It might finally be time to upgrade from my first generation iPad though ;)
I do still make good use of it though, so I'm thinking a MacBook would be a better purchase for me at this time since I don't have a laptop.

They seem nervous as they present ?

iPad Air ... A7 the only wow seems to be the surprise at the name.

Anxiously awaiting to see how the iPad Air feels in my hand compared to the mini, before I decide which one I'm getting.
