As you might expect the casing is of course plastic, finished in a smart, bluish grey that does a fair job of simulating metal while feeling strong enough for day to day usage. This choice of material also has the advantage of making the C720 a lightweight 2.76lbs, so throwing it in your backpack and heading out for the day doesn’t end in sore shoulders. For a cheap, little machine it also packs a fair amount of ports, with HDMI, SD card reader, and two USB slots, one of which is USB 3....

Apple devoted a considerable amount of stage time to launch the iPad Air 2 but mere seconds for the iPad mini 3. It’s easy to see why: there was barely anything to say. Apple made only three changes, one of which is the addition of gold as a colour option, and another is the removal of 32GB as a storage option.
