Overall Review

Apple iPad 2 64GB WiFi has brought both performance and aesthetic upgrades to the table. Powered by Apple A5 SoC, with a 1GHz dual-core ARM Cortex A9 and PowerVR graphics, and iOS5 it is said to have doubled the processing speed of the original iPad and enhanced graphic performance up to 9 times. Surprisingly, the power requirements remain the same as the same 6930mAh Lithium-ion polymer battery, which was used in iPad, keeps iPad 2 up and running for the same duration of 10 hrs.

The 64 GB of internal storage (not expandable) makes sure that you have enough memory to store all your favorite music, videos, images and install more Apps than you will possibly ever need whilst 512 MB of RAM enables you to have a lag-free experience while browsing through all your stuff and the internet. The front and back camera make their way to iPad 2 (finally!), with back camera providing 720p video recording at 30 fps. The Wi-Fi 802.11 and Bluetooth 2.1 provide wide connectivity options. To sum it up, iPad 2 does not really leap into the super tech future but with the upgraded hardware and improved aesthetics it is an absolute stunner and technological marvel of its times.
