    Bought brand new for my mother to replace her 1 yr old bulky and heavy iPad 10.9” and was not disappointed- so much lighter and with newer tech seems better. She is currently bedridden and not using it much so i get to. I had gen 1 mini but smashed it 7 yrs ago so this seems years ahead of original. USB-C will take time to adjust since I have plenty of lighting cables. Was not too happy with price originally but got it on sale and used $350 in best buy rewards. Still need case and screen protector but works as needed.

    The iPad mini 7 in purple has a subtle shade of purple, which looks really nice. The heat management is decent, and the new processor ensures smooth performance.

    The new Ipad Mini A17 is a nice update. It could have used an M2 chip but the A17 is quite capable of handling all tasks. It's a great size for traveling and just throwing into a backpack or bag. I use it mainly for reading, watching YT or Netflix and light productivity. Battery life is great and standby time is amazing! If you want portability, this is the ipad to get. If you want something with more power and a larger screen for drawing I would suggest upgrading to an Ipad Air or Pro model. Don't get me wrong, the ipad mini is capable of handling tasks its larger counterparts can, but the screen size may hinder your user performance with such apps.

    Switch from IPad Pro to IPad mini, I invested in a MacBook Air with m4 chip, very pleased so far coming from Windows pc. The mini is the perfect device to pull out for notes, sign docs, and doing note taking. It accomplishes this without the bulk of an iPad Pro and any intensive work, I just reserve for my MacBook.
