    I am so glad I purchased ipad mini(5th generation)! I was disappointed that I could not use it as a phone. But at the same time, I figured out how to connect to my student using this new ipad. However, I can't use my imac computer and ipad at the same time when connecting to my student via Wyzant.com. I also noticed that I can't switch my video camera side from my face to the keyboard, because the Wyzant camera doesn't provide one. Other than these 2 problems, I was very glad to have 256GB of memory instead of a punny 34GB on my iphone. This ipad is going to replace my worsening-condition Asus laptop. I am happy with my new ipad. :-)

    Lots of memory and good size for my 8 year old boy. He loves carrying it around with him everywhere he goes. It works well just like other Apple products.

    I love this iPad. I misplaced my iPad mini 2 on a recent flight and decided to upgraded when I got a new one. The processor is faster, the display is brighter, and I have four times as much storage. I'm a happy camper.

    Works as expected. Only owned it for 2 weeks but works well and is convenient to move around with. Definitely easier to read books on than my phone, but not as bulky as a regular iPad

    I purchased this iPad mini to replace the one I have owned for years. The only difference is the larger memory that I choose. Love the small size that is easy to carry but larger than my iPhone.

    Had to upgrade my kids's mini 2 in preparation for distance learning. Does everything I need it to do for their school work, but faster! Great size for their hands. A no-brainer, really.

    This is great for anyone that needs a “portable” iPad. It’s a great size with lots of memory to add all your important files. Best for professionals or students that need something small on the go!

    This is my 3rd iPad Mini. I get the Mini because I love the form factor: it's smaller, easier to carry around, easier to handle. I'm holding it close enough to me that I don't need the bigger screen. I had given my 1st, a Mini 2, to my wife when i bought my Mini 4, but it is now old enough that Apple no longer offers iOS upgrades for it. Time to move on! The only difference I notice between the Mini 5 and the Mini 4 is the increased speed, which is nice. Also, the sound seems better, but I don't listen to much that way. I was a bit miffed that the storage options were only 64GB (too little) and 256GB (too much). My old one was 128GB and that was perfect (and still too much).

    Having the Apple Pencil Suport makes a BIG difference. I also highly recommend an App called Drawing Pad. Also, Hello Crayon. I also download coloring pages from the internet to bring into the Hello Crayon app and color them. I also got the iPad Mini because it was more affordable and more portable. I’m really enjoying mine. I would give this more stars then 5.

    I bought my ipad mini because I had carpal tunnel in one hand and wanted a tablet I could use my other hand to type with (one-handed typing). Compared to the other tablets I tried out, the keyboard on the ipad was just so much more functional. Since buying it, I've really become a true fan. I LOVE my ipad mini. It's the perfect size to use instead of my laptop for business trips, it supports all my software, and even beyond the keyboard it's made my life easier. I love how easy it is to use, how much space I have on it, and how portable it is. Ipads are pricey, yes, but I don't think I could switch brands at this point. I'm a believer.
