[Steven Hackett compared the original iPad with the iPad Air 2](http://www.512pixels.net/blog/2015/1/five-years-of-ipad?ref=birchtree.me). As someone who last owned the original iPad and is getting an iPad Air 2 in a couple weeks, this comparison was awesome to see. It's half as thick and 36% lighter than the original. It also has 8x the RAM, which was my number one complaint with the 2010 iPad.

I'm getting excited!
