This is what I was dreaming about since pencil integration was introduced. I carry my iPad everywhere, and the mini is the perfect size for mobile. Carrying something large, even if it’s the iPad Air felt uncomfortable. But this fits in my bag and I can whip it out to read, watch videos, or write notes / sketch wherever I am. I am in love with it. Con- pencil is not included and it’s steep at another $100. But once you get it, it’s a match made in heaven.

So I’m an Apple fan boy. Their products are amazing. If you don’t have an iPad mini it’s a great product. But not a huge improvement over the iPad mini 4. I’ve grown tired of apple holding back on tech for the next big thing. Not having a face scanner when they are able to place the tech in a phone is ridiculous. The 5 is faster than the 4 and some slight improvements but not worth the upgrade. That being said if you don’t have a mini then get this one then wait a couple of generations for your next one.

If you enjoy the iPad Mini, you will certainly enjoy this update. It has a faster processor, more storage and more RAM. You will notice the speed improvements. It is nice that this device finally supports Apple Pencil and Logitech Crayon. Both work smoothly on this device. This device is getting close to being perfect. However, I wish it had FaceID and support Apple’s Smart Keyboard. Nonetheless I still gave it 5 stars

I bought this to be a bridge between my iPhone SE and Macbook Air and so far so good. Screen is a great middle size to watch videos on a plan or surf the web on the couch without having to pull out the laptop. Biggest perk for me so far is the upgraded face camera over what I have on my other devices, makes for better FaceTime calls. So far, happy with the purchase.

I love all my Apple products. My first mini is pretty much out of memory and there are no updates for it since it is older but I still use it and am willing to share it with my grand daughter. I really was happy when the new mini came out and had to have it. It is all I expected-fast, fun and light as a feather.

I purchased this for my girlfriend to replace her aging first generation iPad Mini. It’s night and day faster and the screen resolution is much better! I was disappointed that the largest storage option was 256GB. She uses it for long plane trips and she likes to have a nice assortment of movies.

I love this device. It’s the perfect size for almost every use. If I needed a mobile tablet the size of a computer screen, I’m better off buying a full power laptop. This size is the perfect right off of screen size and ability to carry around. Only challenge is that nobody will sell me a cover. :-)

I love the iPad mini form factor. This is another great update to their line. It's a no brainer upgrade if you have a 2 and 3 mini. Thinner, better display, much faster. Little harder sell if you have a 4 mini, but if you use processor-intensive apps or need the Apple Pencil, I highly recommend it,
