    I have been waiting for an iPad Mini refresh for years. The new product is great and meets all expectations. The CPU performance is excellent and the addition of Touch ID is a nice feature. Overall a great product!

    Personally I am not a fan of apple products because of their proprietary policies. How ever my wife and son use their tablets and they work flawlessly. I also feel that they are overpriced.

    Standard Apple quality and performance. Good for kids, especially with the 256GB storage capacity. Definitely need a case and a screen protector - preferably tempered glass.

    I am upgrading from a 3rd generation iPad, and this is an improvement! The color is sharper and more vivid. The Wi-Fi is much faster. It’s just better!

    We owned a previous model of the iPad, and it was time to upgrade. Very happy to have the new, faster iPad, and we use it for just about everything we need to do online.

    The computer itself is great, but the mouse and keyboard are junk. If you buy this product you are going to want to get a different keyboard. Luckily I still had one from my old computer so I didn't have to put up with the once that came in the box. I worked in a tech firm for 44 years, and got a new computer every three years so I know what is satisfactory and what is not.

    My kids love using the IPad to watch their favorite programs! The IPad is also a great learning tool for the kids with plenty of apps geared towards exercising little ones minds!

    Time to upgrade with no time to waste! I couldn't afford to wait for the next generation iPad mini because my Generation 2 iPad mini battery died and the OS has a hard time with older apps.

    I do enjoy the size of the iPad mini. Definitely is just a lot easier to travel with. However I got the Wi-Fi version and have to say that it does have difficulty connecting to the Wi-Fi or the Internet and even with a mobile hotspot it takes a bit for it to connect

    Not much changed from one mini to the other. Needed another one so my daughter could have mine. If I didn't need to this one is no better or worse that the previous model
