Which one should I choose?
Information given is based on http://store.apple.com/us/ipad/compare.
The first choice to make is between a full-size iPad Air and an iPad mini with Retina display. The iPad mini is a very different device than the iPad mini with Retina and does not meet Holy Family’s minimum requirements. iPad mini with Retina is often considered to be an overall better device than the iPad Air, as the small size reduces both weight and cost. It weighs 0.73 lbs and has a diagonal screen size of 7.9 in, and costs $499 for a 32 GB WiFi model. The smaller screen makes the places a student needs to tap smaller and harder to hit. Students with vision issues may find it easier to see the slightly larger screen elements and text on an Air. It weighs one pound and has a diagonal screen size of 9.7 in, and costs $599 for a 32 GB WiFi model. Other than the size and $100 cost difference, iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina are identical.
This example only compared the current-model iPads. The previous model iPad 4 also meets Holy Family School’s requirements. They should be available at significantly lower cost than iPad Airs, but this choice must be carefully considered. The 4 and Air have identical screens, but the 4 has a noticeably larger and heavier body. The weight difference between Air and 4 is even larger than that between Air and mini with Retina. The processor of the iPad Air is much faster than the already capable iPad 4. This shortens intensive tasks like exporting videos from iMovie or smooths live effects in Green Screen. It does not appreciably affect more typical tasks like web browsing and writing presentations. The speakers and microphone in the 4 are mono, and stereo in the Air. This improves sound quality of recordings and listening without headphones.
