When Apple unveiled the light iPad Air I was impressed, but in no hurry to pick one up. My iPad 4 with LTE has served me well, and there was no need to trade it in for the new Air. Even so, my gadget lust soon got the better of me and a new iPad Air will be here soon.
Regular readers of this column know that I have used the iPad 4 with LTE heavily since the purchase. I have used it for work, writing over 100,000 words with it with one external keyboard or another. It worked well in every way and I’ve had no complaints with it.

So why buy an iPad Air? Two reasons: the big speed increase with the 64-bit processor Apple has put in it and the smaller size and weight. I’m on record stating how important a 1 pound weight is for the iPad Air and that has been a draw for me.
