The iPad 2 is 0.34 inches thick, about 33% thinner than its predecessor. People who enjoy reading will love the thinner body: Cradling an iPad 2 in your hands for an hour doesn’t feel that cumbersome. You will also be surprised how often you will be using the tablet with one hand. Even though it is only a few ounces lighter than the older iPad (1.3 pounds versus 1.5 pounds), the changes to the tablet’s weight and ergonomics feel substantial.
Price: $500 to $830
