can get a much better tablet for that few extra dollars.
