Is The iPad 2 Worth Purchasing?

By Steven Amalia


The iPad 2 has been in the news, so most of us know that it now available. There is constantly a great deal of hype when it comes to Apple products. Is this due to Apple's product line being great or simply racket from their hardcore fan base? From an unprejudiced point of view, I think it is a combination of these. Following on one year from when the original iPad was released, the iPad 2 is now available. In the rest of this article, I will look at what has changed with this new offering and if switching to the iPad 2 is something you should do.

When it comes to physical size, the iPad 2 is smaller in comparison to the first iPad. The iPad 2 is slimmer by approximately 33% of the original although the screen dimensions remain unaltered. At 600 grams, the iPad 2 is much lighter. That's light. These changes are touchable as I observed by holding the iPad and iPad 2. It would be a wrong assumption to think that this skinnier, lighter version does not operate as well.

Don't forget that you can also download ipad movies. The iPad 2 is a lot faster than the initial one. First up, Apple touts that its graphics processor is nine times speedier than the original iPad. If that is accurate, it is a significant jump forward. The reason for this improvement is for demanding games and the camera, which we'll discuss soon. An A5 chip means that Apple likewise now has a processor that is a great deal faster. The A5 chip possesses a dual core processor and it makes a difference to the speed of the new iPad. Irrespective of what I was using, I could distinguish that it was faster. Loading time is faster and I observe this when using the web and video functions on both iPad models.

The iPad 2 now has two cameras. The first camera is on the front side and the second camera is on the back. This is a big move as the original iPad had no camera at all and this may be crucial to you. A more or less better capability of one of the cameras is the ability to shoot in 720p HD. The iPad 2 included FaceTime and Photobooth, giving you the ability to video call and snap all kinds of pictures. The back camera, when running FaceTime on the iPad, shows where you are as opposed to the front camera that permits you see each other.

Upgrading from the iPad to the iPad 2 is, I would state, for people who feel the need for the speedier processors and are able to afford it. Although the upgrades are an improvement, it's nothing serious, apart from maybe the camera which is a brand new addition.
