The biggest reason why Nexus 9 is chosen to compare with iPad Air 2 is that the Nexus 9’s 4:3 aspect ratio makes it looks like an iPad at the first glance. If a 9.7-inch iPad is too big while a 7.9-inch iPad Mini is too small for you, then the 8.9-inch Nexus 9 is a good substitute instead. The Nexus 9 is a pretty excellent tablet compared with other Android tablets and the price is much more attractive than an iPad. However, if you’re looking for a tablet with better performance in the long term, than the iPad Air 2 maybe a better choice.
