iPad Air or iPad mini w/ Retina Display
Apple’s new tablets for 2013 have been improved to make the best even better. We get the 7.9inch iPad mini we wanted the 1st time as it gets the Retina treatment w/ 64-bit A7 CPU. While the full-size iPad gets a name change as the 9.7inch slate is redesigned w/ the mini’s body & faster 64-bit CPU while retaining their lengthy battery life. With a $100 difference between the two, which one to get just got a lot harder.
Nokia’s 1st tablet is as good as you hoped it to be. Now a competitor against Microsoft’s Surface, Nokia has its own features to make the Lumia tablet. With a better 1080p IPS display, a 6.7MP camera, Nokia Music/Video Director/Here Maps apps and built-in LTE on a plastic 10.1inch body. Not to mention the keyboard accessory doubles as a charging station.
