Take a Look at the iPad and iPad mini

Apple’s iPad is the most popular tablet computer on the market. Powerful, elegantly designed, and easy to use, the iPad can take over many of the tasks you normally perform on your desktop or laptop computer, such as surfing the web, exchanging e-mail messages, desktop publishing, and playing video games.

The iPad mini is a smaller iPad that packs almost all of the iPad’s features into a smaller form factor.

The Difference Between iPad and iPad mini

The iPad has a 9.7-inch screen with 2048-×1536-pixel resolution at 264 pixels per inch, or ppi. The iPad mini has a 7.9-inch screen with 1024-×768-pixel resolution at 163 ppi.

Although the difference in diagonal measurements is less than 2 inches, the iPad mini’s screen is only just over half the size of the iPad’s screen, making the iPad mini much smaller and more easily portable.

The iPad measures 9.5 inches tall × 7.31 inches wide, whereas the iPad mini is 7.78 inches tall × 5.3 inches across.

The iPad weighs around one and one-third pounds. The iPad mini weighs less than three-quarters of a pound.

iPad Storage Capacity

Both the iPad and the iPad mini come in three capacities: 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. Having more storage enables you to install more apps and carry more music, movies, and other files with you. The nearby diagram shows sample amounts of contents.
