Read this interesting article online.

I was actually quite torn between getting either the new iPad Air or iPad Mini 2 to replace my current iPad Mini. I love the real estate of the large screen and what hindered me from carrying my old iPad 3 was the weight. With that I thought I would wait for both these products to launch and then try it out at the shop before deciding on purchasing it.

Then I read the article above and it got me thinking. I remembered during the keynote that I made a mental note that the new tablets didn't support the new AC Wifi specs and I thought what a bummer. Now some may think that what is the difference since most of the time the Wifi isn't used to consume so much data right? Well the fact that I use PLEX as my media server and it streams to all my tablet devices for me to watch movies wherever I am in my house so with the AC WIFI spec, I can stream higher quality media.

Damn, now I am quite torn about upgrading.

The current "N" specs already good enough, provided with Unifi, i can stream most HD video without the need to let it buffer. Technology have been advancing day by day, you cant catch up with it, unless you got way too much money to spend.
