Tim Stevens iPad Air review is up and - big surprise! - it s more iPad. An evolution as opposed to a true revolution in tablets. As such, it s entering a much more competitive market than any iPad before it. There are quite a few viable - and most times cheaper - alternatives to the iPad Air. And more are still coming. That said, Apple still kills it when it comes to app availability and quality, and the iPad Air epitomizes high-end tech. Also, the iOS interface - although not nearly as customizable as some of its competitors - is fast, simple, and often problem-free. Still…

More recently, Android tablets are also gaining popularity as possible iPad replacements.

The biggest difference between the iPad and Android tablets is the operating system since the iPad runs on iOS while Android tablets run…

The iPad Air is a totally redesigned tablet. Apple has decided to rebuild the world s most famous tablet to try to keep it well ahead of the competition. In many ways it has succeeded. The iPad Air is slim, light and superbly crafted. A turbo-charged version of the the brilliant 64-bit Apple A7 processor found on the iPhone 5S provides the grunt and, even though the screen is the same resolution as on previous models it is better than ever before. It s the weight and lack thereof that s the real star here, though. iPad Air - Video Review Check out the iPad Air video review iPad…

I hear this question being asked every day. “What’s better for education, the Ipad or the Chromebook?” It pains me to hear this question. It’s really the wrong question to be asking. Why? Ipads and Chromebooks are two dissimilar platforms. The first real comparison should be Windows vs Chromebooks. A Chromebook, which is a laptop, competes with Windows. Laptops are intended for content creation. Content creation requires more processor power, keyboard, trackpad, and a form factor that requires a stationary use

The Apple iPad Air has a much higher screen resolution and better performance, two of the most important aspects of any tablet. While the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 has longer battery life and a microSD card slot, these are not enough to overcome the iPad’s advantages. So Apple’s tablet is undoubtedly the better option… if cost is ignored. Value The version of the Tab A 9.7 with 16GB of storage is $299, while the version of the iPad Air with the same amount of internal storage is $399, a $100 advantage for the Samsung model. The Tab A 9.7 32GB is $399, and the iPad Air 32GB is…

The Apple iPad Air came out in 2013 while the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 debuted this spring, so some might expect the much newer model to have better performance, but that’s not the case. Apple’s tablet uses a 64-bit, 1.4 GHz, dual-core processor with 1 GB of RAM. On the Geekbench 3 test it scored a 2650. Samsung’s has a 32-bit, 1.2 GHz quad-core processor with 1.5 GB of RAM. Its Geekbench 3 score is 1440.
