iPad vs iPad Air: With a $170 price gap, is the Air still worth the premium?<div class="feat-image">

</div><p>Apple has two great, affordable iPads that most people consider: the base iPad, and the iPad Air. Over time, these iPads have always been relatively similar, making it a rather interesting debate. With current deals, theres only $150 between these two iPads, which really begs the question: should you pay more for the iPad Air, or save some money with the base iPad?</p>
