    This iPad mini 5 replaces my iPad mini 2; moreover needles to say the technology has come a long way in just short of 7 years. Multitasking, split screen while browsing, convenient size and really great drawing capabilities makes this model ideal for travel and taking it easy either inside or outside.

    I got this for my wife and she loves it! Great for school/gaming/personal use, its powerful enough for anything you throw at it! Only things I would change are the average black levels on the display and having to use a 1st gen Apple Pencil as the charging procedure is whack unless you get a dock for it.

    It came in amazing condition, it basically looked brand new. And I believe it also came with a charger. As a college student, I’d say it comes in handy.

    I bought the Mini 5th Gen as a Best Buy "open box" item. Just as promised it arrived in as new condition. I use the Mini 5 primarily to fly my drones, and it works very well.
