The iPad air feels lighter than the Retina Mini

Artists will also be appalled by the depleted gamut.



IPad 3 and 4, iPhone 5, 5s (not sure about 5c) have 100% coverage of the sRGB gamut. Only the Mini 1 and 2 seem to be cut back to 63% coverage.
True, that's exactly my point.

And while the Retina Mini may be handy for those purposes, it is not a dedicated or special device for photography. It's actually an "all around" tablet for browsing, games, reading and reviewing or taking some pictures too.

But saying that the tablet display is poor because the differences in gamut, it's an over statement.

I'm not a fan boy, and I get a device depending of what I will use it for, support, etc. But between a Nexus and an IPad mini, I personally will take the Mini, just because the IOs ecosystem and Apple support. I would not compare the iPad air against the Nexus though, or any other 7 inches tablet. The regular iPad is a different animal. Not only bigger but more expensive as well.
