My one major piece of advice to you is just to NEVER buy an iPad 3. it doesn't really outperform ipad2 (mini1) and it is lacking compared to ipad4.

Argh. Of course the iPad 3 was the model I bought a couple years ago. I concur with your assessment. Brilliant screen, same relatively pokey performance compared to 4, Air, or mini retina. I should have saved money and bought the iPad 2.
