Apple iPad Air is a top-level iOS device released many years ago, with a really big 9.7" display, a high speed 1400 megahertz Dual-Core CPU, and two cameras, a 5 megapixels back side camera and a 1.2 mega-pixels front camera.
The Apple iPad Air is powered by a Apple A7 system chip, packing an extremely fast 64 bits Dual-Core processing unit clocking at 1400 megahertz and only 1 GB RAM memory which is a little poor comparing with its powerful processor. Graphic rendering often uses lots of processing power, so it uses an extra PowerVR G6430 graphics processing unit running at 600 megahertz to take care of them, leaving the CPU free for other tasks. A nice point of this tablet is its big 16 GB internal storage memory and while it doesn't have a slot for SD memory cards, it should be enough to install a couple hundred games and apps, but it probably wouldn't be enough if you are fan of the largest games available nowadays.
Talking about its construction, this device is mainly created with Aluminium, which gives it a quality finish and high resistance. This tablet is just 0.3 inches thick, making it one of the thinnest tablets nowadays. While the iPad Air is only 9.45 inches long and 6.67 inches wide, it's able to fit a a 9.7 inches display. The iPad Air feels much lighter than what you expect from a tablet this size. This tablet is offerred in three colors, black, gray and white.
The Apple iPad Air is equipped with a very good 1536 x 2048 9.7" screen, providing this tablet with a nice graphic quality. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.
The iPad Air is equipped with two cameras, a 5 MP back camera and a 1.2 MP front side camera. It also shoots 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 frames per second. The camera also features lots of amazing characteristics: digital image stabilization, auto-focus, HDR mode, face detection shooting, time lapse video and geo tagging.
This tablet packs a high capacity 8820 mAh Li-Polymer non-replaceable battery that provides this tablet a great battery duration. An issue to evaluate is that the iPad Air's battery is non-removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins losing capacity, though with its 8820 mAh you will probably replace this device before it becomes an issue.
This tablet offers Wi-Fi connectivity (and it can be provided to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high speed data connection and fast 3G connection type, using HSPA, UMTS, EV-DO A, EV-DO B and EDGE technologies. This tablet works with a Nano SIM card for GSM carriers and it works with both GSM and CDMA carriers.
This tablet also comes with a couple of interesting features like Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Geolocation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.
Apple offers this tablet for $ 194, which is a quite high price for this kind of tablet. No matter whether you will use it as a social device, will use this tablet for work, will use it for playing games or want this tablet device to take plenty of photos, this tablet is the correct choice . If you buy this tablet you also get USB Power Adapter and Lightning to USB Cable.
