[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1671524, member: 38864"] I've always felt that the iPad was too heavy to hold comfortably for extended periods, and further felt that the iPad mini was just too small, at least to my liking. I'll even go so far to say that they've been underpowered/underspecced to some degree all along. My previous iPad, the iPad 4, was a perfect example of this. It performed single tasks well enough, but I usually found that Safari couldn't keep more than one tab cached at a time. It was just too short on RAM for what the software demanded of it. The iPad Air 2 changed all that. My wife had gotten one and after using it for a week myself, I couldn't go back to the iPad 4. I just couldn't. The weight was perfect. Everything was nice and snappy. And having gotten used to TouchID on my iPhone, the lack of it on the iPad 4 was depressing. If iOS 9 proves to be everything they say it is, then the performance will only improve. My sole beef is that it vibrates too much if you turn the volume up a bit. I'm not sure if there's a practical solution to this given how thin and light it is though. EDIT: I just noticed that this is a necro-thread that someone resurrected from the dead. *slaps forehead* I thought you had one already. [/QUOTE]
