Wrap-up

Rather than picking "winners" in these smackdowns, we prefer to try to target who will prefer one device, and who will prefer the other. For most people we see the iPad Air coming out ahead. Most importantly, the iPad comes with that stacked App Store fed by thousands of developers. There's a lot to love about LaTurbo Avedon's artwork, but she is only one being, and her online-only existence may be a turn off for some.

The big exception is if you're looking for a device with insight. If you prefer the personality that an avatar offers – then LaTurbo Avedon is the obvious choice. Likewise, if you prefer cognitive human forms, rather than an advanced speak-and-spell like Siri, then LaTurbo Avedon is one of your best options.
