Build & service
80

Solid aluminium, 477 g; no IP rating

Each part is rated on one scale for every tablet, from reviewers' measurements (battery tests, brightness, benchmarks) where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports, including after-sales service. It rates the tablet itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Plenty of speed with barely any heat
  • Solid metal body
  • Flicker is too fast for most people to notice
  • Clear voices from the stereo speakers
  • Long standby/call endurance
  • Handles daily tasks smoothly
  • Light and well made

Cons

  • Basic 60 Hz screen: no P3 colour, no anti-glare layer, not laminated
  • Wide bezels
  • Slow USB 2 port and few Bluetooth codecs
  • Only one year of warranty
  • Below-par battery score for a tablet (9 h 26 min)
  • About 2 hours to charge, no charger in the box
  • Sound a bit thin, average loudness
  • NotebookcheckApr 2025

    Quick, cool-running and nicely built, but the screen is where Apple saved money.

  • GSMArenaMar 2025

    Battery life is fine rather than great for a tablet, charging is slow, and the speakers are just average.

  • Tech AdvisorMar 2025

    A great first iPad for everyday use; owners of the 10th-gen model and heavy users should look elsewhere.
