    I absolutely love my new iPad Mini. I live and die with my iPad, the mini is just the right size to fit comfortably into my purse (it’s a little big) to take anywhere I happen to go. The improved technology exceeds my expectations.

    The 7.9" size is perfect or me as I have owned iPad Minis before and prefer them over their larger counterparts. great for gaming and movies as well as browsing the internet yet I know they can be used to create content if i so chose to do so

    This replaced my older Ipad mini 2, which had diminishing battery life, and would no longer update to the newer IOs. Love the size for reading Kindle and Nook apps, checking email and Facebook. Fits in my purse. Very versatile.

    I have had this ipad for about a month now and so far am very happy with my purchase. I wanted the ipad to offload some of the apps taking room on my iPhone and am glad that they all run smoothly on the mini.

    This is my second iPad Mini. Upgraded from an iPad 2. This unit is fast and the migration of all my data from old iPad to this one was seamless and done in minutes. Looking forward to using some of the new features in this latest version of iOS.

    Have held out on purchasing Ipads because of cost but after having multiple tablets that run slow as dirt and switching between apps is slow, it was a nice change to get on this device and it function like I hope. Kids love it too, just try to have them be careful with it.

    I upgraded from my old iPad mini, as it was becoming out of date for some of the apps that I wanted to use. I like the mini's smaller size for carrying with me, although for doing a lot of artwork the larger size might be a better option.

    This is my first purchase of an Apple item. I've always had android pads and phone. My nephew who only buys Apple products convinced me to purchase the Mimi IPad and wow! I love it. Perfect size I carry it with me everywhere. Perfect purchase!

    I was tired of getting shirts, socks and my kids art craft. So I got myself a real Father's Day gift. I got to admit it was a good decide. From watching shows to playing games. But to also do a little stock exchanging, buying and selling

    I have had iPads ever since launch day and this one does not disappoint. The new specs are awesome, even on this entry level machine. So much so, that I went out and got another Mini right after this! They had it for a great price, too!

    The iPad mini is a tablet that I prefer for the sleek design, the screen size, and the quality of the product. I am not an Apple fan nor an Android, but this tablet is a good deal. No wonder they don't discount such a product.

    the Ipad is capable of replacing your laptop (depending on what type of work or applications you need to run) but it can pretty do anything a laptop can do, but at a much lighter weight and more portability.

    Have always been a fan of Apple product quality and this one did not disappoint. The mini especially is a perfect size because it’s a little larger than a large phone and much more compact and a regular tablet. Portability and readability at its best.
