    The best small tablet

    I’ve had a couple of the full size iPads before but they tended not to get used as much as they should have given the price. This is the perfect size for ebooks and casual web browsing and small enough that carrying it is never a chore The pencil support for my future Rembrandt child is a nice bonus

    I traded in my 6 year old iPad mini for the new 5. Best Buy gave me a decent trade in and matched Amazon’s price without hassle. This new iPad mini is so much faster than my old one, better resolution,,, very happy with it.

    So happy that I decided to upgrade from my aging iPad mini. As usual the data transfer was easy and flawless. Though I went to the store they didn’t have the one I wanted in stock but it came in the mail a few days later. Love the size and lightweight of this tablet.

    Replacing an older version of a mini iPad. This one had some new features like using your fingerprint to open it which I like. It works pretty much like the older version which is why I bought another one. Definitely would recommend it.

    I recently purchased this ipad for my daughter because I had a Samsung tablet especially for kids but it kept freezing and slowing down and it's a great replacement because it runs faster and the button layout is better for toddlers or small children which hold tablets with both of the hands

    My oldest daughter specifically requested a new mini... Lucky for her, Apple has delivered an updated version with premo power (future proofed) - so she has what she wanted and it is working well. Not necessarily suggested (for the price) unless this is the size really wanted.

    I had two android tablets, that worked well, but did not seem to have the quality that the mini iPad does. I can do everything on the iPad that I could do on the other tablets and even download the same Apps I used on the Android tablet. Very happy with the mini iPad

    So easy to use and set up Best Buy did a great job even for a refurbished item it looks practically brand new. And with the security software as an added bonus is great with this tablet. My son loves this tablet. And he keeps him entertained for hours.

    We purchased this to replaced a renewed one I had purchased elsewhere that never worked correctly. This one was perfect right out of the box and all warranties are in tact. I ordered online and picked up curbside one hour later.

    I bought this iPad mini for my young daughter. The smaller size is better suited for small hands without being too small for easy viewing. For little ones, be sure to put it in a sturdy case! I'm always a bit surprised that the minis aren't a bit less expensive.

    My daughter loves it and so do I! She can talk to her friends and play games with them. It’s great for long car rides, no more asking how much longer! I can use it to look up anything if I don’t want to get my laptop out!

    I traded my iPad mini 2 for this. I like iPad mini. Easy to carry. Size is very portable. Can use Apple pencil on it. I didn't update to iOS 13. Worried it might become slow and shorten battery life if I update it which happened to my old iPad mini 2.

    This is my 3rd iPad mini. It's large enough for everything I want to do, but small enough to easily take on the go. This time I got an Apple Pencil to go with it too!

    The design is starting to show its age but the mini 5 is a good value now that is on sale for $300. Get one while still at this price because it's still a great tablet with good battery life and good processing power.

    Purchased initially to stop the kids from fighting over the one we had. The updated processor and pen compatibility have been useful for car trips to allow the kids to draw/play or watch movies without significant lags. Versatile enough for adults and kids!

    I've been using it as a tablet and a laptop replacement for basic task like notes and stuff and simple video editing and it works well the apps are nice though some are iPhone versions but that hasn't been to much of an issue.
