The size is one of the best thing about the Ipad, it's neither too big nor too small and the screen is big, bright and clear and there's just so much you can do.

iPad 2 by Tommy-Sixx-Morais (Jul, 2012)

The screen is great for reading in dark and well lighted areas and the text unless very small is easy to read.

Fact of the matter is Apple displays are nice, and set a good benchmark, however they have been surpassed by newer technologies and better resolutions on many fronts.

iPad 2 by S.-Lir (Feb, 2012)

On another note, I am happy that Samsung manufactures the retina display for Apple.

I agree that because applications are similar and they both share the same iOS, the experience might not seem that different, but once you get your hands on it, the bigger screen, the dual core processor, larger memory and longer battery result in much much better overall experience.

iPad 2 by GabrielArg (Jun, 2011)

The faster 1 ghz dual core A5 processor is a workhorse.

The processor on the iPad 2 features the Dual-Core A5 chip, whereas the original only has the A5 chip, but upon consistent use, the speed appears to be about the same.

iPad 2 by Teri-Feller (Apr, 2011)

With a new dual-core A5 processor under the hood, Apple is claiming to have doubled performance speed overall, and boosted gaming graphics by nine times.

Reviews Word on the street

	Rated 83% Read the review (Mar, 2011) Editors' note (October 23, 2012): While Apple now sells a fourth-generation iPad with a faster A6X processor and a Lightning connector and a smaller 7.9-inch iPad Mini, the 16GB iPad 2 reviewed here remains on the market ($399 for the Wi-Fi version, $529 for the AT&T 3G or Verizon 3G version).

	Rated 85% by 1131 users at amazon.com All in all, I rate the iPad 2 an A.

I have a laptop and I don't think an iPad is a good replacement for a tablet or a computer but it's good for a quick browse on the internet or to play games or music.

Wifi

You are at the mercy of the wi-fi gods, hoping to find free wi-fi spots, and paying to use hotel wi-fi unless you're lucky and they comp it.

Apple iPad 2 32 GB, WiFi + Verizon 3G, White | Rated 60% by by JohnnyC

Watching movies and surfing the web over WiFi is a joy, especially compared to the iPhone 4 which I have and love, but the limited browsing capabilities of the iPhone is enough to make you want for something larger.
