    Got this for my 10 year old. I previously bought her an iPad Pro and even though she was excited the screen was bigger, she got tired of it quickly. The iPad mini is perfect for her smaller hands.

    Third iPad purchased. Easy to use, fast user friendly as are most apple devices. Effortless WiFi, internet connection. Enjoyable ease of use with photos and videos and editing in IOS as needed.

    I got this to use in conjunction with my laptop at work. I like handwriting notes, but hate having piles of paper around. Paired with the Apple Pencil, this is an excellent device for that purpose. Small enough to carry with my laptop without a lot of extra weight, but big enough to not feel cramped. My only criticism is that the mini is not yet compatible with the 2nd generation Apple Pencil (and the new pencil charging method).

    I found the iPad mini to be the perfect size to take notes in class - also works perfectly with the 1st gen Apple pen. It's so convenient to carry all your notes around in such a small device!

    I love this iPad Mini. I use it mostly for games, but love the convienence of the size for doing quick searches instead of having to pull out the Macbook Pro.

    I review e-mails and read the paper, and of course constantly do google searches. This iPad does great. Had a second generation iPad mini that could not take the new iOS updates. This works well with my iPhone.

    It is easy for me setup, fast. Although it is not the item that I have looking for, but over all it is more than I am looking, it is better than the first Ipad mini that I have brought before

    Perfect iPad for children. My son 7 year old loves it. It’s perfect for his little hands. He has the ability to draw using his tablet. Time limits can be set as well. Great iPad for the price.

    The gadget itself it’s a nice buy. My purchase experience, was a little disappointing. It was to be a gift, and although, the order was placed 4 days ahead of time, I received it 3 days late.

    First of all, I’m thrilled when I found out that Apple released a new mini ipad. I love mini ipad so much! Works really well for me. Second, it was my birthday gift to myself when I bought this and I’m still loving it!

    Bought the iPad for my son to replace his old one and so far enjoying it... Able to see and download newer apps since his old one wasn’t able to download latest iOS version... Great size for him too

    First time user of apple ipad. I'm surprised that battery lasted more than 5 days. Though I'm just using it for browsing and messaging and I have not installed any other applications yet.

    Snappy and fast in the perfect form factor. I own many apple products but for everyday, sitting at the kitchen table drinking my coffee tablet, this one is the best!

    Love the iPad mini size and layout. Don't mind the bezels on top and bottom as I like to read with this device. Would like face id included in future versions. This version is much faster than the older model

    My Bride loved her iPad, but it was heavier than she liked. The mini offers her an opportunity to utilize the iPad more often and she likes that quite a bit.

    I knew I would like this tablet, but I didn't anticipate how much I would love it. This tablet has gone far beyond my expectations and has proceeded to be used for both my school work and as a personal tablet.
