Apple new Ipad
'Resolutionary' display Apple has coined this new term to highlight the upgraded screen in the new Ipad, which is indeed impressive. The 9.7in Retina LED-backlit widescreen display packs 2048x1536 pixels, equating to 3.1 million pixels at a rate of 264 pixels per inch.
Pros:
- High-quality display
- responsive
- fast performance
- good battery life
- lightweight
Cons:
- 4G not available in UK yet
- lack of killer new feature means this isn't a must-have upgrade for Ipad 2 owners
- but viewed as a standalone tablet it's the best around
- We would have liked a different name

Apple new iPad review
Although LTE of little use in the UK for now, the Retina display still makes the new iPad a highly desirable tablet, though it may a short while for apps and web sites to fully exploit it.

The new iPad is faster, has a better screen, better camera and now displays movies and records in full HD. To some it might not be an essential upgrade from the iPad 2, but one look at its gorgeous Retina Display will change your mind.
Pros:
- The new iPad's Retina Display is far ahead of any tablet out there
- When it was launched, Apple claimed that text is sharper to read than on a newspaper
- It's hard to disagree
- Not a single pixel appears out of place.
Cons:
- The new iPad is around a millimetre thicker than the iPad 2, and 50g heavier
- In the grand scheme of things though, this makes little difference
- Slightly more pressing is that Apple is still offering the same 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models, As apps become optimised for use on Apple's Retina Display, so...

Apple iPad (3rd-Gen): The TechSpot Review
As was widely anticipated, Apple unveiled the third-generation iPad last March 7 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Analysts speculated that we would see the iPad 3 or perhaps the iPad HD but Cupertino defied all in attendance by simply calling it "the new iPad."
Pros:
- Retina display resolution is unmatched
- Great performance
- Solid operating system and software ecosystem
- 4G support
- Same price
Cons:
- The iPad remains a closed device on many levels and that's something you must live with once you enter Apple's world
