    I recently had the IPad Pro which I loved, but I wanted something smaller, and found this IPad Mini to be the perfect size and price for me. Its got everything I need and was able to get the size and storage capacity that I wanted.

    Great little Ipad that is handy to carry around. Screen size is OK for e-mail and general web surfing. Much lighter that previous model full size Ipads. Familiar operating system also a plus! Now if they can just make them $200 cheaper and more durable!

    This was purchased for my daughter; she will use it for taking tests and completing assignments at school. It is a standard Apple product, with all of the normal Pros and Cons that entails. If you are not already familiar I encourage you to explore the specifics online. Apologies for what is a useless review. 1) I'm not using it, I just had to pay for it. 2) Best Buy keeps sending me emails requesting I review it. And 3) they will give me points for completing the review (and stop emailing me). For the record, I like Best Buy quite a bit as a place to purchase Apple products. Their sales staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, and I don't have to deal with the Apple Store throng.

    Love my iPad mini. Great resolution and so much faster to access info than my computer. It's very portable and takes great pictures. Purchased at a reasonable price and appreciated having a free Geek Squad session included.

    I just bought my mini and LOVE IT yay. but have a complaint about a store, less than a week after my in store purchase I was notified by the bestbuy app there was a limited time offer for $50.00 off the orig purchase price of $269.99. That would be $219.99 YAY, totally excited I called the store in Bend Oregon and asked if they could credit me the difference. The manager said they could not price match because it was offered through the app only, but I could return the device back to the store and wait to have the credit apply back to my bestbuy credit card then purchase the device from the bestbuy app and have it sent to the store for pick up! WHAT? I just had surgery and Running around for a credit price match what an inconvenience. After researching on the bestbuy website about price match they do honor the price match in app and online so I called the main 800 number and talked with a wonderful lady after explaining the matter she took care of it right then no questions or defeated worries! Love you bestbuy corp! Bend Store You need to start taken care of you customers for REAL! I will be shopping less with you because you don't seem to care about me!
