what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here the new ipad is out it's been available for a few weeks we've had it in our TechnoBuffalo labs testing it I've been using it every day to try and give you the most comprehensive review from a user someone who's actually tested everything about the tablet put it through all of its paces to try and give you guys the most comprehensive review and help you make the choice whether or not the new iPad is going to be right for you let's go ahead and get started so with the new iPad the more things have changed the more they stayed the same the new iPad is nearly identical in looks to the outgoing ipad 2 sure it's a little bit thicker and it's a little bit heavier but for the most part they look almost exactly the same they got that same aluminum back they've got the same colored bezel and the screen wall powered off you really can't see a difference so it's available in a ton of different models you've got a 16 gig 32 gig 64 gig Wi-Fi then you can throw 4g on top of that prices ranging from 499 all the way up to eight hundred and thirty dollars shipping with iOS 5.1 but certainly that will get upgraded from dimension standpoint 9.5 inches by 7.31 inches by point three seven inches weighs one point four four pounds that's point 11 pounds heavier than the ipad 2 others play is that same 9.7 inch retina display or try a 9.7 inch screen it's now a Retina display it's an IPS screen the resolution of 240 8 x 1536 42.5 watt hours apple says can be good for about 10 hours on Wi-Fi or nine hours on 4g processor we're looking at an a 5 X 1 gigahertz dual-core chip with quad-core for graphics we've got a gig of ram in here so we've got a 5 megapixel camera that can shoot video at 1080p it's actually the same lens system as the iphone 4s on the front we've got the same vga camera that we had on the ipad 2 4g LTE on both verizon and AT&T the big upgrade here's of course our retina display found on the new ipad and fortunately the biggest upgrade is also the one that i can't really show you it's not going to adjust to see it streamed on whatever you're watching this video on but I will do my best to show you some of the highlights if you saw the video I did comparing this to the ipad 2 that's the best way you can see a difference the pixels are extremely bright there's many more to be lit up here so there's been want to talk about the ipad heating up thought to be appropriate to show it here with some fire I has run a little bit warm but I haven't any sort of extreme heating issues that others are reporting so at least in my model that appears to be a little bit blown out of proportion text looks absolutely incredible I never thought the screen on the ipad 2 was bad in fact it always looked pretty good to me but this definitely looks better extremely crisped I always had a hard time reading books or long articles on LCD display it hurt my eyes I preferred ink I've had a much easier time though on the new iPad so if you've run into issues similar to that definitely gonna be a reason to want to consider the new iPad let's talk about something that I can show you speed eid speed speed and speed we now have an upgraded a5x chip this is an extremely fast tablet go ahead and watching something like Angry Birds that's been stored in memory it'll launch very very quickly there you go angry birds space go ahead and get your space camion actually can check out a full review we did of this game it's actually been one of my favorite games out there but things just work and they work very well new look beautifully what beautiful wall you're doing them it's going to take a look at something like infinity blade which traditionally has a very long load time it's currently one of the most graphically intensive games but it looks absolutely beautiful here the benefit of the new iPad versus the outgoing certainly quad-core graphics but we should see those benefits come in the coming months is developer start to take advantage of what the new iPad can do we need to see software optimized for the hardware so not a giant difference right now between the new iPad and the ipad d but presumably this is going to show itself as a gaming powerhouse the camera certainly better and definitely improved video quality on the new iPad is certainly improved as well 1080p video and the 5 megapixel sensor definitely takes nice pictures the speaker on this guy while looking almost the same is markedly ladder so if you use your speaker to play music or if use it for skype you're going to get a much better experience and also the built-in microphone seems to work a little bit better as well so if you're courting video you're going to get a much higher audio fidelity here so in conclusion this is very much the same iPad that we've seen before but better in almost every way but it's still far far from perfect I wish we had an improved operating system I would like to see widgets I think notifications could be revamped to be less obtrusive you've got notification center but you still have to go through a few steps access that I keep referencing back to webos the way I handled notifications I would love to see something similar baked into the next operating system iOS 6 hopefully so despite its shortcomings this is still the best tablet on the market it is head and shoulders better than anything else available from a tablet world it's the iPad then there's everything else on the phone world there are tremendous amount of phones and operating systems that work equally well in some cases a lot better than iOS but in the tablet realm the iPad certainly reigns supreme so is it worth getting yes it's absolutely worth getting if you have an iPad 2 you might want to reconsider the upgrade if you need LTE if you do a lot of traveling it's definitely going to be a reason to want to go ahead and force the upgrade if you do a lot of pictures or video chatting on your iPad you might want to consider the upgrade despite the fact the front facing camera is exactly the same the screen is certainly a nice addition but I never thought the screen on the iPad to look particularly bad have that double resolution is very nice with the 284 x 1536 but it's by no means a must-have if you're coming from an ipad one absolutely worth the upgrade if you're looking to first jump into the tablet world the new ipad is going to be a wonderful addition this is my tablet of choice this is what I carry with me when I'm on the road the ipad is a tremendous workhorse as far as media consumption goes certainly not and is not meant to be a desktop replacement you know we hear that post-pc f thrown around quite a bit the ipad certainly assuring in that era but we're not there yet I'm very curious to see what Microsoft does with windows 8 and how they bridge that gap between a true OS and a mobile OS so what do you guys think I'm jon rettinger from technobuffalo this has been a full review of the new iPad I'll see you guys in the next video bye buddy
