It is apparent that "slim cannot trim the instant dim." This is means that even if iPad Air is considered the thinnest - and most expensive - tablet available at present it cannot claim to be the fastest.
According to the reports of Which? Magazine, iPad Air is only second to Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 when it comes to the speed of processing information. Testers for the British technology magazine conducted an analysis of eight current tablets using the most demanding apps online.
The iPad Air often receives favorable reviews for its sleek and slender design, as well as being the newest flagship tablet of the biggest seller in the US. Larger than the 9.7 inch iPad Air, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has proven to be a formidable opponent. Samsung was able to cut into Apple’s tablet market share significantly on the back of the larger device. Apple still has a stranglehold on the market, but Samsung appears to be gaining, albeit at a slow pace.
However, some observers believed that even though the iPad Air came in second place in the speed test, they still consider it the market standard for tablets and expect it to continue to lead the way for tablet sales and performance for 2014.
Other tablets tested included the Amazon Kindle Fire HD and HDX, the iPad mini with Retina display, the Google Nexus and the Tesco Hudl.
Using the industry standard 'benchmarking' software called Geekbench, the testers put each tablet through its paces. The process was designed to test multi-core processor performance by simulating everyday tasks. Multiple tests are given individual scores, which are then combined and weighted to give an overall score.
According to the testers, 'a higher score means a faster tablet, so if one device has double the score of another it should be twice as speedy'. But they add that it is debatable whether differences in power will always translate into noticeable differences between various apps.
Further down the table there were some other key findings. The iPad mini with Retina display, launched last year at the same time as the iPad Air, is slower than Google's Nexus 7 and the Advent Vega Tegra Note 7" - both of which are definitely cheaper.
Going further to the lower end of the test, Tesco's budget tablet, the Hudl, performed well, beating the old iPad 2 (as did the Kindle Fire HD).
