    I use mine to read books with the Libby App. This new min iPad does all things fast. I like the way it adjusts the shading and intensity of the page being read depending on the intensity of the light in the surroundings. Makes it easy on the eyes

    I bought this to use for an overhead camera connected directly to my Mac and OBS. It works perfectly snd I can edit live or post videos easily. The small form factor and integration with my other Apple products is perfect. Long battery life snd easy to find accessories.

    i have always used Android tablets (Tab A) for years. Had three. Even brand new they were slow. This Mini is my first apple product and still learning. Boy, it's fast! Screen resolution is very clear and for streaming videos, reading ebooks and browsing, I am a very satisfied customer!!

    This was a replacement for my years old iPad mini 4. I was tempted to go with the regular sized iPad, but stuck with the mini. This iPad handles all of my needs - studying, watching movies, and reading books. My biggest gripe would be the price ($400 for 64GB).

    Needed to replace my old iPad mini, and this one is great. Had a few issues with setting it up, but I got the AppleCare+ package, and they were able to help me. I love Apple products, and I've had another tablet I got for free from Verizon.....which was garbage.

    Small but powerful, the iPad mini is easy to hold and has a bright and clear screen. You can use the Apple pencil with it as well, an added bonus and great for art projects. Good for reading, some gaming and streaming videos. The mini is okay for light work. I would recommend this for casual browsing.

    There’s an iPad per family member in our home. This was to replace our daughters broken iPad which was larger. This smaller one is easier for her to handle, keeps a longer charge and gets the job done!

    Purchased tablets for my mother and father for Mother's Day and Father's Day respectively and they love it. Size is perfect, not too big and not too small. They love the size and how it is easier on their eyes compared to watching youtube and browsing facebook previously from their iPhones.

    I bought this for my Daughter and she is in love with it. The Ipad has stood up to abuse well seeing as my daughter is young and doesn't take care of it very well. Battery life is still doing well even with irregular charging.

    I LOVE this iPad; I’ve had an original iPad, iPad mini, iPad 5th gen, and this is BY FAR my favorite. It’s not too big to be cumbersome and a pain to use; and it’s still small enough to be shoved in my purse, lol!

    This is our second iPad Mini 5. It is a nice portable size for home and travel. It’s a bit of a throwback to original iPads, but with current processor, etc. It’s larger than a large phone, but smaller than full sized iPads, but does the same thing. It’s a winner!

    I love the Apples iPad mini (5th generation). It is a perfect in-between device (between my iPhone and MacBook Pro). This device is replacing my almost 8-year old iPad mini, which was beginning to operate more slowly and not accept all new apps.

    I love the size of the iPad mini because it is perfect for taking along compared to the bigger iPads. This is the perfect size of a regular book comes with all the new features to adjust the light on your eyes. For me, this is vital because I suffer from astigmatism.

    I love my ipad mini. i use it mostly as a display for my car to play music and navigation. i have a magnetic mount that sits on my dash and the ipad mini is light enough where it will stay and hold. looks like i have an external apple play device but even better its an ipad.

    Its been nine months since I've bought the ipad mini. For me its perfect. I use it for media consumption mainly. Watching and reading content. I had the ipad mini 2 before I sold it on ebay. Quality product. I have no issues with using Apple's tablets. I'm still stubborn about buying an iphone.

    My mom's aging iPad Mini 2 she picked up from a pawn shop had seen better days. Picked this up for Christmas and it proved to be a much faster, reliable upgrade! Best of all, no additional education required as it is virtually the same design as before.

    I like the size of the iPad Mini for daily use. It has all of the marvelous features like retina display while taking up a minimum of space. Perhaps it's a bit small to be used for drawing but otherwise it's perfect for most other typical iPad uses.

    I have an iPad Pro and iPhone X but still wanted this mini as a smaller second tablet for travel and stage use. The mini has plenty of CPU for my needs, the screen is amazing looking and it is a great size. The 2 shortcomings are the speakers are not good for music or movies. After coming off the iPad pro, the mini is small sounding and "tinny". I understand the price reflects this. The 2nd issue is the camera. No 4k video. 4k video is included in most everything these days. If someone were to buy this mini as their only tablet, they would have to use another device for 4k video. Overall a decent deal.
