    Paying a premium for the mini size versus the regular ipad, but for those who want a small footprint it is excellent.

    I love my new iPad mini. It’s the perfect size for watching my shows and movies! I just wish that Best Buy would have told me ahead of time that they limit the number of gift cards you can use for purchases. I had enough of them to pay for my iPad in its entirety, and I was told that they only allow 7 gift cards to be used. Those cards were birthday & Christmas gifts, and I had to pay the rest out of my pocket after the gift card limit.

    I thought this would make a great addition to my Apple collection. Was thinking I could use this as a daily journal/planner that I could carry daily. I ended up returning as I didn’t find it useful. I found most apps that I used for this iPad were formatted for the iPhone so they don’t appear full screen. Or if stretched you lose clarity. That was a deal breaker for me.
