iPad 2 or the New iPad? [View all]

Howdy-
I'm looking to get an iPad, but don't know which one. There doesn't appear to be much difference to me, but I'm not that tech savvy when it comes to specifications. I'm looking to replace a piece of crap Dell mini that barely functions, and I'll need the iPad for web surfing, working in the archives, and recording travel notes.

Thanks for any suggestions!

The big difference between the 2 and the 3 is the Retina display. Stinky The Clown Sep 2012 #3

I recommend a legal pad. You'd save a bundle. Kablooie Sep 2012 #4
