    I’m not into the latest tech. I patiently wait for my next upgrade to an older (but new to me) model. I also don’t require the hugest, biggest, largest size. This mini is perfect for me.

    I was actually looking for a e-reader, but all the readers in the current market have some limitations, like only viewable black and white, the screen is too small. I love it so far how I can save PDFs so easy, the words are very crisp and clear.

    This was a great deal, I just purchased , was shipped within one day, it was a very easy setup as well, I done the backup from my Apple IPhone 10, no problems at all, I highly recommend buying this if you are looking for a IPad

    Best Buy is very prompt. I ordered my iPad, it was mailed within two days. And although it was a few days late, nothing Best Buy could control. I’m very happy about my purchase. I’d definitely recommend.

    I was very impressed with the help I received. The salesman let me price compare and gave me the lowest price. He didn't make me feel like a "dummy" when I asked several questions. I appreciated his kindness and patience.

    Ease of use or lack thereof is that I have a hard time with tech things. I hate when I think I am going along OK and then something happens. the purchase i made to tell me how to set up Ipad was totally worthless and wanted my money back.

    I purchased this item and was told I get a 10% rebate. I got points I probably wouldn't want. That is very disappointing. The ipad works fine but your customer service is not what I expected to receive from Best Buy.

    I checked and checked and Best buy had the best price so in the end it was truly the Bestbuy and I checked most of them all. Now I'm on to Apple earpods and it's looking like it's going to be another Best buy purchase :)

    Bought a open box mini and it was perfect. Not new to iPads so knew what to expect. Have good experience with Best Buy I like the fact that you do not have to go looking somewhere else for support.

    Bought this for my wife after hers started acting up. Geek Squad made sure everything was looked over. It was an Open Box item. She is very happy with it and the upgrade from the last one.
