    I’ve been using this iPad mini for 6 months now, and the glow hasn’t faded—it’s still perfect! It’s so capable, the size is perfect, it makes my life so much easier—I even love using it for work! I do wish the battery life was longer, mainly because I love to stream video as I work (during breaks, of course!) and I use it all day. It’s totally worth it and I can’t think of any way it could be improved (outside of also running Windows through some sort of Bootcamp deal—looking at you, Apple!). You’re going to love it too!

    I purchased this for my wife to replace a Samsung Tab S2. She is much happier with the mini as it is lighter. She does a lot of reading on it and it is easier on her arms and hands.

    It's an iPad mini. I wanted something a little smaller to enjoy streaming, surfing the web and playing a few games on. I get what I wanted out of it.

    It's the latest iPad Mini. Does what it's supposed to and better than the competition. I tried to give my daughter a Samsung a little while ago and she basically laughed at it.
