iPad is good for ?

It seems like I am a huge fans with devices started with "i". This time, I am going to have a review on ipad. First iPad to be exact as ipad 2 is still on its way.

1. Design
BEAU..TIFUL . Yes, like most of the Apple products, it's a beauty to behold. The matte aluminium on the back feels great unde the finger and nothing feels cheap. ipad weights only 1.5 pounds(670g) . Even though with such light weight, it is heavy enough for the wrist to get tired after holding it for 30 min as most of the users claimed. However, ipad with the display of 9.56 inch x 7.47 inch and 0.5 inch( 1.3cm) thick is definitely a sleek design product.

 2. Display
 ipad comes with 9.7 inch LED backlit IPS display. With the resolution 1024×768 it has a seemingly low pixel density compare to high ends smartphones. Colors on the screen are vibrant and saturated, while blacks feel true and deep. The screen is capacitive, multitouch, and handle input excellently.

3. Battery life

The custom iPad A4 processor consumes very little power. Thanks to progress in low-power designs, the battery life of ipad is becoming seriously long. Most gadgets continue to drain power when they are in sleep mode. In the case of the iPad, the battery lost about 1% per night (7hr), which is quite low. This might be a positive effect of not having too much stuff running in the background.


4. Ipad doesn't run hot
Apple has the reputation of burning laps. Users claimed that ipad doesn't expel heat as expected after using for several hours. It's nice to know that iPad doesn't melt any finger.

However, to call iPad the best in class would be an overstatement. It's not exactly notable for design flourishes. It's good looking in general but not terribly exciting or something to die for. I will tell you why in the following post .
