Novelties of New iPad

While we look forward to the New iPad Geekbench Results, new A5X processor promises to be a beast as evidenced by their ability to deal smoothly with these 2040 × 1536 pixels resolution. The memory has also doubled, which will allow developers to create more complex and powerful applications.

The display not only has four times the resolution of the iPad 2 also shows a considerably brighter colors making it a delight regardless of the primary use that we will give the tablet of the block. Deception in the front chamber is offset by a camera back up to expectations in the future and can also give much play despite the impracticality that a priori is taking pictures with a tablet.

The technological leap in point of connectivity is also notable. Not only by the introduction of 4G LTE , but to raise to 12 the number of bands supported, allowing the new iPad basically connect to the Internet from any network on the planet. Meanwhile, the Bluetooth 4.0 enjoys a lower consumption, greater security and a matching system much simpler.

Finally, the battery charge to achieve the challenge of maintaining the same autonomy from the previous generation despite the changes is a bulky unit of 42.5 watts compared to 25 watts iPad 2. Do you understand now these 0.6 mm thick and 51 grams of extra weight?

My conclusion- If you’ve resisted until now to present you with a tablet, there is nothing even remotely close in the market that matches the new iPad. And if despite the differences, you still coming budget, as a user of iPad 2, I guarantee that is a model that will continue to give plenty to talk about with its new and unbeatable price.
