If you have an iPad 2, 3 or 4, the new Air 2 will make a big difference. Its thinness and lightness will be a dramatic change, and it will be faster and more fluid. However, hereâ€™s the catch: Upgrading to last yearâ€™s iPad Air would have pretty much the same effect, and that model is now, suddenly, $100 cheaper, starting at $399.
