iPad Air: "Best Tablet I've Ever Reviewed"

Walt Mossberg, the Technology Columnist of the Wall Street Journal, has high praise for the new iPad Air in his recent review.  The improvements are significant, and make a fine product even better in his opinion.

He cites these upgrades to the iPad:

• Thinner: Apple has reduced the thickness of the iPad by 20%
• Smaller: the new iPad is 9% narrower, while maintaining the 9.7" screen size
• Lighter: now weighing 1 lb., 28% lighter
• Faster: a new 64 bit A7 Chip, up to 100% faster than some earlier models
• Battery: all while maintaining the 10 hour battery life

In his words: "the battery performance of the iPad Air simply blew me away...clocking a battery life of 12 hours and 13 minutes, which exceeded Apple's claims by more than 20%."

He concludes: "If you can afford it, the new iPad Air is the tablet I recommend, hands down."
