    Great for media! I use it as a streamer connecting a dac and headphone amp for high resolution Apple Music. It also is great in a tablet mount for the kido on trips. I love the smaller form factor

    Bought it on sale, solid iPad for the money. I prefer the amazon fire for the money but iPad has better apps and integrates nicely with other apple devices

    My son broke his 2nd generation iPad so we bought this one. It pretty much does the same things as the old one except a little faster and is more compatible with newer apps.

    I love my iPad mini! My previous one died after many years of use. I didn’t realize how much it had slowed down until I got my new iPad. Even though my old iPad was completely dead, I couldn’t believe how easy it was to transfer over all of my data into my new iPad.

    I like the mini for traveling since it is quite small. If I'm taking it on a plane, I can fit it in my back pocket whilst boarding. Its nice to have over the big iPad's sometimes

    Because I have a lot to learn on computers, even though I have used them for some time, I was impressed with some of your Geeks. Hands up to Marya Graham. She listened and was able to help my husband me. To upgrade from a 7 which I used for 20 some years has and is challenging, but I/we can do it! The same goes for the I Pad. Working on that too. Just have to understand the cloud and how to use it is my latest project. Like the HP Desktop all in one and the Apple I Pads - my 2nd one. And continue to use your Geek program.

    This was a great gift for someone. they are very happy with the product, getting used to it is a little bit of a challenge, but they’re navigating quite well. I was happy to receive one for this individual , price can always be better on purchase but I was grateful to get one

    The iPad 5 mini with 64gb, cost a little bit more than I wanted to spend. I didn’t want something as large as the iPad and as small as my iPhone, the mini is perfect.

    Good versatile product. I’m a novice, once I made the purchase I realized a Mac Book was needed, so I returned the iPad mini and bought the MacBook. Now, after seeing what the iPad mini can also do, I’m going to re-purchase the mini, as well!

    Bought this after Apple made it so that you can use the Apple Pencil with the Mini iPad. I carry it around work in lieu of a little notepad and it works great: I have an easy to carry notebook that also has internet access and my apps. Apple Pencil works great with the Mini iPad.

    iPad mini 5 well worth the upgrade for improved graphics and speed alone. It’s been about 4 years since last upgrade so don’t see a replacement coming soon.

    It’s an Apple product and you only hope that Apple gives you enough time before they bring out another one but I’m typically good about keeping it for a while until it’s necessary to have a grade and this one was a worthwhile upgrade from the previous one I had.

    Purchased this as a gift for my Son & Daughter in law. They recently had a beautiful baby girl and with social distancing, we were not allowed to visit since my wife & I both work in retail daily. We can now see here every day via Facetime. The audio and video quality is fantastic.

    If you need a little iPad this is the way to go but Apple needs to stop charging premiums this iPad mini is worth $300 tops

    My 9 year old grandson loves it - it has made connecting with his friends and family so much better for him during this time of isolation. He also can easily do his own research projects, look up things he needs to know for a book he is writing etc.

    Apple iPad doesn't need introduction or reference. Go try it yourself at any store. It all depends on what screen size you want, How much GB storage do you want, how much weight you want to carry and how much are you willing to pay.
