    Love it! I was torn between the mini and the iPad Air, but because of the mini's size I opted for the 256GB. I am very happy with it. It's perfect to fit into a slip briefcase or purse or small carry-bag. I don't game on it, so that was not a priority in my decision-making. It has replaced my old Kindle and my old Android 10 inch tablet perfectly! The battery life is exactly what they say it is, and it syncs with my Macbook brilliantly.

    I’ve got my second iPad mini, and it’s a great upgrade from my old mini 6. This 7th-gen model is a bit faster and comes with some cool Apple features, so it’ll last me a few more years. If you’re looking for a tablet that’s perfect for watching movies and browsing the web, this is the one for you. It’s got a bigger screen than your phone and is super lightweight, so it’s easy to carry around.

    The iPad mini is a perfect size for almost any bag and isn’t cumbersome to use or hold; yet it still feels substantial and durable. The screen is super bright even in direct sunlight and the user interface is smooth and without lag. Battery life is good considering advanced brightness and crystal clear display.

    It's a great portable version of an iPad Air that is great for reading and watching videos on the go, and powerful enough for some light design and editing tasks (screen is too small to work on a larger project). The main downside would be the price - $100 too much for what you get.

    Great size, fast, very convenient for reading manga, watching movies. When I build legos with my GF, she uses the physical book while I use the Lego app on the iPad and it’s a similar size so it works out great. Also as a monitor for flying the drone.

    I love the form factor of the new iPad mini. With the A17 Pro chip, it is incredibly fast and handles gaming and multitasking with ease. It’s the perfect size for reading and travel. Shipping from Best Buy was super fast, and the item arrived brand new and sealed. Highly recommended!

    It is the perfect size for mobility. I had a nexus 7 years ago and loved it. iOS is so much better for me and the size allows me to carry it in my jacket pocket. I like the usb c connection and the speed.

    So I’ve been using my new iPad mini 7 for a little over a month now and I absolutely love it. I used to have a 512GB 4th Gen iPad Pro that used and for about 5 years but grew tired of it as it was just too big to be carrying around. Don’t get me wrong I loved the size if the iPad Pro’s screen but thr added weight was a bit much. The size of this iPad mini 7 is perfect. Easy to carry around and toss into my slingbag with no issues. And battery life has been fine. Plus its able to get Apple Intelligence.

    This is the perfect size and functionality. Its weirdly lighter than what it looks like. You wont be missing much using this iPad other than size and the ProMotion display.

    I recently got the iPad mini 7, and I’m loving it! The A17 Pro chip makes everything super fast, whether I’m streaming, editing photos, or just browsing. The 256GB storage gives me all the space I need, and the Starlight color looks so sleek. It’s compact but powerful—perfect for my on-the-go lifestyle!

    I really don’t like trying to do things on a small cell phone. I also do not want to carry my large iPad around with me. This size is perfect. I particularly like that. It holds a charge well.

    I have an iPad air and MacBooks but wanted something to use on long flights that would be more compact but still have a nice display. This is it. I watched some downloaded content as well as videos available on the aircraft’s WiFi. Listened to audio through Bluetooth headphones. Perfect. My iPad air has cellular but i opted for this WiFi version because i can use my phone as a hotspot. Best Buy’s delivery was fast and convenient. Im happy!

    ,,,small & light enough to carry in a bag for travel. Screen is clear. I am hoping to figure out how to download a couple of movies to watch while traveling. (The phone is just too small for movie watching.) I was expecting to have my apps from the old iPad transferred when I set up the new mini. Some did not. It is an adjustment for me to set an alarm on my phone reminding me to take it off the charger. With this newer type of battery, it is recommended to take it off the charger when charged for longer battery life. I have not taken photo's yet. All in all, it should be a good replacement for my old iPad of many years. I am bitter to have to replace the old iPad because it started dragging after updates a while back... likely Apple nudging consumers to buy, buy, buy...
