    It's a mini iPad. Nothing special. No complaint either. I already have a iPad air. Decided to get another one, so my kids don't fight over and it will be easier for them to study. Since most of their class now are via zoom meeting.

    Replaced older iPad mini that was past its time. Could no longer be updated and poor battery performance. Big improvement in function and performance. Exceeded my expectations. Got excellent deal from Best Buy

    I just purchased my 3rd IPad and I love it. I use it for work as well as personal use. It's easy to take with me on my business trips. I also love the Gold that it comes in now compared to the silver. I highly recommend this product.

    This device was purchased for my 7 year old daughter. I love that it’s small for her and convenient for our on the go trips. Would definitely recommend for yourself as well if you’re not wanting anything bulky.

    Ordered for myself, specifically because I wanted an iPad to use with an Apple Pencil, but didn’t want to go out and buy the super expensive, newer models. Came fast, works great; great purchase

    I love the tablet itself. Super fast when connected to the internet. Only downfall (and it’s my own fault) is I didn’t get mobile with it like I had on my previous tablet. If I could do it again, I’d have it on it.

    I have both old and new generations iPad. The performance is better than previous generations. The dimensions are different by 2-3 mm so the old case will not fit the new one.

    I have had many tablets from many different manufacturers and truly believe Apple is the best. We have had Samsung, Lenovo and I don’t remember what else, but the Apple tablets last longer and perform better.

    I love this IPAD because of its easy setup and security features. It also also very easy to use, very well built and offers many apps to do just about any diy project you could think of.

    The IPAD mini is a great addition to our technology especially during a pandemic. We are doing lots of Zoom meetings and other online visits abs the IPAD makes it easy to use anywhere in the house.

    Works perfectly and is a quality product from one of the best technology plus companies in the world. They only get better. Funny I bought a case size 9.7 by mistake instead or needed 7.9:-) My mistake of course.

    i wanted the mini because i can put this in my purse or any small bag. i don't carry a big bag. i can take it anywhere. i watch tv on it a lot. i'm working on something and i need a you tube video, i can get it. it takes good pictures. it has face time. touch screen and i love the touch screen. i have my itunes with me. it's so convenient. i want to get a pen for it. i love it. very happy with it. there's one con and it's the speakers. i have to put something behind the speakers to direct more sound to me. it's in the design of it. i still love it. thought it was a good and necessary buy.

    iPad mini is the perfect size I had the bigger iPad but was just a little too big so really like this one a lot better. The iPad mini still has split screen and a lot of other good features. I really like it so far.

    I bought this mainly for media consumption. I tried to watch some Netflix only to realize it created black bars on the top and bottom of the video making the actual viewing field the exact same size as my Note 10+ phone. I think it has to do with the screen aspect ration of the device. This made it pointless to me so I returned it. The compact size was a big selling point and I would have been happy with it had it not been for the media issue.
