    My iPad 4 stopped functioning properly, I did all the tricks to try and fix it. Apple also tried remotely to help me out. Needless to say...it's dead. I absolutely have to have to have an iPad. I do everything on that thing, especially when I am traveling. I am waiting for the iPad Pro to come down in cost. In the mean time, I came across this find on-line at Best Buy!! It was the right price at the right time. I certainly lucked out. It was so reasonable that I that it was a refurbished iPad....nope, brand new in the box. Love it...love it....love it!!

    I use the iPad mini basically for playing games and checking my emails and messages. I have a Mac Pro and an iPhone so I needed something in a size between these two. So tired of trying to do all this on my iPhone's very small screen and don't want to carry around the Mac all the time. I don't need an enormous amount of gb and didn't want to spend the money on it either. I bought this on sale and then two weeks later it was on sale for even less! So I went to Best Buy and they credited my account for the difference with no questions asked. This works for me!

    I love the size since it fits in one hand easily and the price is great too! Love that I could trade my old one in for $181 and spend $70 more to get a new device!

    I was looking for a decent iPad Mini on sale, and thankfully I stumbled across one on sale online - and was able to pick it up at the store a few days later. The iPad is just incredible - wonderful for music, videos, pictures, and checking out apps. Brilliant.

    It's a great product. It's leaps and bounds better then the Google nexus 7 that I previously owned. More apps better screen quality. It's just a better product overall

    Cmon it's an iPad. You know you want it so why are you reading reviews. The ONLY thing I would say about this is I've been spoiled by my phone and miss the fingerprint scanner for unlock. Go gen 3 or higher if your too lazy to enter a four digit passcode.

    I have purchased about three different brand devices from other brands (Digiland, Asus and Amazon Kindle) for my kids and they did not at all measure up to Apple iPad Mini! You’re better off spending the money up front than wasting your time and money on the alternatives. If you can’t afford it now, just save up the money and buy the Apple iPad Mini instead. It’s so worth it. My kids have had theirs since I bought them and there hasn’t been a problem. I think that they have had their iPad minis for about two years now.

    Couldn't be happier with my purchase. Great price. Was somewhat concerned the product had been opened but happy with the Geek Squad checking it out to make sure nothing was wrong with it. Saved over $80 at time of purchase. Would definitely do it again.
