Review of the new iPad 2

Posted: Apr 22, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

The original iPad from Apple is only about a year old now. It is a revolutionary device that ushered interest in tablet computers in both producers and consumers. Now PC tablets have their own niche, between laptops and smartphones. Although the iPad was not the first of its kind, its creation was definitely what boosted interest in tablets.

While the iPad is still in the lead, other PC tablets are starting to catch up. With this growing threat, they have decided to release the iPad 2. Once again, Apple's devices are heavily anticipated and in light of this, here's some of what consumers need to know to decide whether or not to keep their old iPad, or upgrade to the new iPad2.

Apple's new products and product upgrades are almost always better than the ones that they are replacing. While some upgrades are minor, others are pretty major, with all kinds of new bells and whistles being added. Adding "new and cool" stuff to all their new products is why Apple has suchh a large follwoing in the tech industry. Even if other manufacturers are at par when it comes to technical design, Apple also has an edge in the appearance and style of their devices.

The iPad2 looks similar to the iPad, which is sort of suprising, since Apple is known for it's design inovations. The main difference in appearance between the 2 iPads is that the iPad2 is a little thinner, a little sleaker and a little cooler. The work Apple did to make the Macbook Air thinner, was used to improve the design of the iPad2. With this thinner appearance, the iPad 2 is also relatively lighter than the original by around 0.2 pounds.

Here are some of the upgrades that are included in the new iPad2. The new processor is an A5 dual core chip instead of the old A4, which had only a single core, and was slower. RAM has also been doubled from the original 256 MB to 512 MB. The new "2" also has a gyroscope to help with screen orientation problems that occured in the old iPad.

The screen in the new iPad2 is the same as the old one, which is too bad, because it could have used an update too. The upside is that there's a new graphics engine, which should improve refresh rates and color density.

Now, the only thing you have to decide is whether or not to upgrade from your old iPad to a new one?
