Apple iPad 2 is a good device launched in March 2011, featuring a huge 9.7" capacitive screen, a great performance 1000 MHz Dual-Core CPU, and two cameras, a 0.7 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera. That's everything we have to say? No, it's only the starting point of this extreme review.

This tablet is just 0.34 inches thick, making it one of the thinnest tablets on sale. This tablet is only 9.5 inches long and 7.31 inches wide, but it manages to hold a 9.7 inches display. The iPad 2 feels a bit heavy for a tablet of this size, with a weight of 21.41 ounces. Apple sells this tablet in two different color options: black and white.

This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

Apple decided to power this tablet using a Apple A5 chip, including a great performance Dual-Core processor speeding at 1000 megahertz and 512 MB of RAM memory. Graphic intensive games and applications generally uses lots of CPU processing time, so this tablet also has a PowerVR SGX543 MP2 GPU speeding at 200 megahertz to help handle those graphic tasks. A good aspect of the iPad 2 is its quite large 16 GB internal storage memory and whereas it doesn't have a slot for SD memory cards, it is enough to install hundreds of applications and games, although it might not be suitable if you are planning to install some of the heaviest games currently available.

The Apple iPad 2 has wi-fi capability (although it can't be provided to other devices around, as a mobile mobile hotspot) and 3G connectivity, using EV-DO A technologies. The Apple iPad 2 doesn't have a SIM card, because it isn't a GSM tablet and it works in CDMA networks.

The iPad 2 is equipped with two cameras, a 0.7 megapixels back facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera. It is capable of shooting 1280x720 HD videos at 30 fps.

The iPad 2 features a high capacity 6944 mAh Li-Polymer non-replaceable battery providing this device a great battery life. An issue to consider is that the iPad 2's battery is not replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to live shorter, although with so much capacity you will probably discard this tablet before it happens.

This device also comes with a few nice features like Bluetooth (enables communication with other tablet devices, computers and accessories) and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This tablet is being sold for about $ 405, which is a very high price for this type of tablet device. The iPad 2 is a very good choice for you no matter whether you are looking for a social tablet device, need a tablet device for work or are looking for a tablet for gaming.
