    This iPad was a gift for my mother who is in her late 50s. It is easy to use and a convenient size for traveling and couch time. With 32gb it's a decent amount of space for pictures and music.

    Why pay so much when a mini works great

    I got this for my daughter, she keeps it in her purse and uses it to FaceTime her boyfriend and mother. Listens to music all the stuff a teenager does. She tells me that if it didn't fit into her purse she would not use it so much other than when she is home. Great deal and as useful as a regular size pad for a teenager

    it was about time to upgrade from my first ipad generation 1, so i went shopping for the newest ones on the market. the ipad mini is a good choice for all of the functional apps that i interact with, from viewing video, pictures/editing, and reading.

    Excellent tablet for travel and something simple to use. You can use it anywhere without having too much space for it. Download movies and browse your apps,emails and watch netflix. Keep the regular ipad at home and enjoy the mini ipad on the road.

    I had bought an Asus 2 in 1 and couldn't figure out Windows 8. I don't know how anyone could! I've had an iPhone for almost 5 years now, the iPad is like a huge version of my phone, which made it so much easier to surf the web for me! I love it!!

    Though they have discontinued this model, it is still receiving all of apples latest updates (iOS 11.1) and will be very relevant for quite some time.. these are being sold at very low prices, and buying a refurbished one is a solid buying option as iPads are built like Sherman tanks!

    I upgraded my 8 year old twins from iPod touch 5th gens to these. Love them. Screen size is such an improvement over the touch. The boys didn't want a full size iPad because their fingers didn't reach the on screen game controls. These are perfect.

    The size of this tablet is perfect for smaller hands. My 7 & 9 year olds can easily manage this device. It's very user-friendly and was reasonably priced.

    As a die hard Apple fan this was a no brainer. Previous iPad had cellular service and was lost. Since my iPhone has a Hot Spot I just went with a 32 GB unit as most of my music is now on the cloud or with Spotify. Stayed with older version as I couldn't justify the price increase for just the thumb activation.

    Don't Waste Money on iPad Mini 3

    The biggest difference between the Mini 2 and 3 is that the 3 has the fingerprint recognition. If it's time for you to upgrade from a Mini 1 and you don't care about the fingerprint login, the 2 has the exact same processor in it. I'd recommend either going with the 2 or wait until the Mini 4 is released.

    I originally had an iPad 2 and upgraded to this. I like it because it's smaller and easier to carry, making it more portable. At the same time, it's faster. I am happy with this purchase.

    This iPad is not much different than the original. Same frame, in fact you can use the same cases, The display is slightly better and so is the camera.

    I love my iPad mini! I check my email on it, read books, play games, listen to music, etc. I use it more than my laptop. I rarely boot up my computer since I bought the iPad. It's small enough to slip into a purse and take with you. It's easy to use and there are a lot of free and low cost useful apps.

    Traded in my iPad 3 for this since I only use it when traveling to watch video and surf the net on the plane. The iPad Mini w/ Retina is perfect for the job in the size and battery life. The Retina display makes everything look sharp and crisp. The only two downsides is (1) finding a decent case for it. Make sure to read the packaging and that it is specifically for a Mini w/ Retina as the Retina version is like .02mm thicker than the regular Mini and doesn't snap fully into some cases. And (2) the screen doesn't have a widescreen ratio and when you watch movies in widescreen format (so every single movie out these days) it letter boxes and makes the movie even smaller on a already small screen.

    I just love all the possibilities that the iPad mini 2 allows the user to do. The App Store has a huge amount of free apps that are great tools for productivitity. The screen is bright and clear. Easy to use. There is also lots of options for accessories. Would recommend to friends and enemies alike :)
