All about iPad mini part.I



Apple has always defended its size 10 ", suitable for single shelf, which is loved mostly by Steve Jobs. But now, the market pressures eventually convince Cupertino to work on a smaller model.

At its output, the 1.0 iMac was also equipped with a 15 "screen (not 17, yet became the norm), the iPhone is stuck 5 years with its 3.5" ... Almost every time, Steve Jobs came to defend their choices, dictated by him, by compromise and ergonomic techniques. Thus, with its 10-inch diagonal, the iPad was as iPapy-format ideal for use that flowed for reading magazines, surfing the net, watching videos proves that Jobs was not wrong.

iPad mini: the best, despite without its Retina screen - III

Performance

One can imagine an update will be available to correct these few teething problems related to the screen. The balance sheet remains very positive, however, as performance tests conducted by some testers. The iPad mini is only entitled to the A5 chip from the iPad 2, in theory less powerful than the chip A5X the new iPad released in the spring, but tests conducted by Engadget show different results.
