iPad 2 Review

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past couple of months, you probably know that the infamous Cupertino-based company named after a fruit have released the iPad 2. 

The second iteration to the iPad 2 contains a 1GHz CPU named the 'Apple A5' that boasts significantly better load times and performance on pretty much all applications. The Graphics, too have been upgraded to be about 9x faster and generally better than the last one. Finally the RAM has been beefed up to 256MB compared to the previous 256MB. Games and apps feel noticeably faster than the previous iPad, web browsing especially, which is also thanks to the update to Safari and the inclusion of the new 'Nitro' javascript engine. 

The design is 33% thinner and about 0.2 pounds lighter making it feel way better in the hand, than the previous iPad, and in general. 

The iPad 2 also has a new front facing VGA camera and an HD 720p back facing camera. Both, in my opinion feature subpar video quality, but do the job. 

Overall the iPad 2 is an outstanding device and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't have an iPad, and to those that had the first one.
