Tested with a friend who just offer this new Ipad. First of all, I hope that Amazon will correct the record of it, because the Air 2 is not in 1.3 Ghz, 1.5 Ghz but in triple hearts ... and mine-report (mini Retina 2) I have not managed to catch out the power of the air, even on extremely intensive games or apps. Just a little thing, it slightly warm down, but nothing too bad. The screen is beautiful, very bright, a little different from the previous Air in the sense that Apple has managed to make it less sensitive to glare. Some say the Air is fragile given its small thickness. To have had in hand, I did not find less robust than other models, despite its lightness. the finish is superb, nothing beyond, everything is clear. I had a big doubt on the operation of fingerprint authentication, I expected a slow thing. Actually no, it's super responsive, coupled to the output standby button, simply place your finger and the iPad wakes from sleep instantly. We just store up to 5 prints. Others will confirm, but autonomy seemed to me shorter than on mine, to see. The weight of the old iPad to that I went to the mini, but during those few hours spent with him, it would make me go back Air well to iPad 9.7 '. FYI, Ipad mini 340 g against 440 g for Air. Hoping to have helped you a little in your choice! Beautiful and long life to all ...
