‘Apple Unveils iPad Air’ – ‘Mashable’

Pete Pachal says, “Apple unveiled the fifth generation of the iPad on Tuesday at an event in San Francisco, called the iPad Air. The new model sports a thinner design and a 64-bit processor, a feature first seen in the iPhone 5S.The physical design is lighter and thinner. Where the previous iPad was 1.4 pounds, the iPad Air weighs just 1 pound. The thickness drops about 20% — from 9.4 millimeters to 7.5mm (0.30 inch). The bezel surrounding the screen is thinner, too, shrinking by 43% and closer in proportion to the bezel on the iPad mini. Apple says the iPad Air is the lightest “full-size” tablet in the world“.
