create a timeless beauty.
The successful mix of materials affects quality and robust and lies, despite its size
and the weight of just over 650 grams, neat in his hand.
However, the processing power of the iPad has been significantly improved. With a current
A6X chip processor, the tablet is working twice as fast as the A5X processor of the iPad. 3
One notices this especially graphically complex games and extensive Apps.
Here the response time of the iPad is incredibly fast and, above all liquid.
Most notably the iPad generally remains the built since the third-generation Retina
Display.
The sharpness is just amazing. Visible pixel as yet the iPad 2 or the yet

"Lightning Connector" is used. In short, a new connection for the power supply.
Thereby, existing accessories such as power cables or docking stations, to no longer use,
or have to be bridged or newly acquired entirely by additional adapters.
Annoying, especially with expensive accessories like music stations with docking station.
Overall, however, convinced the Apple iPad 4 with a superb display, long battery life,
ease of use and a very appealing visual appearance.
Thanks to the even faster processor, the iPad is also first of main competitor
Samsung and its flagship tablet from the Galaxy Note 10.1.
Those looking for an excellent tablet is well served by the current iPad.
