November 2 can be officially considered the birthday of Apple's new tablet. The gadget was officially introduced on this date. The technical characteristics of the iPad mini will not surprise you with its novelty. But the corporation did not set itself such tasks. The goal was to release a mini-version of a full-size tablet - in order to compete with rival manufacturers. And Apple did an excellent job.
The first thing you want to pay attention to is, of course, the laptop display. Its diagonal is now 7.9 inches. This in no way affected the resolution, which remained the same as the resolution of the iPad 2 - 1024x768 dpi. It is most popular with Internet site developers. This feature of the iPad mini makes it possible to say that the laptop is responsible for networking. This and
understandably, since tablet computers initially carried the idea of full access to the Internet. But it is worth making a reservation. The tablet is released in three versions, one of which supports only Wi-Fi. And only the two remaining work with the cellular network.
But back to the description of the mini version. The tablet has a small weight (only 310 grams). The dimensions of the case are 200 millimeters long, nearly 13 millimeters wide, and about 8 millimeters thick. This makes it possible to freely grip the tablet and fix it in the palm of your hand. However, your fingers will not close the screen. The weight characteristic of the iPad mini allows us to say with confidence that it is such a gadget that is needed on the road. There is no doubt that he will be more popular among his full-length competitors. The mini-tablet is easy to place even in a small bag or, conversely, in a large pocket.
But the Apple iPad mini, the characteristics of which we are considering, is good not only in size and weight. The good news is that all applications and programs developed for the full version are supported in the compact version without any problems.
What will the technical specifications of the iPad mini tell us regarding its internal content - the so-called hardware? The gadget runs on a dual-core processor. It is also used in the "apple" smartphones
IPhone 4 S and full-length tablet
iPad 2.If we talk about memory, the corporation did not become original with the release of the mini-version and limited itself to the familiar standard. That is, the iPad mini 16, 32, 64 GB series were born. And only one unexpected surprise gave Apple - this is the lack of a gadget in the line with a memory capacity of 8 GB.
Manufacturers equipped the tablet with two cameras. The first of them is the front with a low characteristic of 1.2 megapixels. But the second is quite worthy - at 5 megapixels - and has the functions of detecting faces, autofocus, five-element optics, video stabilization and others.
A year has passed since the official presentation of the mini-version of the "apple" tablet. And Apple is introducing a new model on the market - the iPad mini 2, whose features are improved. Such a long-awaited and familiar in the products of the corporation Ritona matrix replaced the criticized IPS. For the rest, higher screen resolution, improved camera features, a more powerful processor and some other, not so significant, moments are expected.
