    We purchased a first generation Ipad when they were originally introduced and have been using it up until a few months ago. We recently replaced that model with the Ipad Mini 2 and like it even more than the original. It's super easy to navigate and has all of the features we desire for browsing the web and keeping up on social media.

    I have an iPad mini and love t so much, I decided to get one for my dad for Christmas. He LOVES reading books on it, checking his mail, surfing the web, and playing games. He's in his seventies and finally getting into technology. I love Apple products because they last forever and are guaranteed. I would highly recommend this product.

    I like its size . It is just right for my use. I do find some hangups when I use it. Sometimes it is too sensitive and other times I have a hard time getting it to react.. I like how bright and clear it is and the fact that it and my phone are managed the same way. No new learning curve.,

    My first Apple product was the MacBook Air which was so frustrating to learn. After 6 months I was hooked on it. So I had reservations about the iPad and hesitated for years. But from the first instant, I found it easy to use, more intuitive than the MacBook Air. It's a wonderful product.

    I love the iPad mini. I specifically bought this one because it fits easily in my purse. I can take it along to work and school and it not be an inconvenience to carry. I got the attachable keyboard to make typing quicker. I love the fact that all of my apple products sync information so when I update info (calendar, passwords on internet, and even take photos) on one device the info goes to all of them. It's much easier to send emails, update my calendar, type notes, etc on my iPad vs iphone. I also like watching netflix on it too.

    Purchased this during the holiday season when it was on sale. Would be a good beginner product for anyone handling small tasks. Just a bigger version of iPhone. End up returning it to upgrade to mini 4 it was on sale the wk after

    Its unfortunate that Apple stopped the 64GB version on the older ipad models. Nevertheless, I decided to save some money by buying an older one. I using mine mainly for reading, email, doing some minor internet-tasks, youtube, and rarely for watching movies. Its a pleasure doing any of these on the ipad. I love the fact that most websites do not load their mobile versions by default (like in phone). On the full size ipad, typing in landscape mode is equivalent to typing on a full size keyboard - on the mini though, the hands get a bit cramped. That's the disadvantage of the mini. Though I have not tried reading on the full size ipad, I have a feeling that reading on the mini is a marginally better experience. But this is subjective and varies from person to person. After a week of good usage, there seems to be a minor scratch on the bottom bezel - I figure that while the gorilla glass is really scratch proof (yes, don't invest in a screen protector and all that - the youtube video with a genius-kiddo trying to unsuccessfully scratch the screen with a sharp knife), good care needs to be taken for the bezel and the back. Get a reasonable case that will protect the ipad from such scratches but don't expect the case to withstand drops from heights.

    Great gift at a great holiday price. Apple products have great customer support. Our daughter is 8 and the I-pad is the perfect gift for her this year. Product is easy setup. Recommend a very sturdy cast and screen protection to ensure an extended life of this ipad. She loves the iPad and was the perfect age to get her own vs using her brothers or sisters
