Back Panel Build quality issues for 2022 Apple iPad Air M1 India models?

2022 Apple iPad Air with Apple M1 Chip models were launched during the 2022 March Apple Event. This is the first time Apple is using the M1 chip in an Apple iPad Air series. Older models came with an A-Series chip which is also powerful. The M1 chip is a proven chipset and offers top-end performance, and is also found in Apple’s Macbook Air models as well as Mac Mini 2020 desktops.

So the performance is not an issue here. How about the built quality?

As of this writing ( March 24, 2022 ), there are currently 5 Verified Purchase reviews available on Amazon.in for the 2022 Apple iPad Air with Apple M1 Chip. All these reviewers are giving 1 Star reviews and are complaining about the back panel build quality.

All verified purchase reviews are complaining about one thing – the back panel. “Cracking noise on the back panel” complains a buyer. Another user complains “The new ipad has the worst build quality for its price“.

Read all these verified purchase reviews on Amazon.in here.

These issues are not just for Indian iPad Air models.

Check out this Reddit thread here in which other iPad Air 2022 owners have posted their concerns on the build quality of the back panel.

I ordered and received two blue iPad Air 2022 today and I’m a bit shocked. The aluminium backplate is a lot thinner than on the iPad 4 which I also have. You can almost feel the battery through the plate when you hold the device. Both iPads have the same feeling and are making creaking noises when you hold them. This did not happen on the iPad Air 4. Both are going back but is it just me? I also asked a second person and she felt it too.
Posted by mezzox33142 on Reddit.

In India, the price for iPad Air 2022 with M1 chip starts at ₹54900 for the base 64GB WiFi-only model. The WiFi + Cellular model has a price tag of ₹68900. For that price, Apple should provide a device with good build quality, looks like they somehow didn’t test the quality of the back panel enough and shipped out the devices.

Buying Advice
It’s very rare to see a new laptop launching in India in 2022 to come with a few generation old Intel 10th Generation processors. If Honor doesn’t price this right in India, it wouldn’t be a great value for money purchase as many 2021 laptops from various manufacturers use the newer 11th Gen Core i3 and Core i5 processors which are performance-wise better.

In the Cinebench R23 Single-Core benchmark Core i5 1135G7 scores 50% more and in the Multi-core benchmark, it scores +75% more. Even though the Core i5-10210U doesn’t perform as well as the Core i5 1135G7 in the benchmark, for general day-to-day tasks like web browsing, you wouldn’t notice much difference.

What about Core i5-10210U vs Core i3 1115G4 benchmark comparison?
This is a tricky one. You would think the Core i5 should perform better than Core i3, however, that’s not the case. The 11th gen Core i3 1115G4 even though is a Core i3, is a newer processor and uses a better manufacturing process – 10nm vs 14nm. The Single-core scores of the Core i3 1115G4 are actually better than the Core i5-10210U, however, Core i5-10210U performs better in the multi-core benchmark thanks to the extra 2 cores available. So, i would the Core i5 has a slight edge over the Core i3.

This laptop has 2x USB 2.0 ports and a single USB Type-C port. There is no USB 3.0 port available on this model. If you plan to use MS Office software, you would be disappointed to know this laptop doesn’t ship with MS Office Home & Student 2021 pre-installed. One other disadvantage this has over other laptops in this price range is the battery capacity. This only has got a 39WHr battery. If you plan to use it on a desk all the time, this won’t be an issue at all.

There are many verified purchase customer reviews available on Amazon.in. Check them out here to know the reasons to buy or not buy this laptop.

Buying Advice: If you are not on a budget, and would love better performance, I would suggest you get an 11th Gen Intel Core i5 powered laptop or AMD Ryzen 5 5500U Hexa-core powered laptop instead of this.
