Respectable battery life, Sturdy and lightweight, Beautiful design, Affordable*
Screen could be less reflecive, No expandable memory, No 'raise to wake'
It's hard not to compare this fifth-generation iPad to the tablets that came before it as it's essentially a hodgepodge of hardware and components Apple already had lying around with the latest iOS software slapped on top. But a Frankenstein's monster thi...
Low Price, Great screen, Very good performance, Very long battery life,
No microSD card slot, Lightning port instead of USBC
There's nothing physically innovative about Apple's latest, but it breaks new ground by being a high-end iOS tablet at a mid-range price. With a great screen, good performance, and lo-o-ong battery life, the 9.7-inch iPad is going to appeal to everyone l...

$329 is a very good price for what you get (and it's a more realistic price for a midrange tablet in 2017), Feels fast, Apple Pencil and Smart Connector aside, it can do everything an iPad Pro can do, Good battery life, iOS' tablet app ecosystem is still
No anti-reflective coating on the glass, Air gap between front glass and LCD panel makes the screen look less colorful and contrasty, and the tablet feels weirdly hollow when you're tapping on the screen
