**The New 2017 iPad: A Comprehensive Review**

Hey guys, this is Austin! Linus: What camera do I look at? Linus: Im helpless, this is not my studio There's only one camera.... Linus: I QUIT! Linus: Hey guys, this is Austin Not bad actually... And today we're here, with the brand new 330 dollar iPad So, as a guy who's done an unboxing or two, would you like to have the honor? Linus: oh yes So with an Apple product, you want to... NOOOO! *laughing* OH NOOO! This hurts, this hurts! ooh! Linus: Look now I made a handle :) AND YOU DO IT UPSIDE DOWN!

Power cable, lightning cable, no one cares about any of that What I care about, is the actual iPad When was the time you used an iPad? Linus: I use an iPad like every day or two? Yeah, which one do you use? Linus: I have iPad Two Oh look at that! real homebutton Linus: Oh does it actually... Thats a real homebutton Linus: Oh I'm surprised!

So this is..., I don't even know the proper name for this is Its the 5th gen iPad, but some people call it the 7th gen because its the 7th one... Its also the cheap one, so its not an iPad Air or Pro It's the 2017 iPad So what's interesting about this iPad, its sort of a Frankenstein of a few different models.

So this is the chassis of the iPad Air One, which is a little bit thicker than the Two and the Pro Because of that, it should have a much bigger battery actually. Linus: Yeah It also has the same processor, the A9, from the iPhone 6s Which even though is not the newest thing, its still better than what was at the previous iPad Air Two However, what is NOT new, which is actually originally from the iPad Air One, is the display.

Linus: Yeah So it's no longer laminated, which means that it still looks fine, they say its supposed to be a bit brighter Although I don't really know if I believe that or not. But what is interesting about it, is that you can actually kinda see theres like a lot more air gap Its still a good display, its still Retina, but it is definitely a downgrade from something like the Air Two or the Pro.

Linus: I think thats the worst airgap I have ever seen on a Apple device Linus: Okay, but it does have some redeeming qualities Yes. Linus: So the fact were using newer, low power hardware and... Its the iPhone, so its not an iPad specific chip! Linus: No, and that we have a thicker chassis is that battery life on this thing should be like Stupid Linus: the bees knees.

Linus: So basically this, is like an all-day laptop with a 60 watt hour battery. So essentially this is a little over half the size of that, but obviously a tablet's gonna eat a lot less power than whats it like an i5, i7? Linus: yes, its like a dual core i5 Does anyone have an issue with iPads and battery life? I feel like iPads are one of those things that they kinda just last forever, you plug them in every few days, I mean.

Linus: Unless you actually use your iPad a lot If its like you use it as your main computer Linus: Yeah I mean... Which is not crazy Its not crazy, infact So for comparison, this is the iPad Pro 9.7".

I think if you want a cheaper tablet I mean for $330 you're getting in to not budget territoryBut its lot cheaper than like traditional $500 iPadLinus: Im a little excited to think that maybe Apple is finally listeningLinus: They made it a little bit thicker and they but a big fat battery on itYesLinus: And that's something that I think im not the only user who's been asking for itSo what do you guys think about the new iPad?Let us know in the comments below and I guess you could go check Linus out, he has a channel that is kind of decent I guessPlease do not drop my iPad, like thatLinus: Didn't drop it
