Which is ideal for me?" and "How do you connect an iPad to a television or projector to display photos or video?" and everything in between about the latest iPad line and all earlier models.

For those more interested in increasing the performance of their existing Mac than tablets, EveryMac.com's freshly updated Mac Upgrades section has all upgrade related Q&As on a single page for your convenience.

Finally, EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated with many more identifiers for recent Macs and devices from hands-on inspection and submissions by helpful readers. Thank you very much to those who contributed info from recent purchases. It is appreciated always.
