    Bought this IPad to use to read for my online classes. I love the Mini size. I am tired of zooming all day due to COVID & the iPad mini gives me a different scenery for technology use lol but it really is amazing!

    This is a great little iPad. We needed something for the kids school and this is working perfectly. Highly recommend!! The battery life of the Mini 5 is excellent. Far better than the older model of the iPad we had.

    Upgrade from an IPad 2 so there was lots of room for improvement! Fast and user friendly. Only negative is this goofy side bar that pops up when you hit the bottom in a certain way, you can't just swipe it back off you have to close and reopen.

    Love the iPad mini. Purchased it to use as my daily reader/textbook on the go and it does the job......and then some! Fits in my winter jacket comfortably and the charge lasts a couple of days, even when used regularly!

    I decided it was time to get another iPad and this time I chose to get the new iPad Mini. There are features from the bigger iPad Pros that I miss, but this one was less expensive and it’s smaller, so I’m definitely satisfied with my purchase!

    An IPad mini for me replacing a mini from 2011. So I got 10 years (and counting) from the old mini. The new mini has so much more of everything from the old mini. A Value purchase

    Upgraded from an iPad mini 4. Super fast and in my opinion the best form factor for one handed use. iPad pencil use is an added bonus. Great for note taking also. Recommend if you want something small and super fast.

    Comparing this mini iPad to the IPad Air that I also own I love how I can fit my Mini into any purse, back pack or carryon and take it anywhere I need the content, it also has all the features from any other iPad version.

    The new iPad mini is the best iPad i’ve ever used. Its no comparison to the Pro line of iPads but the performance is on par with the iPhone Xs. Games run perfectly and there are years worth of compatible accessories make it a great buy

    If you’re like me and you have a soft spot for the small tablet market then this is worth an upgrade. I went from an iPad Mini 4 and this one blows it outta the water speed wise!

    The iPad mini is just what we wanted. We have a iPad but at times it is a little to big to fit in carry bags or use in a RV when you travel. The mini does everting we want and travels quite well.

    I love the IPad in general but have fallen even more in love with the mini. It is compact and very easy to carry around with you. All the efficiency of the IPad, but just as a miniature version.

    Why didn’t I get any points for buying I pad. I pad is great, but service in your store is not good. I checked on line to see if the store I went to had the iPad and it said they did, but before I drive 30 miles one way, I call the store and no one answered phone. I called twice no answer so I drive to the store and find many sales people visiting with each other. I didn’t know where iPads were in the store and had to interrupt two salesmen who were visiting. Had to wait for person to help me and then to find out they didn’t have the iPad I drove to get. I ordered one to have on Wednesday no it came on Thursday. This is last time I will set foot in your store.

    No complaints. I'm a fan of the iPad mini, and can't find anything wrong with it. I'm writing this review almost a year later and my Mini works as if it just came out of the box.

    We now have an iPad for each person in our family. Good educational tool and of course great for entertainment especially on long multi-hour car rides. The iPad mini is the perfect size IMHO.

    This was a gift to my wife and she is very pleased with it. We are particularly impressed with the Geek Squad who quickly transferred the contents of her old and faulty iPad to her new one.

    This is a mighty ipad and has so much power. My son loves this as this is his primary technology to go to for his YouTube, NetFlix, Gaming (Minecraft)... etc... Just powerful in such a small screen configuration.
