    My 5 year old had an ipad 2, I decided to get her the ipad mini because it would be easier for her to transport. Little did i know her favorite thing to do on it is talk to siri, lol. Great size for kids (i do recommend getting a good protective case.)

    Purchased for my wife, she loves the size, ease of use, and display. It fits in her purse, briefcase, and it goes everywhere with her. Better than diamonds.

    Bought 3 ipad minis for our kids for Christmas. Two of them already had ipods but the small screen is limiting so we wanted to upgrade them. It was the perfect gift, all 3 of them loved and couldn't wait to transfer everything from the pods to the minis.

    Apple never ceases to amaze me. I did not think I needed the mini, but after buying and using it, I do not know how I lived without it. I can carry it in my purse and pull it out when I have a chance. I do all my homework on it, as I am a grad student.

    I love getting to see my family members on FaceTime! My iPad is awesome to be able to carry it around with me instead of a bulky computer. Still learning to use it, I'm 63. Years old and not savy with technology so this is handy for multiple things.

    Santa bought this for my 3rd and final holdout of my children, my daughter. No all 3 of my children have one and enjoy them for apps and taking pictures, facetime, etc. Great product. HOWEVER, buy a case, not just a cover! Face glass breaks easily!

    I purchased this iPad for my son for his 8th birthday. This product/item has been heaven sent. This item replaced his 5th generation iPod. I love how it fits into his little hands and it offers everything that he needs for games and education.

    Upgraded my wife's iPad 1 first edition to the iPad 2 mini. This was a great move as we have had no issues and the performance is 10x better. Very pleased with my sales rep who explained differences and recommended the best option for her needs.

    Bought for my 10 yr old son. He finds it easy to navigate the apps, play games and surf the internet. Paired it with a otterbox defender case for added protection. Appears to be more durable and more user friendly than Kindle Fire it replaced.

    I bought this for my wife for Christmas. She said she loved the screen, and that the size was just right - bigger than her phone, but small enough to basically use one-handed (and therefore not have to wrestle as much with our toddler for it).

    If your an Apple fan the Mini doesn't disappoint. You have to decide if the Mini 3 is worth the extra cost just for the Finger Print sensor though. Should be noted that with all the media and apps available today the 16GB is going to go fast.

    I wanted to get an iPad as a present for my father. I knew he would mostly want to use it to browse the web, listen to music and watch some videos so nothing to intricate or complicated was needed. This iPad is perfect. It has everything you could ever need for simple use and my dad loves it because it is very easy to maneuver. Plus, the price is great.

    Price adjustment problems

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The iPad mini is a great new add for our son my only complaint is with Best Buy's price matching. It took no less than four calls into customer service to try to get a price adjustment to match Wal-Mart's price. I finally had to go into the store to get the reduced rate. All in all the iPad is great, Best Buy just needs to work on it's phone support which seemed to disconnect me after speaking with a rep to resolve my price match request.

    Moved my wife from android to apple because of interface. She loves it. The screen is gorgeous and the size is perfect. Have never been an apple advocate however this is a great product especially if used for reading and internet browsing.
