![]() ![]() So has Apple brought its darling first tablet into the modern age? Or are we witnessing an iPad identity crisis? This is most evident in the design, this 10th-generation tablet having shed its monochromatic shell in favour of bright hues and squared-off edges. First introduced back in 2010, this year marks the biggest change the standard iPad has undergone yet. The iPad has officially hit double digits with its latest iteration. The HD 10’s ‘Dolby Atmos’ integrated dual stereo speakers are somewhat optimistically branded but the sound with music and films is convincing and emotive, with plenty of detail across the frequencies and a pleasing, realistic musical build.Īs long as you're happy to use Amazon's apps, this remains a great bargain buy. Admittedly that comes at a slight cost of the more natural approach of its predecessor but it's certainly just as good in overall picture performance. When it comes to TV and movies, colour temperature accuracy has improved and there's a definite shift to a punchier, more contrasty and slightly sharper feel. It's gone down in size and weight just enough to make it feel a lot more manageable to hold and use, particularly with one hand – and that's all without reducing the 10.1in display, its aspect or pixel count in any way. The real key change, though, is the physical form of this tablet. There's a boost for resolution to the rear-facing camera, support for higher-capacity microSD cards now up to 1TB, and a dual-microphone system so that Alexa can hear you better. So what's new? Not a huge amount, actually, but then the previous incarnation was already darn good and the few improvements here are small but significant. But Amazon has cracked it, yet again, with the latest version of the HD10. Improving on a previous What Hi-Fi? Award-winner was always going to be a tall task, especially without raising the price. ![]()
