    I hated to give up my old iPad as it was a gift from my department upon my retirement but at six years old it was getting tired. The new one is remarkable!

    My elderly dad mentioned he could not update his previous mini I pad. He was so happy how fast this new one worked. Great product. Easy for him to use.

    On the smaller size but it’s perfect for me. About the size of a kindle... perfect for traveling and using as a phone without actually using my phone. Couldn’t be happier.

    This is faster and more responsive than the older one I have. My only gripe is I wish it didn't cost so much to add more memory and the cellular GPS feature.

    Best form factor in my opinion for reading ebooks, surfing the web and running daily apps. Battery life is less than the 9.7/10.2 inch iPads.

    I’ve had a few iPad minis over the years and I can say I love them. They fit perfectly in a diaper bag or purse and it’s a fantastic thing to have wherever you go.

    I love this iPad. It's the perfect size. It's a little bit bigger than my iPhone, but if I don't want to lug my MacBook Pro out to the couch, this works well.

    Big upgrade over an older iPad. Prefer this one to the newer models with the sharper edges. A solid buy for small portability.
