Well it came on a Friday. Fedex said it would be Thursday. I usually don\u2019t track something by the hour, but this one I did. All the way from China. <\/p>\n
It took a few hours to copy all my settings to it from my old one, do the same for my wife\u2019s, and then give hers to our 9yr old. Yes, she now has an iPad. Kids don\u2019t think ahead usually, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see if she keeps it charged.<\/p>\n
So do I like it? Yes! I can tell it\u2019s thinner. Feels the same weight tho. It\u2019s faster. It has cameras now, but they\u2019re poor quality and I haven\u2019t used them much. <\/p>\n
But for someone like me that replaced their laptop with an iPad, these improvements are worth it.<\/p>\n
The old iPad is on sale now and I\u2019m sure the used ones on eBay will depreciate as well.<\/p>\n
I bought the smart cover. It doesn\u2019t protect the back, but keeps the whole package thin. It\u2019s cool and great for the minimalist. We will see if it holds up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
