    Wanted an iPad that was small and convenient. Nice size for my purse and easy to carry around. However it’s big enough to ready the lettering unlike my phone.

    This was an upgrade from an older version I had... the Ipad mini 2. I mainly use it for importing, viewing and editing pictures Its so much faster! I am glad I decided to get it.

    functionally the Ipad 4 and Ipad 5 are the same but the new one (5) is very fast compared to the 4. I was having some trouble with the 4 reading my fingerprint but the new one works great. love the speed of the new ipad

    I like to read and because of the size, I can easily carry it with me. I find that I use it more often than I do the computer. The only problem that I have is that some of my contacts did not transfer from my old iPad.

    This replaced my old mini and was easy to set up and implement. The hardest part was transferring existing applications to the new one from the old, but that was the fault of the old one.

    I owe a MacBook Pro but did not want to take such a big laptop on my vacation so I decided to purchase this iPad. I have no regrets, I was able to use it on my travels and the pictures are nothing but excellent.

    The most popular iPad of them all and the price is high since it still hasn't been upgraded in a while. My kid loves it compared to the other iPads because of the size. Go figure.

    This is a wonderful device by Apple. It’s compact and easy to take with you on the go! I have an iPhone but I like the convenience of having a little larger screen to read or watch something on the go.

    This is an upgrade from a Mini 2, which was running short on storage space. We like the size of the Mini's, large enough for our needs but not too big or heavy. And a lot of processing power.

    ... but Apple announcing that the new iPad os will support normal external storage made a big difference in choosing to replace it with another iPad. And amazingly they’re finally going to fix the ridiculous cursor/select/replace method that barely makes sense on a phone. And mouse support and improved “file system “ - not terribly confident it will BE a file system but I’m ok with just having rational storage.
