I received my ipad as a christmas gift over a year ago and I loved it I absolutely like the sleek and clean design but I was skeptical about its durability I have no problem with it at all and I have used it a lot its definitely a gadget that you can count on working when you need it to work the retina display is so great to watch movies on the go, but I do wish speaker had the better sound games and other demanding apps runs smoothly on the gadget as apps have advanced I have been able to use my ipad as a laptop well worthy to buy if you are considering it
