Advantages Very portable. Great graphics. Helps me to stay connected. Good storage.
Disadvantages Screen glare in bright light. No USB port. Sound is quiet.

I have had the Apple iPad Wi-Fi 16GB since it was released in the UK on May 29th 2010. I remember the date exactly because it was my birthday and it was bought for me as a birthday present. I wanted one because I had bought into all the hype....it was a gadget that I probably didn't "need", but one which I really really wanted! And yes, I am spoilt and so what I wanted.....I got! What Is It? In case you haven't been on the planet for the last year I'll just briefly describe what an iPad is. An IPad is basically a handheld mobile computer device which is really a cross between an iPhone 4 and ... more

Not an Eye dressing! iPad 16gb 11/04/2012

Advantages Portable, quality, good battery life, brilliant for films
Disadvantages No case with purchase to protect it, no Flash player

Well, Apple really set the standards in modern day technology and the iPad is definitely no exception! This tablet computer really started something and now many other top names are bringing out their own versions such as the Galaxy tab, Blackberry's version, and HP have recently launched their version. The iPad is really the ultimate in portable computing being less then a centimetre thick and weighing approx 1.5 lbs it's a solid, quality piece of kit. It's has a 9.7" backlit high resolution screen and a cool metal silver backing. The screen is a smooth glass finish and allows easy sliding ... more

It's iMazing! 09/10/2012

Advantages Looks great, super fast
Disadvantages Takes a long time to charge, gets a little hot during use

This is my review of my recently purchased Apple the new iPad 16gb in white. I am by no means a technology expert, so if you are looking for a review from one, look elsewhere! This review is simply of the iPad from my point of view. Why did I decide to buy the iPad? I decided to buy the iPad as my laptop is on its last legs, and instead of replacing it with another laptop I thought that the iPad would be sufficient to meet my needs. I basically wanted it for surfing the Internet, as well as somewhere to store photos, music, videos etc. I am also keen on watching catch up tv on the Internet via ... more

Part toy, part tool - not quite both. 06/02/2012

Advantages Great fun, excellent hardware
Disadvantages Not all that useful

After deliberating for a few months I picked up an iPad around a year after its original release. I had spent hours and hours playing with one, there is a local Apple shop where I live, to try and be sure I was making the right decision. At almost £500 (and they can lose a lot of their value if you want to resell, good luck getting £300 for a box, good condition iPad if your not planning on selling directly to another customer) its a big decision to make and you want to be certain you are going to get a lot out of it. I wanted make sure it was a product I could use on the go, use at home and ... more

Apple iPad Wi-Fi 16gb 01/07/2010

Advantages HD screen, multi-touch facility
Disadvantages Lack of iPhone apps converted to iPad size, quite pricy

Being a fan of most products Apple have released, I was very intrigued when they announced the iPad - what is seen by most people as their answer to the netbook niche of the market. Having an old PowerBook laptop which is on it's last legs and is mostly used for web browsing, I decided to find out a bit more and kept up to date with it's development up until the pre-order date I arrived. I decided to go for the entry level 16gb WiFi only model at £429. It also comes in 32 & 64gb WiFi only and 16, 32 & 64gb WiFi + 3G which needs a separate contract with a mobile phone provider in order to use ... more

Apple ipad 16gb 14/11/2011

Advantages Easy to use, great apps,
Disadvantages Quite fragile

We decided as a household that we would really love an Ipad, as most people would but we couldn’t really afford one. However, when the Ipad2 was launched, we found the original ipads came down in price and my partner was offered a really good deal through his orange contract whereby we managed to get the ipad itself for just £99.00 so we thought whilst it was so cheap we would grab one while we could. As with all other ipads, this one is available with different memory sizes such as 16gb, 32gb and 64gb but as this was an offer we knew we would be likely to end up with the 16gb one, and we did ... more

An innovative device from Apple 13/10/2012

Advantages Many useful features and easy to use around the house
Disadvantages A larger screen than devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note

A couple of months ago I decided to buy an iPad to add to my collection of electrical devices. I had seen many of my friends use their iPads and knew that they loved using it. I purchased my iPad from Argos for £329, which I thought was a reasonable price. For those who don’t know what an iPad is, it is essentially a tablet computer which combines the functionalities of a laptop and an iPhone. As the name suggests, it is a pad which thin and lightweight, only 600g, so is easy to carry around with you. The height of the pad is 24.12cm, the width is 18.57cm and the depth is 0.88cm. For those ... more

Try the iPad 28/06/2010

Advantages it is strong and light
Disadvantages apps instead of programs

When the Apple iPad was announced I didnt really want one as it did not seem to be able to do what a full computer did and because it cost about six hundred pounds it seemed like a waste of money. Luckily my work were able to get hold of a couple and now there is a 16 gigabyte version in the office. The design is amazing and it is incredibly thin and also easy to get started, there is no need for instructions as you are ready to go straight away. When you pick it up it feels light but also well made and the glass screen is really tough and is difficult to scratch. it works like an iPhone in ... more

iPad, a revolutionary tablet computer 06/05/2010

Advantages Really quick and convenient
Disadvantages can't think of any yet really!!

Recently got hold of an iPad from my cousin coming from the US. I didn't look at it for long yet but already I think I can tell you a lot about its features and interface to help you make your decision about this revolutionary device. Design: Its thin body and essentially unibody structure is reminiscent of the current Macbook. In your hands, it really feels like you're holding a unopened large book. It's made to be very light and is thus very natural to use. The screen is very large and graphics are extremely clear, much to my surprise (I'll have to take good care of that...). Movies and ... more

The Ipad - A great product, but is it worth the price? 30/07/2010

Advantages good look and feel, portable, fashionable, useful, many applications
Disadvantages expensive, no usb port, prefer laptop

Before I bought the Ipad, I was a little weary. I own a HP laptop, many other apple products such as the Ipod Classic. I also have a Desktop PC, and so was a little concerned as to whether I would get full utility out of this product. Afterall, it is designed to be like a tablet pc, and has many applications such as email, word processing, book reading, music, etc. My top question to myself was, 'well what can I do that is different on the Ipad?' I took the plunge anyway, and with quite a big hole in my pocket, wrapped myself in desire with my new Ipad. First impressions were good, I loved the ... more
