    The item itself still needs some trial with us, but the delivery was not what we had hoped for. Sat at a nearby delivery location for days, before it was delivered. Therefore 3 stars on overall purchase at this time.

    Replacement mini IPad with poor service

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Mini IPad suddenly stopped working, would not connect to wi-fi. Mixed trouble shooting information/advice from Apple and Best Buy with a lack of service knowledge. Ended up purchasing new one from Best Buy to replace the one with unknown cause of problem and just out of warranty. Close to $1000 total purchase and they wanted to charge to install screen saver. Personnel were evasive about the charge leading me to believe there was not a charge. Supervisor was not concerned about dissatisfaction. Overall, replacement ipad is fine, service and pricing poor.

    I did not appreciate the heaviness of the mini Ipad. While I do like it, it is heavier than my old mini Ipad. If I had known a lighter version was coming out I would not have bought this one.
