    Great tablet on the go! It does everything my mom wants it to do without being to inconvenient. She's able to watch YouTube or browse her social media without an issue. The battery lasts a long time also so she can go a few days without charging it if she uses it for an hour or three a day.

    Right size screen, too bad Apple eliminated the 128GB offering. It’s an Apple device so it just works right out of the box. The screen is bright and responsive would definitely recommend.

    I have the regular I pad which I also love and the pro which is the largest. Honestly I really like all 3. I wondered why get another? Well worth it. It so much easier to take along with me and even use as an e-reader. AND you can use the ipad pen also ... no complaints what so ever and no regrets

    Apple mini ipad

    It's OK. I have not used Apple products since the original ipad. Like most electronics companies Apple products become obsolete after several years. I cannot use most apps now with my old ipad because I have not been able to update the operating system for several years. Too bad Apple especially does not provide for updating the ram and regular memory. Anyway, the ipad mini is very light. So far, the only real complaint about it specifically is that it would not load web pages after an update...after hours of tinkering, I figured out it was the VPN (Nord)...but it worked fine before update.

    I replaced a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 with this Ipad. It's my first Apple product and I must say it's been excellent compared to the S2 that I had. Admittedly, the Ipad is newer, however. It is very responsive and I've had no lag in any application I've run. I've been very happy with this purchase.

    Got this for a toddler and it responds fast and allows him to watch all his PBS videos and play the various games. Apple products are super dumb expensive but the ipad is the best tablet on the market where you dont have to comprise on the app store or in some other capacity.

    I have been waiting for the new mini for about 3 years or more because I wanted something bigger than an iPhone and smaller than an iPad. Something I could carry around in my bag for quick easy work and it’s been the best purchase! I’ve gotten more on this than my actual MacBook and my iPhone. I’m a very happy customer!

    Perfect! I love everything about this iPad mini 5th generation. I mostly read Kindle on it, but it’s nice to have you tube videos bigger, and to have my notifications for other apps while reading, without having to get out my phone. The size is perfect for reading.

    Because of the current school closures, we found we needed something for Zoom calls. We already had a full size iPad, but this mini comes in handy when we have more than one going on at the same time. It’s compact, has the fingerprint recognition, and appears to have everything we have in our larger iPad.

    This iPad mini is a great tablet to use and it much quicker than previous generations. Highly recommend this one to anyone who already owns other Apple devices or is looking to upgrade their existing e-reader without having to manage a larger device like the regular iPad.

    iPad mini 4 was getting so slow. Happy to upgrade and the new mini 5 is super fast. Really benefits from the A12 cpu. Touch ID also faster and the display is bright and colorful.

    The latest version of the iPad mini is perfect. You can use the Apple Pencil and take notes or do larger tasks that used to take a laptop or desktop to do. I am an Audio Engineer and I use the iPad mini for tuning the system while playing music and receiving client communications all at the same time.

    I had a Nexus 7 then a Samsung galaxy S2 tablet. Both were good but can’t hold a candle to the iPad. I also love that it pSirs with my iPhone and that Apple will support it for twice as long as Samsung did The wa e is for larger tAblets but this is the perfect size for easy handheld use
