    Not really an Apple fan but there is a reason everybody compares their stuff to Apple. Apple seems to get it right. All around features, usability and availability of apps make This hard to beat.

    This iPad works just as expected. It is fast and simple and very clean. I have used other tablets and love this one the most. It's size is comfortable, but yet the screen is big enough to enjoy.

    It is fast with browsing, videos, and apps. The camera is a little lacking but who uses an iPad to take pictures? Works seamlessly with my AppleTv too.

    Half the price of a new iPad mini 4. A7 processor still has legs and runs iOS 10 well. 32 gb of storage is a bit tight these days, but is workable. Definitely still a good deal.

    This iPad mini does everything my full size iPad does it's just a lot more compact. My wife uses it for her everyday use and it's small enough to fit inside her purse. Great HD images and super fast.

    Its compact enough to carry anywhere. I carry this mini when I don't want to carry my Macbook pro. It's synced up so I get all my files and I can also work easily on the plane.

    Best mini tablet on the market

    Excellent device, just as good as the iPad Air but smaller, if you're in the market for a tablet or even a low end laptop, take a look at the iPad mini with Retina. Far better in use than a Nexus 7.

    Purchased for my daughter for grad school. She loves it for the size and uses. She still uses a laptop but this is much more convenient to carry to class and sync her phone, ipad, and mac computer.

    I also have a full size iPad and the size and wieght is sometimes a little too much for extended use. This Mini give me everything I need in a lightweight to go form. I now find myself using this more often than the full size iPad.

    Why I love Best Buy

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

    I wanted an iPad Mini 2 to replace an older, larger iPad. Best Buy matched the low price found on the MicroCenter website. They are a pleasure to deal with and no question is too ridiculous for them to answer. I couldn't be happier with the iPad--and with the wonderful service provided by Best Buy.

    Purchased this instead of mini 3 due to price. The only other difference is the Touch ID pad on the mini 3. Everything else is exactly the same.
