    This IPad is smaller then the standard one but just as powerful. The size is perfect for my three year old to hold to watch movies while in the car. Absolutely love it as well as all Apple products; impeccable craftsmanship.

    A great new iPad mini, lightening fast, outperforms my older iPad minis. It's not dropping apps, perfect. I like the minis because I use them when I'm dropping off to sleep and the larger iPad just might wack me on the nose.

    Bought for my girlfriend as a Christmas present and she loves it!!! She’s currently in nursing school and rather than taking her laptop to class everyday, she brings her IPad mini instead. Lightweight and just as efficient as your standard laptop.

    Exactly what I needed! The perfect size, great camera, solid screen resolution. The only small annoyance - which is the case with all models of iPad - is that the setup has a couple hiccups including fingerprint and transfer from my iPhone.

    Great tablet

    For me, this is the best tablet on offer. Now, if you are looking for a single device to fulfill all your tech needs, you probably need to move on. For a larger screen I'll grab my Chromebook Plus, or fire up the desktop with a 32" monitor. This replaces my Kinfle e-reader and regular iPad for casual gaming. Light enough to hold for extended periods, and double the screen size of a modern smart phone. For me this replaces 3 devices, a Fire HD 8, a Kinfle Paperwhite, and iPad 6th Gen. There is no Android or Amazon Fire device that can compare to this, and no e-reader that can handle as many services as I have bought from. So, if you are a geek, that owns multiplyform factors, this is the device I would recy. If you want a safe ngle device to replace a laptop, or PC, to compliment your cell, I would say to go with the Galaxy S7, Microsoft Surface, or iPad Air, it Pro.

    I travel everywhere with my tablet. The size of this tablet is perfect and fits right into my purse. I love being able to use the pencil. When I’m At a function I can easily take notes. It also makes it very easy to annotate printed material. Can’t live without it.

    My 3rd edition was so slow even my old iPhone 6 was faster. This mini is as fast or maybe a bit faster than my iPhone 8. The colors on the old mini were good but they the best on this mini. Also the photos are so much sharper. I really like this new mini.

    My six year old iPad Mini was no longer updating, so I traded it in for the latest model. The new one holds onto a charge better, works more quickly, and offers features that I didn’t have before. My one complaint is that the fingerprint ID system seldom works.

    Perfect size for reading magazines. Mostly I read Time and Wired magazines. Sometimes I let me two year old play games on this when her tab runs out of juice. The iPad is fast enough for these purposes

    Great little iPad. I use it as an e-reader, to draw or create craft projects, take notes for class, and watch videos on. It can pretty much do anything and it not an annoying size to do so with.

    Upgraded for a faster processor and it was worth it. I was beginning to get some lagging and/or locking up on games on my old mini. I read almost exclusively on my mini and it's light enough to hold comfortably. Haven't tried the Apple pencil yet but it's on my wish list.

    I love this small lightweight tablet for its portability. Whether taking it with me while shopping, or traveling or just reading in bed. The iPad mini 5 is pleasantly speedy, but it’s best feature is how lightweight it is. Definitely recommend !

    I love the iPad mini. It is extremely fast. It works very well, and the size is perfect! I highly recommend the iPad mini! We are using it for the kids and I am using it for note taking (Evernote + Apple Pencil and the Zagg Ruggedbook keyboard). Great device!
