iPads are pretty heavy yet they're still very portable. Apple has now created the new iPad Air which only weighs in at one pound! That's 28% lighter than a normal iPad. With a new iPad comes new features such as two antenas which means 2x faster wifi. There's also many other new features with big technological words that nobody really understands. Anyways, there is 10 hours of battery life, and better performance (kind of like a desktop). I think the iPad Air is great, I can't wait to compare it to our iPads to see how light it actually is!
