Apple - iPad mini 4 Wi-Fi 128GB - Space Gray

Nice Features and good performance tucked into small portable package. Although the chip isn't the same as the Air 2, the upgraded A8 inside the mini 4 performs very well The screen resolution is awesome. It is the only device currently out that will work with all features included in IOS 9. Handles multitasking very well with 2 gb of Ram. The only drawback is that you will need to purchase new accessories. The Mini 4 is thinner and a bit bigger than the mini 3.

The iPad Mini is probably *the* best purchase you can make in the last 5-7 years out of hundreds of electronic devices invented, by Apple or otherwise. All iPads and minis are great investments and worth every dollar but with the mini it's more bang for the buck, being an incredibly intuitive all round tablet 90% of the population can find to useful for personal and professional use. The base model runs on wi-fi, which saves money because it doesn't require a data plan (which can be expensive). It's size and capabilities outmatch larger, heavier devices (like the larger iPad or Air, which go for $200+) and screen is large enough to enjoy clear viewing of videos/clips/tv and beats struggling to see that on a small screen cel phone. I recently upgraded to a new laptop and cel phone yet find I use my mini iPad more than both combined. I take it everywhere without any effort and is lightweight enough to forget your have it in a bag/purse. Has plenty of memory, a clear sharp screen, easy to use keyboard, high quality camera and speakers. Battery life is very long and charges fast. My 2nd generation mini (from late 2014) was still working just fine but I only decided to upgrade when I saw a sale on the newest model (mini 4) with more memory which I was needing because I take thousands of photos & create music. I was happy to give my older iPad-mini to my Grandma who loves it to bits, though never had any interest in having a cel phone or new fangled computer. She's 87, sharp mind but slowing down activity wise so appreciates the minis lightweight easy to keep at hand size, and can use it effortlessly without worrying about security issues, hacking, loss of personal info, or learning the ins and outs of the cumbersome Microsoft world of old computing with hunting through and creating files, patches, debugging, mind numbing upgrades, etc. She uses it to check email and text messages from family, gets pics of them and friends, does her banking, makes and checks pharmacy medicine refills and online Scripps shipments, checks doctor appts, reads news from all over, research her particular interests, watches many things through YouTube, reads e-books, listens to fav music, streams digital radio, loves podcasts, and fun stuff like downloaded cool (free) apps from the Apple store- plays new easy to learn but challenging games like Flow, Triominoes, Tap Colors, and old favorites like Othello, solitaire, Scrabble, Concentration, Chess, etc. It's hugely important for seniors to stay busy, use their mind and be connected with people or they can slip deep into depression and worsen conditions like dementia, etc. If they're not able to socialize in a personal way due to geographical or physical limitations using just this type of device can keep them interested, learning new things and engaged. Going online is second best- and the new tech capabilities makes it very easy and affordable now versus being tied to a cumbersome old desktop computer or bulky heavy laptop, or restricted to a tiny cel phone screen and keyboard with limited data and space. Note you can also watch live TV and movies via common cable subscriber apps (Comcast/Xfinity etc) you can download for free and use even if its a family member or friend who is the primary cable acct holder. I've done this with Xfinity and chip in for a close friends monthly cable subscription rather than waste money having my own acct and paying for services I don't need. This TV app is extremely handy and allows for watching anywhere- sitting at at desk/table/in bed, waiting somewhere (doc office/airport/etc). With things like this no wonder many people are cutting basic cable home service! Besides that there are hundreds of handy apps that open up new worlds and the only limitation is a closed, uncurious mind. Life's short, don't hesitate to explore and embrace this amazing technology tool.

I have owned iPad mini 2 since it came out but skipped iPad mini 3 last year due to mediocre upgrade. iPad mini 4 is a great upgrade, improved screen, lighter (You can actually feel the difference), faster! It is a great upgrade! The new iPad mini 4 is great to hold in hand and read magazines and surf the internet. The lightweight also makes it great to carry around without feeling the burden.

I'm getting to the point that I'm using my tablet instead of my laptop. I decided to get the iPad instead of an Android because other family members have phones so FaceTime was another determining factor. But this new generation and large drive space alllows for more of everything with cleaner resolution and speed

This is the 4th iPad that I have purchased - and this one does not disappoint. I didn't buy the iPad mini 3, since there didn't seem to be many benefits over the iPad mini 2 - and that year wait was worth it. It is fast, the display is great - the list of pros goes on and on.

Love the new design and how light weight it is. Awesome so far.

Only downside is basically having to shell out $200 more for 128gb. Tablet apps use a lot of space. Going less would fill up way too fast.

After owning an origins iPad series 1 it was time to upgrade. Since I own an iPhone 6S and a MacBook Air, I opted for the iPad Mini4 instead of the Air2 or the Pro. I'm very please with my decision. It is not intended to be a laptop replacement, but as a reader, checking emails and as an educational tool for language apps, videos viewing from bed, reading books and checking the news, it's really helped me get up to date. I use it everyday, exceptional battery and picture quality. The speakers and overall audio output is a bit weak so get good headphones, and a case to protect it. Other than that, it's a great tool and travel companion.
