The iPad Air has been superseded by three new models - the iPad Air 2, the iPad Pro and the iPad Pro 9.7 since it first came out in 2014, and Apple no longer sells it on its website. That doesn't mean that you should ignore the original iPad Air, though...

Adopting the Air moniker used by the company's super-light laptops really makes sense here, as the iPad Air is staggeringly light. At just 469g (Wi-Fi version) it's 183g lighter than the 652g iPad 4. That's a staggering 28 per cent lighter, which is even...

It's been a whole year since the last iPad was released, but Apple has already found a way to slim it down into a shadow of its former self. The change is so drastic, Apple has christened this new device the iPad Air, just like the MacBook Air before i...

The first thing you'll notice about Apple's latest tablet is that it's extremely thin. It measures a svelte 7.5mm fat and weighs just a single pound (469g). It's not as thin as the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, but it's lighter, and you won't even notice the millimetre difference. Last year's iPad mini won rave reviews with its slim design and reduced bezels, but this full-sized iPad steals its crown. Th...
Apple's put a lot of effort into iOS 7 for its latest range of iPhones, but it seems like an afterthought on the iPad. If you're used to using iOS, you'll be right at home, but there are a few niggles on the larger-screen version that make it feel unfinished. Some design elements feel like they don't scale right and aren’t suited to a tablet, and multitasking is still not as good as on rival slat...

Slimmer, lighter, and faster than last year's model, Apple's iPad Air ($499-$929) is the best tablet for the most people. It's a full-fledged computer that's now so thin and light that you won't even notice it's in your bag. Like every iPad before it, it'...

Silky smooth and super to look at. The powerful A7 processor is the same as found in the iPhone 5s and iPad mini with Retina Display (Est. $400 and up) but tweaked up a step to run slightly faster making this one of the fastest mobile devices you can find...

Had the iPad lost its way? Not as a range, certainly; over the last twelve months, the iPad mini has been the darling of the tablet scene, coupling affordability with convenience and build quality. The full-sized, 9.7-inch iPad has arguably been sideli...

The iPad Air is the no-compromise tablet. Beautiful display, crisp design, premium build quality: it’s the gold-standard by which tablets are judged, and rightly so. If Apple’s full-sized slates had fallen into the shadow of their mini brethren over t...

It seemed like a foregone conclusion that the 10-inch tablet market was done for, with all interest and excitement shifting to smaller, but equally capable 7 or 8-inch tablets instead. It also seemed like 15-inch notebook computers were done for a couple...

Two weeks ago I had all but written off the bigger iPad. It was too bulky and just no where near as portable as the iPad mini. Once the latter gets a Retina Display and equal hardware across the board, why would anyone consider the bigger model?The iPad A...
