    I love it. I'm a petite woman so for me this mini ipad is the perfect size. I didn't want anything large that would be too heavy on my hands, and it fits almost in any purse to carry around.

    I've had the mini for just over three weeks. I mainly use it for vedio chat & streaming. It's the perfect size for my hands; I'm able to stream movies while laying in bed. Perfect for the current times.

    Got this to replace my wife’s ancient original iPad mini. She prefers the small form factor for carrying in her purse and reading books. Very nice screen and the Apple Pencil support is a nice plus.

    I bought this because I lost my older iPad mini. This iPad last way longer than any android tablet. Also, Apple covers warranty from Best Buy, which is a plus if you need support.

    I had been disappointed with my Fire tablet and wanted to replace it with an IPad mini. Best Buy had the item at a very comparable price. It was delivered quickly and the entire order process was simple.

    I loved my first mini. It was acting up, so I bought another one. I like the mini for traveling. I use it in my classroom as well. Unlike the other name brand e-readers, I can use several e-reader apps!

    A couple years back I bought my wife the regular iPad. She's complained about the size since that day. Finally she's happy again! And it's not buggy at all, like her last one.

    My husband requires a lot of light when he reads. He loves to read his Bible everyday and I thought this would be the answer - sure enough!!! He loves it and can choose any translation he desires! Was a big hit!!!!

    This is perfect for what I wanted. Reading books and streaming shows on Netflix and the like. Also easier to shop on line as the navigation is easier vs. a cell phone. Speed is good too. Very happy.
