So should you get the iPad? Well it really depends on what you want to do with it. On the one hand, if you're looking for a netbook replacement, you're definitely not going to find it here - while the iPad can do a bit of lightweight word processing and presentations, the many drawbacks mean that...

: Gorgeous screen; long battery life; extensive application support

: No USB port; no memory card slot; closed file system

The iPad revolutionizes the concept of a tablet computer. Its sleek, portable and boasts a speedy CPU, powering its gorgeous 9.7-inch screen

I picked up my iPad, pressed the menu button, typed in my passcode and went straight onto the net in about thirty seconds. That is what this is all about. No one is saying the iPad is a serious computer but it is a very slick net browser that can play music and films in good quality, carry your...

Check out our full comparison with the iPad Mini ! Launched at the same time as the Apple iPad Mini , the fourth generation iPad came as a bit of a surprise, mostly because the third generation iPad hit our shelves just six short months ago.

Impressive Retina display; Surprisingly good battery life; Great range of apps; 4G support; Updated FaceTime camera

Not very portable; No memory card slot

Apple has done what Apple knows best; rethought a whole product segment. It's been carried out very well - the iPad is a lovely device to use and we can't fault that wonderfully large screen. If you're in the market for a slate, then the iPad is definitely one of the best around.

Fits my needs perfectly. Watch movies, surf, listen to music and read books. Many times easier to use than a laptop. However, I miss the freedom, such as a file system allows, hence the rating of nine out of ten. Passar mina behov perfekt. Se på film, surfa, lyssna på musik och läsa böcker.

While it might seem that Wired's review of the iPad is a tad overdue , our tardiness is not without reason. Apple makes perfect honeymoon devices; glossy, glamorous, luxury items that purr with interactivity and effortless sophistication as soon as they emerge from their artful boxes.

Devours content -- books, magazines, comics and videos -- with pleasure; More portable than your laptop, more substantial than your smartphone

Stuck behind Apple's backwards restrictions: no multitasking; too few video formats and a lack of flash all hold it back from being the do-all device

So here it is, Apple's new iPad, or iPad 3 if you prefer to call it that (Apple doesn't). You've heard the hype -- it's 'resolutionary,' 'it's a magical piece of glass,' 'it's a major breakthrough,' 'it's powerful and amazing,' 'it's profoundly better,' 'it's the ultimate iPad,' according to Apple.

Sexy Display; High Octane Graphics; 4G LTE; at Long Last; A Camera that Doesn't Stink; Say It Don't Spray It

CPU Hasn't Changed; FaceTime Still Stinks; Technically Bigger/Heavier; Still Missing Features

Today I am checking out the 16GB Apple iPad. The iPad launched Saturday and was dropped off on my doorstep by early afternoon Saturday. Yesterday I posted up some unboxing pictures of the device and a few early impression of the iPad.

Fantastic on-screen keyboard; Great screen; Lightweight; Good-looking

Strange issue with WiFi drops; iPad native apps are too expensive in some instances

that's too big to be considered a portable media player, yet is also too limited to completely replace the laptop.

Beautifully made; big screen; sound is good through speakers and excellent via headphones

Speakers are too quiet; attracts fingerprints; still no Flash support
