Ipad w/ Retina Display or Ipad Air

Is the air worth the extra cash? To those of you who hate Apple I don't care what you think this is a gift for my wife. Thanks.

I just bought an air. It's got some processor differences and a better camera and stuff. Plus it's lighter, not that that matters too much. It's my second tablet and it works great, battery life is measure in weeks if your not on it constantly and the picture is great.

I bought my wife an iPad with retina last year and it's been great. Battery life is Phenominal, and it was awesome to have and travel with vs our MacBook Pro. I haven't tried the air so I can't tell you if it's better or not. I'm stingy so I'd go with the cheaper option.

Thanks guys.

We've had both. I'm not sure what the current price difference is, but the air is very nice. Super light, thin, and a little narrower. The screen cracked much easier than on previous iPads we've had, I recommend the first thing you do is put a screen protector on.

Yeah I have kids so we have awesome ones that looks like little creatures. My daughter has dropped it 100 times with no damage yet.
