    The iPad mini is a great investment for myself. With the size of the mini it's easily portable allowing me to take it when I travel and not be too big. It has a great speed and high quality dispaly.

    Managed to find this at the right time when a sale was underway. $100 off - can’t go wrong! It is what it is, an iPad Mini. Does what it says on the tin. Works seamlessly with my Apple ID and iCloud so I can access contacts, photos, emails, notes, messages on this. Small enough to be very portable.

    if you want a smaller tablet for yourself to play on or get creative on then this is well worth its weight in apple. It's small enough to palm , smart enough to keep you entertained and with the pen will work effective as a student's notebook or great for an EDC to keep in your car or bag.

    Always great tablets, these offer a lot of bang even it is a lot of buck. The form factor is also good as the 10.2", while also great, I think is a little too big when comparing portability between the two. This one is pretty snappy and apps are easy to obtain from the Apple Store. Recommended.

    Smaller convenient iPad mini

    Love my iPad mini. I previously owned the larger model but after so many years that one stopped working. While searching for a new one I decided on the smaller version because I found this one much more convenient. It does what is was intended to do. Easy to carry in my purse and works great!

    Everyone knows about iPads at this point. Decided to get this for my daughter for road trips instead of the latest gen. The larger bezel keeps her fingers from accidentally triggering the onscreen controls and it was a lot cheaper than the new version.

    This was a birthday gift for my granddaughter. She loves it and the picture is great. It was a purchase to replace an older iPad mini, so we are familiar with the product. Love, Love, Love it! The sales associate was super helpful with my purchase. Excellent job, Best Buy!

    This is my 3rd iPad. I didn't even consider any other brand. It was super easy to setup, just set it next to my other iPad and followed the instructions. I love how all the Apple products integrate together. The reason I purchased this latest iPad was because my wife was always using mine.

    Bought as a gift for my wife, and she loves the form factor and portable nature of the iPad mini. I have an iPad Pro 12.9, which I love, but I admit I am sometimes jealous of her mini. As an e-reader and browsing device it is incredibly light and convenient.

    The mini Ipad was purchased as something that did not take up much space and provided access to everything I needed, without lugging my Mac or larger Ipad. I had a previous earlier version that did not have that was slowing down. I am happy with it. Plus it helped that it was on sale for $50 off the list price.

    We bought this for our nine year old daughter. She loves it and all the things she is able to do with. Smooth operationally, camera is great, which she uses all the time, video capture is very responsive, looks good in slow-mo. Definitely get protection for this iPad or any other one for that matter.
