    Light size and weight are advantages. However regular size basic iPad is a better value.

    I really like this product, I use it for school. The accessibility feature in this item is very good. I love using it for not only schooling purposes but also just to stream Netflix, YouTube, and get on social media. I'm very happy with this purchase.

    I like the size of the mini iPad, it’s perfect for my use. It’s so easy to take along with you when traveling. I also have the 11 inch with the keypad that works perfect for at home. I would definitely recommend the mini and the 11 inch.

    Had for over a year, my son is six now and still using this. He loves it. It has plenty of space for games and educational apps. It streams Netflix and more. Battery starting to get a little off but it’s been through a lot with him in a year.

    Bought this to replace an Ipad mini 2 that my daughter had for 4 years. The old one was not charging well anymore and my wife and I felt it was due an upgrade. Really cool that the Apple Pencil Gen 1 works with it too. Got it for tree fiddy on sale!

    My fiance needed a new iPad. Not by her standards as her original iPad Mini still "worked," but by my standards of apps aren't written for iOS 9 that she could only update to. She loves the new one and can hardly put it down. Happy future spouse in the house.

    Great to get latest iPad mini to replace an aging iPad. Glad to be able to be up to date with apps and has great picture quality for viewing videos. Relatively easy to transfer data from older unit and one glitch was easily resolved with Apple support.

    The iPad mini is everything I was expecting it to be. It was a replacement for an older model that just went belly up. The buying process, payment and getting the physical unity was smooth and without incidents. Very happy with the whole experience.

    Purchased this for my mom who originally had the first ipad mini and needed a new one because it no longer updated. Now my mom is on it ALL of the time. Love the color, sleek view and vast colors seen as compared to the old one.

    This unit came just fine, I had to get a replacement for the first one but this is perfect, I'm just a little dissapointed because they did not have the same color but I can't comply about the Customer Service, Always great :).
