Apple - iPad® mini 2 with Wi-Fi + Cellular - 64GB - (Verizon Wireless) - Silver/White

I have used several tablets, starting with the first Android Tablet and the first IPad long ago. I've had almost all the tablets that you could have had, Galaxy Tab, Motorola Xoom, etc...Although I prefer android os to iOS - there is a superb quality that can't be beat when you own an Apple. Apple got it right with the size, the weight, and the function of this device. I have the cell enabled, because I use it for school and business. As usual, the only drawbacks for this device is - hunting and pecking on the keyboard, since Apple will not allow 3rd party keyboards- like Swype - and you cannot integrate any 3rd party keyboards with Apple platforms- and the only other thing that I miss from Android are my widgets. If this device had those two functions, it would be perfection. I solve this by having an Android phone- I detest the IPhone! But when it comes to function and quality Apple always wins. I chose the 64 g because I knew this device would be around for a long time, not like the fickle Android devices- so I made sure I would have plenty of space. The only downside is the price- but you get what you pay for-

If you have been thinking about an iPad mini, this is the time to buy the mini retina(2). If you don't need your mini in gold or with fingerprint recognition(mini3), this is the best price for the same performance found in the new mini3. Great price, great product. I am finding the smaller size much more convenient than my full size iPad. If you primarily use your iPad to watch videos or have to perform alot of input functions, go with the added screen size of a full size iPad. For all else, especially traveling, I would recommend a mini.

I had a Galaxy Tab 10.1 prior to an iPad, but with the support of the iOS app store and variability in Android tablets it was really down to a full-size iPad or a Mini when I was in the market for a replacement. I bought this right when the new iPads came out since they were relatively similar specs without the Touch ID, which wasn't worth the extra cost. And this came in the 64GB model, which is exactly what I was looking for. I'm really happy with my choice, as this is the perfect size for holding in one hand and for traveling -- no need to worry about a bigger screen for such a little return.

This is my second iPad Mini Retina and I love it. It has the best form factor for me and it's easier to carry around than the regular sized iPad. It's very fast and with 64Gb I have plenty of storage. This is the Mini 2, so like the 3rd version it does not have the latest processor found in the iPad Air 3. It did not matter to me since I use mostly for accessing content: newspapers, the web, music etc... It's a solid well designed Apple product and I'm very happy with it.

I decided on the IPad mini 2 with Retina Display. I wanted one that would use Verizon, and also something larger than 16 GB. I found one with 64 GB online but had to drive 100 miles (each way) to get it by Christmas. I have been using it. I like the size, and even the on-screen typing is okay. I did buy the ZAGG case with keyboard, which is a great feature.

The iPad Mini 2 is a fine, compact tablet. I bought the Verizon version, as I will soon be traveling a lot, and won't always have access to WiFi. The screen quality is excellent, with vibrant colors that just "pop" in front of your eyes. The processor is also very fast. I also have a full size iPad, but the Mini will be easier to transport in my travels.

I bought this for my wife for Christmas. I was hoping she would like it - she Loves it !! Big enough but small enough for her purse. She takes it everywhere !!!

So IPad mini 3 is out but after doing my research. Ps I'm no techie, just like things to work so I don't want to grab a hammer! Anyway iPad mini 2 has same operating system basically as iPad mini 3. The new iPad Air is worth the investment since it runs on upgraded system from earlier version. But if you can grab iPad mini 2 before they clear them out, it's a great deal
