So I got my ipad air but I'm not keen on the thinness or less bezel. I thought I would love it but so far I'm unconvinced and I miss my ipad 3.
Got a tip for us?

iPad Anybody not like the lightness and bezel of Ipad air?

Glue a brick to the back of the Air, and you'll feel right at home... 
Seriously, are you serious? The previous iPad bezels were silly big, and served zero purpose. I'd like to see the top and bottom bezels reduced as well, and another few ounces dropped. The Air will do for now, at least for me.

Many people here already feel it seems cheap as it's lighter.

On that topic I read it's all glued together and almost unfixable?
All of these devices are difficult to repair, but ifixit.com was able to take it apart nicely. Most of us will not be attempting to tear into these, but it's certainly done all the time by professionals. Screen breakage is probably the most common repair, but even that requires removing several components to detach the screen's electrical connections. The average car is nearly impossible to work on compared to my 1965 Mustang, but the new cars are much more reliable.
Did anyone here have a TV in the 60's and 70's?

do you seriously feel a .4 of a pound increase in a bag? just add a notebook in there if you want more weight?
I agree with the first part of your post but not about this. I feel like in landscape mode my thumbs and hands while holding it would get in the way of the screen.

I'm going to hate Apple if they decrease the 'other' bezel on the next version.
Always these baby steps with Apple....
Agreed, without a case the 4 was uncomfortable to hold for long periods (the weight and sharp corners were awful). The Air has been designed by someone who took note of the discomfit of holding the older models.
With the better shape and reduced weight it's a pleasure to use. Who needs a Mini now with the ergonomics and weight of the Air?

I don't think they'll be able to get rid of it unless the home button is removed.
Everything at MacRumors will be first world problems. The forum you're looking for is here: http://www.globalpolicy.org/world-hunger.html
Yes, it's too light and too thin. It should be double the thickness and made entirely from metal.
Ummm no. My 3 was like a brick in comparison. Sold it to gamestop today for $252.
Air is way faster and lighter. Good riddance 3.
Unless the 3 feels better than the 4 (I skipped the 3), I would dispute that. I have compared my Air to my 4, side by side and the Air looks and feels higher quality.
I don't want any bezel. I want the iPad to be all screen, and I want it as thin as a credit card and as light as a feather. In fact, I want it to float. I'll be 50 by the time it comes out.
I'm sure many of those people also associate screen size with "innovation".
People just like to find things to whine about.
