iPad Air Hands-On

2013-11-01
what's up everyone John renta from TechnoBuffalo here earlier today we invited this guy the brains new iPad air it's not enough time to do a for review but it is plenty of time to do a first impressions it's not any further ado let's get first impression so it's called the iPad air for one obvious reason it feels super light now I can't really tell you on video or you let you experience how light it feels but slice to say it feels really really light especially when you compare it to the iPad for any previous generation iPad you know you can hardly even feel the weight and certainly it still weighs something it's not you know lighter than air but it really feels very nice the big difference here design wise I mean you take a previous generation iPad and you stack them like an iPad sandwich you can see how much smaller the iPad air really is it's almost as if you took out one of the whole side bezels on the iPad 4 it really is astounding another thing I've noticed with the iPad and we sort of verified this other folks in the office when you tap the screen I know if you can hear that it almost feels like the device is hollow if you compare that to what it feels like touch the screen of last generation iPad it's a very different sound so I don't know if the glass is thinner perhaps on the iPad which certainly might have accounted for its thinness and loss of weight but you certainly can notice it only if you compare it to a previous generation so speed here is obviously fast I got a 64-bit chip it's very very quick applications launched really fast that's kind of silly to show yeah things look fast look how quick Safari launches hey it's quick but it's always been quick it's never been slow scrolling is also very quick pretty intensive games like Infinity Blade 3 look gorgeous on this giant screen it looks absolutely beautiful and graphics are stunning the motion is very quick and fluid you never at any time feel like you are using an underpowered device other than that it's pretty much I Oh s7 that we know you definitely get the sense that iOS 7 was designed with the iPad air and the iPhone 5s in mind and perhaps probably been used as a reference hardware I just worked very very quickly any quark you might have noticed with your iPhone 5 or older generation iPad or the iOS 7 you are not going to notice here with the iPad air the bezels here are smaller but they're still planning room to hold your hands when you're using it so there are stereo speakers here on the bottom I would have preferred to have maybe one on the bottom and one on top so you get sort of true stereo sound even if you're holding your iPad down you're gonna get this like this for example I didn't get that sound a little bit muffled but the speaker's do sound very good on the iPad and regardless of location having stereo speakers is definitely welcome some folks they almost have said the home button feels a little bit different as a little shallower I haven't noticed that but you might when you pick up your iPad air or try it in an Apple Store other than that this is pretty much I pad through and through everything we know and love or loathe about the iPad I do like the new design it feels more like a larger iPad Mini and I love the way that looked I'm gonna kick it up in space greater so more silver of course you've got the silver here just looks nice the reflective Apple logo is there so you can look at your beautiful face camera has improved but please don't use that back camera to get any pictures of anything only time you should ever use that is when your FaceTime you want to show someone something in front of you don't be that guy holding this thing up times eight pictures of your kids it's just not cool like I said it's an iPad through and through it's a quickest iPad yet it's the best iPad yet in the market for a new tablet this would be a great one to pick up I don't know yet if it's worth an upgrade from the iPad 4 I'll use it for a few more days like you guys know anything else you want to see though about the iPad ever be sure to let us know till next time I am Jon render from TechnoBuffalo be sure to check us out vaishu british tech news please give the video a thumbs up so if we appreciate it I will see you guys at the next video life what's up everyone its Ashlee thanks so much for watching that most recent video if you enjoyed it please click on the word subscribe right underneath me to get tons of more tech videos from us here at TechnoBuffalo we've got unboxings comparisons reviews recaps and everything else you can think of here on the channel if you're in the mood for more technology just click right over here to check out some of our most recent videos see you next time humans
