    I have both the ipad pro and the newly purchased ipad mini latest addition. It is not as fast as the pro, but it is a major step up from the ipad mini 2! If your surfing the web, playing games, or just downloading music, this little guy is great!

    This replaced my older Ipad mini 2, which had diminishing battery life, and would no longer update to the newer IOs. Love the size for reading Kindle and Nook apps, checking email and Facebook. Fits in my purse. Very versatile.

    Have held out on purchasing Ipads because of cost but after having multiple tablets that run slow as dirt and switching between apps is slow, it was a nice change to get on this device and it function like I hope. Kids love it too, just try to have them be careful with it.

    This is my first purchase of an Apple item. I've always had android pads and phone. My nephew who only buys Apple products convinced me to purchase the Mimi IPad and wow! I love it. Perfect size I carry it with me everywhere. Perfect purchase!

    Have been wanting an iPad for the house for years and finally bought one for the wife this Christmas! She loves it and is always using it when we are home lounging around instead of her phone. Very happy with our first iPad!

    the Ipad is capable of replacing your laptop (depending on what type of work or applications you need to run) but it can pretty do anything a laptop can do, but at a much lighter weight and more portability.

    Got this for my daughter to watch videos on family trips mainly but every once in awhile I use it for my self as well. Easy to use since we are a Apple family primary so my daughter caught on quick to use it.

    Very pleased with the mini IPad I purchased. It was easy to understand how to operate it, since it is an Apple product, and one of my phones is too. The salesman was courteous and knowledgeable about the product

    I purchased the iPad mini for my mother who isn't tech-savvy at all. However, she has been able to learn the IPad mini like a pro. She constantly tells me how much she loves her IPad and all of the things she able to do with it.

    If you loved your iPad mini 4, you will love the iPad mini 5. It is basically the same thing with upgraded performances. I had the iPad mini 16GB for 5 years so it was worth my money for 4 times more memory and much faster performance.

    This is a great product and a huge upgrade for me as I was still using the original iPad mini. Loving the screen and that it still is small enough. No complaints! Hoping to get an Apple Pencil soon.

    This is my first iPad and it was super easy to operate, just like a larger version of my phone, perfect size for young kids. Wish it used facial recognition instead finger print, as it never seems to work for me.

    Purchased this as an open-box item. The iPad was flawless, not a single scratch or crack. I was surprised at how deep the open-box discount was given the condition of the iPad. Best Buy always comes in clutch!

    We purchased this for my 8 year old daughter as a birthday gift and couldn’t be happier. It’s the perfect size for her and does everything she needs. Educational games, movie streaming, taking videos and photos, etc. No complaints!
