Why not save a bit more and you can buy yourself a Macbook Air. Has great battery life and you can really do some work on it... Why would you need an iPad? If it has to be a tablet, wait for the new Nexus 9...

But don't spend that kind of money on a tablet....

Nexus 9 I'd recommend. Best gaming performance!

iPad Air 2 is also good.
So the thing here is if you're a Apple Fanboy go for iPad Air 2, else go for Nexus 9.

It's HTC made with a Tegra K1 and a possible 2560x1600 screen from the specs it's worth it providing the price is right.

 

no its not,

you are thinking of the nexus 9

 

which is 4:3 and has identical resolution as the ipad

well if you want gaming I'd probably say Shield Tablet > Nexus 9

it's cheaper, has similar performance and gets exclusive games and gaming features.

I really dont care about games. Watching movies and surfing on the internet is main thing. Samsung pro 32gb cost $400 and had big screen.

But it's TouchWiz. My friend has a Tab Pro and the UI still has noticeable lag, even though the tablet has a lot of power.

 

Check out the Xperia Tablet Z2
