    My wife uses this for e-books, mail, and web surfing. We bought it because it would be bigger than her iPhone, but small enough so she could use it while sitting in our family room. We have had no problems with performance or capabilities and are very pleased with it. Since she already had an iPhone, using it was very easy. A couple of small differences (the weather app was different) but nothing major.

    This has to be one of my best decisions I have ever made to buy a computer. Although I have 5 other Apple devices, this is my favorite. Play or work, doesn't matter, it just works excellent on my wifi system. Check emails, notes, take pics or FaceTime with others. I love my mini. You will too!

    This tablet is a great size especially for children. I’ve bought iPad mini 5 for my toddler and he loves it. The size is perfect for little hands. Throw on a nice case and you’re good to go. This is also a great tablet for an adult who wants to just pack a light bag with an iPad for entertainment on the go. It’s not too bulky or heavy as it’s bigger sized versions. Would recommend, 5/5 stars!

    Given as a gift to granddaughter, right out of box met with squeals of joy. This mini iPad downloaded, installed, and opened apps with lightning speed and incredible visual clarity that I’ve not seen with other devices. Best Buy’s pricing was even better than buying through other outlets, including direct from Apple. Total satisfaction.

    Doubled my previous ipad’s memory so I could load my entire music library of 10,000 songs and playlists, along with photos, as well as use it as a kindle reader and internet browser. Only downside is that some companies have yet to develop an ipad version, as opposed to iphone version, of their apps. Workaround is just to use safari to access those sites, works seamlessly.

    I needed a tablet for reading and studying on the road. This fits the bill perfectly. Size is just right. I am happy that I waited and got the newest version as I am pleased with the speed. Now that I can use the pencil is an added bonus.

    Bought this product for my wife, but I have owned Apple Products for a while. She was originally a “Samsung Fan” but after using this iPad she loves the functions, features and speed. With an added bonus of split screening so she can work with 2 different programs is a plus. The reliability of it working and having sensors that pick up the Apple Pencil’s every movement without lag is awesome.
