CPU is very slow on the iPad 3 (it's an A5) and the GPU was barely enough to make it handle the retina.
So you have an iPad 2 with a better display, so effectively, a nice screen but really hobbled by performance. And dealing with 30 pin connectors.
I got rid of an iPad 3 for $425 GameStop credit, which is now $425 of Amazon credit on my account, as good as good cash to me.
Lol, A5 is not slow
