TechSpot posted a review on the Apple iPad Air



It's hard to believe but it’s been less than four years since Apple released the iPad, opening the door to an entirely new market of portable devices that, along with smartphones, has eroded the traditional PC industry in a way that most people would have never imagined a few short years ago.

The iPad is now on its fifth iteration and with it comes a new name, the iPad Air. True to the moniker, Apple’s latest full-size tablet has been put on a significant diet. It retains the same 9.7-inch display but with a bezel that is 43 percent thinner along with a 20 percent reduction in overall thickness.

Measuring just 7.5mm thin, it’s actually a tiny bit thinner than the iPhone 5s and at a weight of 1 pound even, it’s the lightest full-size tablet currently in the market. Full dimensions are 9.4 inches (240mm) x 6.6 inches (1.695mm) x 0.29 inch (7.5mm) for the Wi-Fi only version we have on hand today. Cellular models feature identical measurements but weigh a hair more at 1.05 pounds.
