    I like my iPad because it is compact it can’t fit in my head and it doesn’t seem like he’s in the way. The screen is very clear and I can see the details in every image that I watch. I am more than satisfied with the product and recommend it to anyone else interested in purchasing an iPad.

    I like the portability of this device. I have the 9.7" but bought this too for easier mobility. Would have been nice to have a 128gb option

    Although this 5th generation mini iPad has recently been replaced with the the new 6th generation, I purchased it because I didn’t want to deal with the “jelly scroll” that the new seems to have. This one we purchased works great and meet our needs.

    First off, we’re not fanboys, but apple is so simple it’s foolish not to have one. My wife and I run a business together and we tend to reach for our iPads more than a computer! It’s still not a computer replacement, but it’s close. My kids all have apple products, so communication wise, it just plain works... all the time.

    We have had many Ipads. We do like them. They work good and have a lot to offer. The only thing I can say I don't like about them is like any product that apple produces they stop supporting updates to them after a while and the performance tanks. Other than that I love using my Ipads.

    I purchased this so that I could watch movies on the airplane when traveling, particularly Southwest Airlines, as one can connect to their WIFI and shows from their website. In addition, I can also view videos from education websites with ease instead of sitting in a chair watching them on my desktop computer.

    Great iPad for small work but I specifically got this for my toddler and she loves it. Screen is very durable lol my baby throws it everywhere and hasn’t broken yet. And also I’m convinced that it’s waterproof, maybe splash resistant.

    This is the best purchase. I bought this for using a digital planner and find myself using it more than my phone, my full size IPAD and my MacBook. The audio sound is unbelievable and the quality of images and videos is the best I’ve had yet.

    The iPad purchase was fine, as was the speed of delivery. Not so fine is the automatic subscriptions that were added - I have not downloaded them and hope that they are not billed to my card later on. This was a purchase for someone else and I am not interested in paying for their security software forever. The subscriptions/trials - apple music, webroot security. I tried contacting customer service to verify that these are not going to be billed later - but gave up after several hours of being disconnected etc.

    Have not used this much yet as I use a desktop at home, but, it sure does promise to be great on trips and just about everything else when I'm not on the desktop. Lots of fun and keeping up to date, plus it ties in with e-mail, etc. This iPad will be fabulous when I really get going on it.
