The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread!

Jon you want the iPad Mini 2, as far as I can tell it's the same as the "new" model without Touch ID and it costs $100 less. I'm probably going to pick one up this week for Lauren's b-day because she doesn't like to sit with a computer or even my iPad Air, so she hunches over and reads/facebooks on her phone all night.

And yes I mean read, like entire books, on her phone. :dunno: She wonders why she always has a tension headache. :roll:

Edit: I've reached the same conclusion that you have Mike, it took three full generations to coax me out of my iPad 2, the iPad 3 and iPad 4 just didn't offer enough of an improvement for me to spend the money to upgrade. I'm in a similar boat now, the Air 2 is very pretty and the anti-reflective screen is cool, but *meh,* it's nowhere close to nice enough to get me to buy it over my current one.

Edit 2: Jon check the specs: http://store.apple.com/us/ipad/compare

It's the exact same device, the touchID is a $100 upgrade basically. I'm running iOS 8 on my 5S right now with no issues whatsoever, I can't imagine the iPad would.
