Apple iPad (2019) review
The iPad is obviously an inferior device to the Air and Pro models, but if all you want a tablet for is media consumption and typing up the occasional word document, Apple’s cheapest slate is still the best option. The £130 extra you can pay for a base configuration iPad Air buys you a faster processor, a lighter frame and a better screen, but for most people, none of these things are must-haves, especially as the iPad remains an attractive and well-performing tablet despite its aging hardware. And the slightly bigger display and Smart Connector bring it even closer to the mid-tier tablet. iPadOS’s arrival also makes it an ideal time to invest in a new tablet if you haven’t done so in a while - and if you want to give your laptop the afternoon off, the iPad is a just-about capable stand-in. It’s like we always say: a milk chocolate Viennese might be the ultimate biscuit, but you can’t go wrong with a custard cream.
Great price; Can now be used with Apple’s Smart Keyboard; Bigger screen, which matters no matter how small the increase; It’s an iPad - they’re good ;
Nothing to entice those who bought an iPad last year; Non-laminated screen isn’t as good for drawing; A new processor would have been nice;
