    We had two Kindles break in the same month and decided to go with the more reliable iPad mini. It cost more but does much more. When we can travel again we may buy a Kindle again to take to the beach.

    This was an open box item so I was a little nervous when purchasing it but I’m so glad I did. It was in perfect condition was already reset and included everything in the box.

    I bought this for my father so he could face time the family while he was in the hospital during Covid and we couldn’t visit with him. He used it everyday and still does now that he’s home .

    We use them for timeclocks. They were cheaper than the original equipment, non proprietary, and I only bought this replacement because the manager left the original unlocked and a homeless person stole it.

    We needed an upgrade and this has helped. We stood in the store for 10 minutes and watched two associates walk but without saying a word, but the 3rd one took care of us very well.

    I really have been enjoying this iPad mini. I have an 12.9 iPad Pro but it’s not always easy to use it out in the field. This purchase allows that versatility and makes work completed on one available on both.

    Bought as a Birthday gift for my wife. She has been nothing but happy with it. She especially likes being able to make and answer phone calls wherever she is. She has had no problems yet and continues to swear by Apple!!

    It’s such a great iPad and it’s the first iPad I’ve ever bought. It as on the small side so if you want. Bigger iPad your better going for just a regular iPad. It’s really powerful and it’s very useful.
