I love this ipad!!! I love the acceability and conveince of the ipad. It has great web surfing speed and a great screen. I would recomend an ipad for both entertainment and work.

With retina screen watching tv and movies is now more of a pleasure than ever before but is it worth the upgrade.

- Great Battery Life; - Retina Display; - Powerful

- New charger port; - Expensive; - Not too different to iPad 3

I absolutely love the iPad. I have bought some extra icloud space (expensive) which is great as I have an iphone5. The two are sync'd so that all photos can be viewed on either device. Most of the features I like have been widely publicised, eg battery life, instant power on, screen resolution.

Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Simple Controls

It's it the best tablet so far, but the price is too pricey. The screen resolution is better than any tablet out there, and the processor is really fast. If you have the money to spend then I recommend this but if you are short budget then go for the windows surface.

Ok, I am a current and previous owner of Apple products, specifically iPhone and iPad 2. There has been much hype about the Retina Display, Lightning connector and faster processor. Since there has been a price reduction, I decided to purchase the iPad 4 from Staples.

Easy To Set Up; Easy to Use; Efficient; Quality Construction; Reliable

Not That Much Faster; Photos Worse

Having bought a tablet off another shopping channel that I did not like, I was pleased that QVC had the Ipad and on easy pay. I think it's fantastic and don't want to give it back, sadly apart from the battery case I don't need or want any of the other extras offered so reluctantly I will be...

Verdict: Is it worth it? Put it this way. If you never bought one, you wouldn't miss it. But buy it and you'll soon wonder how you lived without it.

Brilliant user interface; lovely LCD screen; great form factor and design; WiFi support

Quite an expensive gadget; expensive accessories; no Flash support

It's a very expensive but essentially fun toy. Not quite mobile, not quite PC, but engaging anyway.

Fantastic design Easy to use Lends itself well to the average consumer

Incredibly expensive Doesn't know what it wants to be Tough for work No Flash support.

CNET.com 's Donald Bell has written a fantastic and comprehensive review of the Apple iPad that we first published shortly after the tablet's US release, and after using the iPad we absolutely agree with his analysis.

In an act of aggressive tech convergence; Apple has consolidated your Netbook; e-reader; gaming device; photo frame; and iPod into an elegant; affordable supergadget; Bluetooth; 802.11n Wi-Fi; Movie rentals; 10 hours of battery life; Optional 3G wireless; Most-celebrated App Store on the planet

The iPad's large size is as much a hindrance as it is an advantage; The iPad can't entirely mimic many of the specialised products it seeks to replace; Limited multitasking capabilities; Lack of integrated video camera; Flash support; and HD video output

The Apple iPad isn't an eBook reader, which makes it very hard to compare it to other eBook readers. It doesn't use e-ink technology, it's heavy, you can't read out of it in bright places, and the display will strain your eyes eventually.

Amazing design; Most intuitive interface yet; Full-color screen; Wi-Fi and 3G wireless; Will do just about anything

LCD display is hard to read from in bright places and will eventually strain your eyes; Battery lasts only ten hours; Heavy; Costs almost twice as much as the Kindle 2 or Nook; Additional 3G wireless fees apply (around $130
