    Very easy to use my smallest child loves it great for road trips small enough for their hands so they can maneuver it and not worrying about them dropping or damaging it

    I've always owned Android tablets, Samsung, Asus, Google Nexus, so this was my first time trying Apple. Pros: Great battery life. Seems smooth and speedy, even with racing games. Cons: Not as easy to navigate as Android with only the one home button. Screen not as bright or clear as my 5yr old Samsung tablet. Overall I am happy with it and like that it isn't so huge, can hold it up without arm getting tired.

    Got this at a great price! Happy with the mini. Apple needs to improve screen durability though, it's way to easy to crack. It fell off my sons bed on the rug and already has a crack, even though I put a good screen protector on beforehand. Battery life needs improvement too but speed, sound, and display quality are nice

    This is the prefect in between size not to big or small. Easy to carry around and extremely light weight in the hands. I just wish they would make a mini pro version that is all screen.

    Fast, bright, and light. Everything you want from an iPad that isn’t clunky or high-octane. The speaker is tiny but that’s what Bluetooth is for. Great device.

    Perfect size. The iPad is too big for me. I'm mainly using the iPad mini for games. You don't feel like you're compromising on anything with the mini. It's plenty big and is easier to pack!

    I basically have every product that Apple has ever created... yes, I'm a fan boy. The thing I love about the iPad Mini compared to its full-size counterparts is that it's just the perfect size... it's big enough to do the mundane things I want to do, and small and light enough that it isn't a burden to take around the house or outside of the house. In addition this smaller version charges-up very rapidly... I will plug it in first thing in the morning and by mid-morning it's ready to go. It's integration with Apple iCloud is superb and once you experience that you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
