    I'd get this, but change the 970 for the 960 becuase it will be cheaper and then it will cost under $1000

    Simple cars are underrated. My 02 focus has no power windows, no power locks, no anti-lock brakes, no traction control, no automatic, no nothing. I love it. It really is hard to beat the reliability of simple things.

    Well it is just my opinion, i like cars stock, maybe with some accesories if they make a big change on driving the car. I don't like big exhausts they just look too tacky imho.
     
    Speaking of which i just found a bmw 316i (the slowpoke one) but i fall in love with it, it is a 1 owner base model (no airbags, no electric windows, cloth seats, black bumpers and hubcaps) but it is in such a good shape and is such a simple car, I would love to buy it and keep it stock.

    Yes, that is true with most things in life but at lest you get more hardware and manufacturer choice in the android space compared to the apple space, for example i would never own an htc device because i have seen the internals and they are a mess, but my motorola phone pretty much everything comes out easily just by taking a couple of screws.
     
    And also apple devices usually last much longer than others because if its superior build quality but when they do break they do become annoying (some of them)

    Well let me start with this: This is my first experience with an iOS device (for longer than a couple of minutes) so forgive me if I say something wrong, but this is my opinion, so here we go:
    So, the device that I got for free 6 months ago now has to be returned, I spent it using it as much as I could even ignoring my netbook while traveling, the device is a 1st gen iPad mini 32gb with cellular in slate (black) color.
     
    Design: IMO the design Is very well executed, as with most apple products, it feels solid although the thin and light body makes it feel a little bit fragile but you get used to (haven’t used it with a case), the materials are of very high quality and the only plastic you see is in the home button and the antenna at the top which are also quite nice quality. I think this color looks better than the new “space grey” one and while it may not be as scratch resistant I had no issues with it, although the chamfered edges do get dinged up and the soft aluminum has chipped off on the headphone jack area. The buttons feel great and the headphone/lightning ports are nice and stiff.
     
    Cameras: The least important part of a tablet so let me say that they are ok but you do look stupid taking photos with it.
     
    Ports: One gripe that I have is the non-standard lightning connector, yes it is much better than micro usb but the included cable sucks and the adapters cost a fortune! Hopefully Apple will adopt usb someday but for now it is the only brand who has these exclusive kind of cable (no external storage for cheap for you!).
     
    Audio: It impressed me it was loud in both the headphone jack and speakers although obviously the speakers had no bass and the worst part is that they are not front facing, why apple, why? Also the mic was good for making skype calls.
     
    Display: every review shitted on the display but I disagree, yes it is not retina (although now it is in the 2nd and 3rd gen) but it is bright and has nice colors, although it is a fingerprint magnet as with most glossy touch displays out there. And for web browsing the aspect ratio is great although you will get black bars when watching a video but it is not a big deal.
     
    Performance: it is a mixed bag, it has I believe the same cpu as the iPhone 4s but with better graphics so it does slowdown in games and even the animations inside ios 8 but the worst part is the 512mb of ram, this thing is not able to have 2 tabs of chrome before either crashing or freezing the other tabs and having to reload, also multitasking sucks I don’t know if that is an iOS feature or the device fault but multitasking in android works so much smoother even in a device with the same amount of ram.
     
    OS: Now as I said this is my first experience with an iOS device and first I am going to say the thing I like, the apps are really well made, all of them were really pretty and were cohesive with the design language of the OS, but man it is confusing to go from a device with a back button, home and multitasking to one with a single button that has 3 funtions one tap to go home which thanks to the lack of ram when I go back to the app it has to start over, two taps for multitasking and press and hold for siri (which btw It works really well if you live in the US, which I don’t) the back button is inside the app and some apps have it in different places which confuses me, also sometimes to get to options you have to long press, other times you have to swipe, why can’t be a options menu inside all apps? But again most questions got resolved thanks for the popularity of the os, a quick google search cleared my questions. Another important thing is that this device launched in late 2012 and is now running a pretty stable version of the latest iOS 8.1.2 and that is impressive, although you do notice running much slower and crashing more often than the iOS 6 that it came out, for comparison my Motorola phone launched in early 2013 is running 4.4.2 which is not the latest version of android and it is not 100% stable. Something else that there is much less crap in the app store compared to android and windows which is a really good thing for novice users.
     
    In conclusion I feel that this device is going to be better with apple people, I didn’t fully got used to it and iTunes in windows still sucks and I think if you had a Mac + iPad + iPhone + AppleTV + iTunes your experience would be much better because it does feel like it was designed to live in that environment and I just have this one, which can’t even communicate to my phone or transfer data (unless they are photos) without using a program made by its parent company, I would totally recommend to anyone who owns at least 2 more apple devices but as it is I would much rather have an expandable, cheaper although with a more limited app store android or windows tablet.

    coming form experience:
    iTunes on Mac is just as stupid and slow, not even starting about iPhone (i have prob about 200 photo's in it and it's slow as f*ck).
    My iPad and iPhone both have 1GB RAM and even that's too low. They can hardly keep track of 2 tabs without closing it's really annoying. They should stop being ingorant and put 2GB in iPhone and 3GB in iPad (and do that a year ago).
     
    Personally i just can't stand the lack of quality in Android apps and the random performance drops of it.
    I used WP8 too, but it just misses to many apps and, at least at the time, ie10 didnt work well with all websites.
