I love the mini-it fits in one hand just like my old Kindle did, but does sooo much more. I chose the 2nd generation (Retina) over the new 3rd gen and saved $$. The open box product saved me even more, and it looks like it is brand new. Fast shipping.

I purchased this iPad Mini before leaving on a 2 week trip to AK and used it for checking email, yelping places to eat/attractions and taking photos. Both my husband and I used it and are so glad to add it as a light, smaller tablet for traveling.

I bought this ipad to take notes in class so I didn't have to carry my laptop everywhere and it is just the right size. Its fast and it works great. I bought a protection plan for it and I didn't even end up needing it because it has had no problems!

The iPad mini 2 is a great product that can be easily carried around for everyday use. The retina display is sharp and crisp, bringing out every detail in apps and webpages. It is great for students, surfing the web, gaming, emails and so much more.

Purchased this for my 4 year old son. We’ve had several tablets and the iPad mini by far is better for him. Easy downloading and easy to use and understand for my little one. Small enough to fit in my medium size purse.

32gb is better than the 16gb if your wanting to purchase and store movies on the iPad. We had the 16gb and were only able to fit a few HD movies on it. Now that we have the 32gb it definitely was a better choice for space.

Comics, TV shows, books. The mini offers maximum portability in a tablet with no compromise in designs mm, durability or power. The mini 2 had the same guts as the original iPad Air, and as such is still plenty powerful for most applications.

The mini 2 is the perfect size for me. Having an iPhone the operating system is compatible which makes it wonderful for grabbing information or photos! Easy to use and for anyone to use.

I'll start off with the obvious...it's an Apple product so the price is a little higher than other tablets. That is the only bad thing I can say about it. This new mini has a beautiful retina display, super fast, and is the most perfect size to travel with and hold in your hands. The new A7 chip that Apple has put in these is so fast. The instant your finger is on the go button, the next web page you are looking for is already on the screen. It is instant! If you are reading this and you are on the fence about purchasing this new mini, just do it, you won't regret it.

I bought the 32 gig, seems to be the sweet spot without breaking the bank, I find the screen size to be perfect, not cumbersome like its bigger brother, everything looks crisp and beautiful on the Retina display, performance is blazingly fast, I've owned the 9.7 inch IPads in the past and found myself less inclined to use it on a regular basis due to its size, with the mini you will want to use it more often, so to sum it up, same specs, retina display, lighter more portable design, more affordable = mini 2>air!

This is my second iPad, the first one I had was an iPad2, I really liked that device, unfortunately it was stolen. Finally I was able to replace it with the mini, and I love it, I actually prefer it to the iPad2, so I guess in a way the thief did me a favor, (HA). Seriously I like the size, it's just as versatile and has more GB space than my original iPad2 did. The only complaint I do have so far, has to do with the camera, I will say it is a vast improvement on the iPad2's camera. However, I learned quickly that you can't really zoom in on a subject and get a good quality photo, so I don't try. Other than that I could not be happier with the device

Best Small Tablet on Market

This is a great tablet for school and leisure. This tablet has it all. I was in the market for a tablet for school (looking at notes, book pdfs), and being as I have am pretty engrained in the android ecosystem, I naturally looked for an android tablet. Unfortunately, currently Apple is the top of the line when it comes to tablets. It has great battery life, better than hd screen, and lightweight. Also, the iPad mini 2 has the same specs as the iPad mini 3, but without the gold color option and finger scanner, and is discounted 100 dollars by apple.

This iPad mini is at a great price point for its number of pixels, camera quality, and size. I have no complaints and would recommend it to anyone as a great tool for casual Internet use, reading, music listening, and other fun activities.

I was able to purchase on sale and I love it. I have had several tablets and never much on Apple but my son let me see his and I loved the speed. I use it for movies on the plane and it has my bible for bible study and it works great.

A product with a wonderful benefit / cost ! The screen quality is amazing and the 32 GB memory has the minimum amount to good use. I think 16 GB is much little to any actual product, so I prefer at least 32GB. I recommend the product!

Great tablet with many apps, including free keynote, numbers and pages which enable users to create documents as well as review them. Very portable-- great for users who travel and wish to stay connected to the world. Screen is larger than that on the iPhone which makes it a joy to use, especially for those of us with vision issues. Enough storage for plenty of music, books and images. The new retina display is sharp, crisp and colorful.

Has more apps, easy OS, and great retina display. I went back and forth between iOS, Android, and Windows. I came back to the iPad. I wanted a smaller 7 or 8 inch tablet and the price was right for the iPad mini 2 with 32gb wifi.
