The ultimate goal of the research efforts is to develop a quantum fluid in this manner operable with a battery at room temperature.
Mostly to make room for a larger battery, the new iPad weighs about 8% more and is about 7% thicker than the prior model.

As you'd expect, the keyboard dock packs a second battery, though it also makes room for an optional 500GB hard drive to complement the SSD inside the actual tablet.

The tinier printer does gain portability from the size shrink (it has only has room for a 5.5-inch cube) and the ability to be powered by a battery thanks to its low power-draw.
