    This is the second Ipad we have purchased and this one is certainly an improvement over the first. The first one was purchased about 5 or 6 years ago. It has more memory, seems faster than previous one and was easy to set up. All in all it delivers to the customer the specified technology as well as satisfying value.

    Love the Mini! We received excellent customer service from Best Buy on our iPad mini purchase. Normally they don’t ship but our nearest Best But is over 2 hours away so they made it happen! The mini is wonderful and is the perfect size for reading in bed. I love the new features and the clear, bright screen. Love it!

    I owned a iPad min 4 for 3 years and it served me well. I was concerned that the mini 5 wasn’t worth the upgrade as most things about them are the same but this new gpu and A12X processor make the 4 feel like a dinosaur. Also doesn’t hurt to have 3 gig of ram now too. So far no complaints

    Great little tablet. Bought it to replace a 2nd generation iPad mini which was starting to how battery wear. The new mini is faster and was very easy to transfer all the data to. Also have a standard iPad which is great, although this is nice to use for checking emails and web surfing.

    I needed a device for my reading. Tried Kindle, but returned as the screen in smaller and only supports books in English. Got this ipad- perfect screen size, still can have my Kindle books through kindle app, plus have other reading platforms, and able to surf internet when need to. Very happy with it.

    I ha drew original iPad mini with LTE and gave it up since it really didn’t do much for me. However this latest version is really not bad. I do most of my work on this little guy and I have to admit it’s not bad.
