The iPad Mini is a great addition to apple line of products. This tablet provides ease of you with its portable size and design. This device can easily be used by a family of all ages. The built-in camera takes very good pictures and the front facing camera is great for video chat! This device is also great for streaming homemade videos and photos taken on the iPad with the Apple TV product. Siri the built in virtual assistant makes pretty much every task a breeze like sending emails, iMessages, setting reminders and calendar invites! I would definitely recommend theiPad Mini to parents, students, and individuals of all ages!

I traded in my iPad 3 for the iPad Mini. Was contemplating for months on whether to get the iPad Air or Mini. Finally decided to go small. When I compared the home screen with the iPhone and older iPad 3 I do see that the Mini's color is not as vibrant. But it's a small difference and would only notice if you were looking for it. I did see two dead pixels, the first dead pixels I have see on an Apple's product. Again, not a deal breaker. Pros Size Weight Resolution Speed - faster than iPad 3 Cons Price went up from the original Mini Can't buy unlock cellular version for international travel at Best Buy. They only sell those at Apple. No flash light Speakers are not as loud as the iPad 3 which was a bit disappointing

I love the iPad Mini 2. I got the 64gb because I wanted enough room to have some videos downloaded since we only got the Wifi version. Our daughters love theirs too. I have no complaints so far. Battery life is great compared to my iPhone 4S. I was worried the screen would be too small and I would regret not getting the larger iPad version. But it's a great size. It's easier to bring places and easier to hold. I also like that you can use it upside down, unlike my iPhone 4S. I do that when I'm in bed and have it plugged in because I don't want to ruin the lightning plug (like my iPhone one that is destroyed from bending). Also, I got it at a GREAT price. It was a one-day sale and I'm so glad I decided to do it because the prices went back up the next day. NO REGRETS HERE.

I upgraded from the first Ipad version that had the Retina screen, because it was starting to be a little slow with the latest software upgrades, and I was running out of storage. I wasn't sure if I would be happy with the smaller screen, but after using for about a month, I am very happy with it. The light weight makes it much nicer to hold and use as a reader, and I don't find the smaller screen to be a problem for anything I use it for. I carry this in a backpack with a 14" laptop, and was surprised how noticeable the weight savings was when switching to this model. My only significant complaint is that Apple charges such a premium for increased storage capacity. I went with the 64GB because I was about out of space on my 32 GB model, and just couldn't justify the price of the 128GB.

Purchased a 64GB iPad mini with retina screen to upgrade my wife's original mini which had been slowing down under iOS 8. After I saw Apple introduce only minor improvements in the iPad mini 3 I rushed to BB to find this model on a deep discount. We've been very happy with it. Much faster than original mini and the screen looks great. Perfect size for my wife and I don't mind using it either. We are an Apple family and this new mini fills all our needs. Very happy with it and would strongly recommend this model, especially if you can find a left over iPad mini with retina display (now called iPad mini 2) at a good price.
