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...

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).

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.

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...
