    This is our third iPad purchase. We bought this mini for our daughter to play games, movies and all since we are moving overseas and will not have Internet. So far she has been able to navigate it easily and enjoys everything about it

    Still One of the Best Tablets Out There

    This tablet is great. Minus the touch ID and gold color option, this has the exact same specs as the current generation of iPad Mini. The Retina display and upgraded processor really are a step-up from the first iteration of this device. Great tablet for people looking to have iOS in a smaller package.

    Outside of this being kind of expensive, it is a great gift for my family. It's super fast and easy to use. There are a ton of apps, that everyone can choose from. I use it during the day at work for quick downloads of my projects and communications with clients. In my spare time, it's used for social networking and game play. My children use it on weekends for school related software and gaming. We also use it for watching movies, videos and playing music. It pretty much covers all of our social and entertainment needs, in a very compact package.

    If you own any mac computer then you need this ipad. The ease of use, immediate access to all your documents, and easy portablility makes this a must have for anyone that works outside their office, especially meeting people and needing to refer to calendar, notes, spreadsheets, or other documents.

    Loved my iPad Air, which replaced my original iPad that didn't have enough memory for all the things I use the machine for, and decided to purchase a 32Gb mini for my wife's use. Always instantly available and reliable even after being treated not-so-kindly (tossed, dropped many times).

    I purchased the iPad mini to serve as a traveling resource: reading material, travel guide resources, and games for entertainment. I also purchased it for a school resource to allow me to record and upload progress of projects.

    I have had an iPad (1st generation) since they came out. I absolutely loved it then. But over time, it became clear that I may not be able to keep it with me at all times. I tried; I bought new purses only after making sure that my iPad would fit in it. I use my iPad to read during lunch at work and for multiple things. When the iPad mini was released, I knew that it would be perfect for me! I still use my original iPad at home (I watch Hulu, Netflix, & YouTube videos on it while I am cooking), but I love that I can take my iPad mini everywhere with me. It's so small and lightweight that I forget that I have it in my purse sometimes! The retina display is out of this world.

    I got this recently for my daughter. It is great for her to use the apps for vision therapy and she is able to write her homework using a bluetooth keyboard with ease. I have found Apple easier than Samsung for my tech skills.

    This is my 2nd iPad, but first iPad mini. I absolutely love it. It's small enough to fit in almost any bag, but large enough to still be useable. It's super fast and takes amazing pictures.

    Had old iPad 2...this was awesome upgrade. Screen size perfect. Fast app runs. Great features all around. Good cases are a tad pricey but worth it. Wifi on 45MBs home network runs this mini at around 20MBs. Totally use it tons even for website admin. Plenty of available apps but way too many games to filter out lol. Use this mini probably 4-5 hrs a day!! And for productive stuff at that! Apple just really hit my bullseye with this tablet. Feel sorry for people who fell for Kindle Fire and other small tablets. This is the king of tablets. PERIOD. don't buy a cellular model if u can mobile hotspot with your iPhone !! Also like it better than the iPad Air that I looked at

    I had an iPad through my work and had to give it up when I retired. I missed it terribly and could not wait to get another. I knew the only place I wanted to get it was Best Buy so I waited until the Christmas buying season to get it. My iPad and I are back together again. Ahhhh.

    I purchased this as a learning tool for one of my special needs clients. She likes the size because she carries it to and from school. It also interfaces with my other MAC devices so she is able to use the apps I already have. This helps a lot since she is on a small budget.

    Review the iPad mini? No sweat. The sound apple product everyone knows and loves in a more suitable size you can hold in your hand. I bought it to read novels and non fiction and love the size. I traded the older version here for more memory at the same price and have zero regrets.

    Perfect size, can be taken anywhere. With a keyboard attachment, I can continue to work just like if I was at home on my computer. Wireless abilities are superfast and I don't even have to pack the camera. This was a very good purchase. My girlfriend takes it often and reads books.

    This purchase was a surprise gift for my 6 year old and boy was she surprised. I was able to find it at a great price on the Best Buy outlet site and when adding the Apple Care warranty it becomes what is called a WIN-WIN situation. I instantly became MOM OF THE YEAR!!!
