New iPad vs. iPad 2: Which Tablet Should You Buy?

It’s here: the new iPad has arrived. But before you place your preorder or queue up outside the nearest Apple Store, make sure you aren’t dropping your hard-earned coin on the wrong slate. The iPad 2 is still an exceptional product, after all, and might be more suitable for your needs, particularly since it starts at just $399. Here’s a quick rundown of both tablets’ specs to help you decide which iPad is worth your money.

March 16,
pre-orders start today

1.33 lbs (Wi-Fi),
1.35 lbs (3G) 

2048 x 1536,
264 pixels per inch (ppi)1024 x 768, 
132 pixels per inch (ppi)

A5X Quad Core
(supposedly 2x faster,
4x graphics performance
of Tegra 3 chip)

No, but has microphone button 
with dictation support 5-megapixel CMOS sensor,
shoots 1080p HD video 960 x 720 stills,
shoots 720p video 802.11a/b/g/n + Personal Hotspot

9 hours on 4G,
10 hours on 3G

With its higher-res display, improved camera and faster CPU, the new iPad is definitely worth $100 more than its predecessor. The only reason to buy an iPad 2 is you absolutely can’t afford to pony up more than $399 or, if you’re buying the tablet as a gift for someone who won’t notice the obvious difference in screen sharpness and speed.
