    The highs: Great performance due to the iPhone XS-class chipset Apple Pencil support Excellent battery life Fast charging capabilities The lows: No USB-C port A somewhat dated design Photos and 1080p video are "good", but not "great" No second-generation Apple Pencil support As one of the fastest mobile devices, with an excellent display, long battery life, and a compact form factor, the iPad mini is perhaps the best small tablet you can buy.

    iPad mini rocks

    I have a Mini gen 1, an iPad Pro and now the newest Mini. It's like the Pro, in a portable size. Very pleased, particularly with the extra storage. The only drawback with Apple is that they force you to keep upgrading the hardware, because with older gens, once the iOS is outdated, many of your apps cease running. That stinks, especially since my gen 1 mini still runs great, is used daily, and the battery life is still perfect. But it's out of space, and half the apps don't work, so hello, new mini.

    Bought open box saved a bit But love the mini size good for reading on the couch just wish it wasn’t so dang pricey. Had minor issue and Man the manager at Colma, CA helped me resolve! He’s the man! I prefer Colma store to my own San Francisco store as the Mgr over there didn’t help me. But I am happy now thank you Man! The phone call to Geek Squad took awhile on hold but the person did help me find resolution even with covid times. Overall love the device

    This is a nice iPad with a small-ish screen. I did own iPad Minis before this (1st and 3rd gen) and this is a nice upgrade, speed-wise, and functionality (compatibility w/ Apple Pencil). I noticed that this was faster too. My comment w/ pencil compatibility is that the screen is maybe too small for sketching but it also might work well for those that are used to smaller screens. Happy with the purchase.

    I’ve had the mini since it came out and have upgraded it here and there. I got the 5 so I could use the Apple Pencil with it and the mini is still so good! I thought about getting a larger iPad but I love that the mini is small enough to throw in my purse but big enough that I can read the screen without feeling like an 80 year old lady without her glasses. Highly recommend for anyone on the go!

    You get what you pay for - a quality product that has an excellent history of reliability. For those seeking portability, the iPad mini is the top in that category. The processor speed and high resolution of the screen makes for efficient and enjoyable interaction. The build of the unit is of the highest quality. But remember you get what you pay for, the higher cost means better product / more enjoyable experience.

    My 9 year old daughter started 2 years ago saving her birthday money and allowance/chores and almost had enough to pay for this outright (she didn’t account for NY sales tax but learned the value of saving and paying for this iPad mini. She absolutely LOVES it! It’s blazing fast, it works with my old Apple ipencil that I ended up giving her and the picture quality on this screen is amazing.

    This is my 3rd iPad mini and each generation gets just enough better to make it worth the price. The iPad Mini costs more than the larger iPad but if you want a tablet that you can comfortably hold in 1 hand (as an eBook reader) and easy to carry around, it is hard to beat. Plus, twice the memory compared to the iPad 8th generation.

    I really debated about buying this. Do I need it? I bought this mainly as an Ebook but chose one with a lot of space because I have Apple products so I could connect them all. Works great as an ebook. Good size for that. But can also look things up, check my email, and messages. I have not ever regretted buying it. And as usual, the Best Buy customer service was fantastic.
