Why the fourth-generation iPad is the best tablet

2012-11-09
hey guys Eric Franklin from see that here and instead of burying the lede I'm just gonna come out and say it the fourth generation iPad is our favorite tablet of the year how does it compare to the new iPad you know the old one released in March well this latest version of the tablet has an upgraded front facing camera and a new a 6 X processor that's it what the iPad lacks in new features it more than makes up with older awesome features like its premium build quality that app store and a deep and robust media ecosystem supporting the best in movies music TV shows games books and apps its speed and performance has also noticeably increased thanks to his new processor app selection is still the single most impressive iPad trait if there's an app worth having it'll likely be on the App Store before anywhere else from cool finance apps to tons of educational cooking and productivity apps to a whole fraggin section of apps for healthcare professionals if you're interested in doing things on a tablet you know like useful fun things this is your place now given the iPads graphical capabilities I really wanted to single out games I'm not what some would call a casual gamer I play console games and I still game on the PC and yet I still love playing games on this thing like with general apps the iPad has the most best and best looking games of any tablet platform while you eventually find some of these games on Android the vast majority of the time the best version is the iPad version some of my favorites that really show off the system's horsepower are Nova 3 wild blood and meat for Speed Most Wanted now the iPads resolution isn't as high as the Nexus 10 but the iPads deep black level superior color reproduction and overall higher polygon pushing horsepower more than makes up for that I also love just how smooth and zippy it performs when navigating from menu across screens and when opening apps there's just a quickness here that really outshines anything else at an average brightness that iPad lasts over 14 hours playing a local movie at 720p which again no other tablet has been able to rival the iPad is an excellent tablet but it's not perfect if you want deep OS customization options you'll want to look elsewhere namely the latest version of Android jelly bean specifically the Nexus 7 or Nexus 10 and for getting any real work done on the tablet the iPad pales in comparison to the Microsoft Surface with its comfortable keyboard cover and the inclusion of office also at 500 bucks for 16 gigabytes you're paying more for less storage compared to other leading tablets and speaking of storage there is no microSD option still when it comes to speed battery life and an incredibly large and very App Store media ecosystem the iPad has no equal once again this is Eric Franklin with a product spotlight on the fourth-generation iPad you
