David Pierce at The Verge:
Long story short: it looks and feels like a larger (but not that much larger) iPad mini, and that’s mostly a really good thing. It’s really beautiful, with cleaner bezels, a much thinner profile, and sharper, boxier edges.
It looks great. I really like the slimmer profile and smaller bezels. The other big change is the weight; only 469 grams (down from 652).
They start from AUD$598 and will be available in store in Australia in 2 colours (Space Grey & Silver) from November 1st.
