In this section, I’d like to highlight five aspects that I appreciate the most about this cutting-edge gadget.

Another feature worth mentioning is its smart magnetic cover that can also serve as a stand for your iPad 2, providing added convenience if you need it.
  2. It’s fast. Equipped with a dual-core 1 GHz processor, the iPad 2 operates at lightning speed. Not only that, but compared to the first generation of iPads, it also boasts an enhanced graphics card.
