Many people want to know what, if anything, makes the Ipad 2 better than the original Ipad. They may have an Ipad and wonder if it is really worth upgrading to an Ipad 2. Let’s take a look at some of the things that make the Ipad 2 better than the previous version.

The first thing to be aware of is that the new Ipad 2 has a A5 dual-core processor, which is twice as fast as the single core A4 processor that powers the original Ipad. This also means that the Ipad 2 renders graphics nine times faster than the Ipad.

The Ipad 2 is also 33 percent lighter and thinner than the original Ipad. That makes it easier for a person to carry around. The Ipad 2 weighs 1.5 pounds compared to the 1.3 pounds of the first Ipad. The Ipad 2 looks more streamlined when compared to the first model.

The Ipad 2 features dual cameras while the first Ipad doesn’t. This makes the new Ipad better for video conferencing. HDMI capability is something that the original Ipad doesn’t feature either. With the Ipad 2 you can connect your Ipad to an HDTV via HDMI and view what is on your Ipad 2 on the television.
