    It is smaller than expected but good things come in small packages. Apple keeps making these lighter, faster and more responsive. Worth the price tag.

    Best iPad ever!

    Best iPad ever. Period. This is an iPad Pro in a mini. Same power, in fact because of the smaller screen the same resolution comes in crisper than any iPad ever seen. With an apple pencil, you have a travel notebook...literally. The only reason to pay upwards of $800 more for an iPad Pro is if you want to pay for the special keyboard. If you want the larger screen size that is not one hand hold easy then iPad Pro is for you as well. Here is the thing though: the iPad Pro is not a laptop killer even though they try to say it is, it is an iPad trying to be a laptop...very capably, but it is not a laptop. Same with windows surface by the way, it is not an iPad killer and I am not talking about ecosystem either; the windows surface pro is a laptop in its origin trying to be a tablet, it does it very well, but is not a tablet in as much as the windows os makes it a laptop. If you are tracking, the iPad mini is in a sweet spot if you want a hand sized tablet as it is the most powerful out there. If you want a laptop buy a laptop. If you are like me, the apple ecosystem is the best one, so it came down to whether I wanted an apple laptop or a tablet and I wanted the best tablet, iPad mini is the best tablet.

    Love this IPad mini. Was trying to decide between an IPad and the mini. So glad I got the mini. Just the size I wanted. Very convenient to take with you.

    Was debating between this and iPad Pro. Has same processor as older iPad Pro and screen. The size is perfect and it will use first Apple Pencil or Logitech crayon. Saved lots of money.

    I picked up an iPad mini to get a larger screen than my phone but a more portable device than my laptop. I've been happy with it so far.

    The Apple iPad mini from 2019 is the perfect size to carry everywhere in most bags because it's thin and lightweight. Great for taking notes with the Apple pencil.

    If you’re looking for a simple tablet with great performance, definitely give the Ipad Mini 5 a look. The cost to performance ratio is ideal and Apple usually supports their tablets for many years after production ends. The only knock I have against this tablet is the outdated design form vs. the new design form of the Ipad Pro’s and the new Ipad Air.

    My 8 year old loves her new tablet. It is a good size for her and it can do everything she needs. This was a replacement to an older model iPad mini and it is far superior.
