By now, you’re probably well aware of the remarkable iPad 2, perhaps even after watching Steve Jobs’ iPad 2 movie review. Well, I got one myself, and I absolutely adore everything about it. In this section, I’d like to highlight five aspects that I appreciate the most about this cutting-edge gadget.

  1. It’s incredibly slim. The iPad 2 is 33% thinner than the original iPad, measuring just 0.88 centimeters in thickness. It’s as light as a typical wristwatch. 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. As Jobs stated, the new iPad has “about 9x faster graphics.” So, if you’re a gamer, you’ll undoubtedly appreciate your new little friend – the iPad 2. It also features front and rear-facing cameras, allowing you to capture photos, shoot videos, and more.
  3. Long-lasting battery life of up to 10 hours. To test the device’s battery performance, I played a movie purchased from the iTunes Store on repeat until the battery was depleted. I maximized the screen brightness, connected to a local Wi-Fi network, and set the volume low. Here’s the great news! Despite its increased processing power, improved graphics, and smaller size, the iPad 2 actually outlasted the original iPad by an impressive 3% in terms of battery life.
  4. The GarageBand application is a sheer delight. Imagine being able to get one step closer to creating quality music without any knowledge of musical notation. Playing the guitar Strumming Practicing The Guitar - Practicing the guitar takes time and dedication. Learning to play the instrument requires consistent practice, but it doesn't guarantee that you'll become a rock star. Nonetheless, with regular practice and skill development, you can still achieve proficiency. There are two methods to start strumming a guitar: using your fingers or using a pick. Find a… on the iPad 2 is truly a unique experience. If you’re considering getting an iPad 2, the GarageBand application is an absolute must-have. It’s available for just $4.99 at the App Store, and whether you’re passionate about music or simply enjoy playing around on your computer, I assure you that you won’t find anything more enjoyable than this application.
  5. Reasonable pricing. With models starting at $429, even those on a budget can partake in the joy of owning an iPad. The more advanced models, packed with luxurious features, can go up to $700. I acquired mine for $499, which I don’t consider to be overly expensive.

Conclusion:

The iPad 2 boasts numerous additional and delightful features, but I simply don’t have the time to mention them all here. My review focuses solely on what I love about this product. Therefore, if you wish to learn more about this remarkable high-tech device, I recommend watching the full iPad 2 Analysis Video or exploring other iPad 2 reviews.
