    I needed a device to use with my drone. I compared the name brands available and kept coming back to Apple products. I settled on the mini because it is the perfect size for what I needed. After having it for a few weeks now I've actually been using it for allot more. I'm normally a samsung only guy but I'm now considering going with apple and ditching my samsung note 10 plus. The mini is powerful and compact and it doesn't sacrifice anything at all and for the price i feel like I got the best deal around.

    I really wanted to like this iPad Mini 5. Coming from the Mini 4, I had high hopes for the 5: Touch ID, faster processor and 3GB of RAM. My son has the Air 3 and has similar features, so I was excited in getting this for me. Sadly, I was disappointed with the mini 5 primarily that 64GB storage is woefully not sufficient. The A12 processor is light years better than the Mini4, and it does support Apple Pencil generation 1. Yet I was left scratching my head that this was not very satisfying to use, again the storage was not adequate and also the screen size looks so dated in the Mini 5: The bezels are large and the hone button. I would have liked to see them move forward with a design similar to the Air 4 or Pro line, hopefully with the Mini 6. Daily use is fantastic and the processor is very snappy. It is great compact design is fun to hold in one hand. Overall, I am satisfied with this Mini 5 but was longing for more leaps and bounds.

    We are apple super fans, but it is hard to argue with Apple’s simplicity and ease of use. My wife had a gen 4 mini for a while, so we had been hunting or a deal. We were able to jump on the $329 flash sale, which is pretty great bc the gen 5 had just been recently released. It is all that we have come to expect from apple products. Sharp, bright screen, excellent interface, good speakers, and superb battery life. I don’t even know how we lived before iPads!

    We bought the mini iPad for Mom (Grandma & Great-Grandma), who is alone at home during this Pandemic with caregivers. Now her family can Facetime with her. She loves it! We all love keeping in touch with her too. Much easier for her to use than a computer or Zoom, and less expensive too. We can also add movies, music, and games to keep her busy. We added pictures of each family member in her contacts which helps her to identify callers. Great tool for dementia! We recommend it!

    Bought refurbished iPad mini 5

    I waited way too long to post a review but the iPad mini 5 continues to be an excellent device with no slow down in speed or battery run time. I purchased this as refurbished for a nice savings and have no regrets. It was a worthwhile upgrade from my iPad mini 2. The only thing I miss about the iPad mini 2 is the 4g cellular option. I decided not to pay extra for cellular this time so no gps going maps guidance. I can use my iPhone for that though.

    This is a great tablet for my son. Easy to hold, perfect for traveling with and great performance. We’ve used other lower costing tablets before this (fire tablet, and other Android based tablets) and all of them either freeze up or can’t handle games/videos as well. I highly recommend you buy this first instead of saving the money going cheap and having to replace or buy this ultimately anyway. There’s no question Apple tablets are leagues above the competition.
