Apple iPad Review

It's the best portable Web surfing device. The initial Wi-Fi version sort of limits where you can use it, though. You can wait for the 3G version and its $15-per-month AT&T 3G service, or get a MiFi from Sprint or Verizon (which also can be used with your laptop).
Pros:
  • No manual necessary
  • Access to nearly all iPhone apps
  • 10-hour-plus battery life
  • Bright 9.7-inch IPS LCD screen
  • Three external buttons
  • Multi-directional accelerometer
Cons:
  • Highly reflective screen
  • Slippery
  • No multi-tasking (yet
  • "Only" a few thousand iPad-specific apps (so far

Great tablet, fantastic price, and wife didn't mind me getting it first.

Purchased my iPad (2017) at local store in Utah and am having a blast using it. Wife wanted me to get one first, next we get hers. Hmm... maybe if I can talk her into taking mine I can get the model with cellular.
Pros:
  • Wonderful resolution/clear sound/lightweight/it's an iPad
Cons:
  • could use more power/cellular not included at $329(wish it was)

Apple's newest iPad is a budget model that samples the best parts from past hits. We've got the original iPad Air's body stuffed with the iPhone 6s's A9 chipset and paired with a brighter version of the iPad Air 2's display. We have no complaints about performance, and battery life is excellent.

Apple iPad (2017) review: the best feature is the price

Here's what you need to know about the new iPad: it is an iPad, and it is good. Apple has named it simply iPad but we have to refer to it as "iPad (2017)" or "iPad (5th generation)" or "new iPad 9.7" because the world is a broken place. I am just going to call it the iPad.
Pros:
  • It is an iPad
  • The price is reasonable
  • It's fast
Cons:
  • Screen could be nicer
  • No smart connector for keyboards
  • Speakers only on one side

Apple iPad (2017) Tablet Review

Old wine in new bottles – we hear this quite often when a manufacturer refreshes a supposedly old product. Especially when it is equipped with dated technology. This is also the case for Apple's latest iPad. The iOS tablet from 2017 is just that: recycled, dated hardware in an even older chassis.
Pros:
  • bright display
  • accurate colors
  • precise touchscreen
  • excellent build quality
  • long battery runtime
  • high browser performance
Cons:
  • outdated SoC
  • very glossy screen
  • old LTE standard
  • slightly increased black value
  • no support for Apple pencil

Review: Apple's 2017 9.7" iPad with A9 CPU isn't a game-changer, but it isn't supposed to be

The 2017 9.7-inch iPad isn't intended to revolutionize Apple's tablet offerings, but it does go a long way to unifying the product line, and paving the way for the future of the platform -all starting at just $329.

It's hard not to compare this fifth-generation iPad to the tablets that came before it as it's essentially a hodgepodge of hardware and components Apple already had lying around with the latest iOS software slapped on top. But a Frankenstein's monster this is not.
Pros:
  • Respectable battery life
  • Sturdy and lightweight
  • Beautiful design
  • Affordable

The 2017 iPad's new, aggressive pricing is laser-guided to take down premium-priced Android equivalents. That, plus its impressive battery life and infinite well-curated apps, make it today's best-value tablet.
Pros:
  • Newly competitive price for its screen size
  • Solid construction
  • Strong app ecosystem
  • Satisfying battery life
Cons:
  • Incrementally thicker than predecessor
  • Slow charging
