    I loved this size iPad, this is my second one. I gave away the first one to a son of my friend on my vacation trip. Came back to USA I bought a new one, still mini iPad? Question: Why another mini iPad, simple I just love it. It is fast in speed, light in weight, its size is just perfect fit in my purse.

    The Mini

    I love the iPad, I've gone from version 1, to version 3 and now to version Mini Retina. I traded the version 1 for a 100 gift certificate and upgraded to this mini. By far the best iPad I had to date. At a minimum get the 64 gig version. My version 3 is only 32 and doesn't have enough space. I'm constantly having to pull of things. With the 64 is has enough extra room to keep several ripped movies and other things without running out of space. Get a case. Eventually its going to drop. Have a Case that goes all the way around is what you want. Don't just get that Apple magnet cover. The back will scratch up. Once, you get hooked into the Apple world, you will be hooked. I was a forever Windows guy......haven't been that way for about 8 years now. Both iPad and there computers work great together. Once you go Mac, you'll never go back.

    I use this to show video's to others in the ministry and am very pleased at the screen resolution and the ease of use. The battery lasts a long time and the size is perfect for my hands. I take it with me all the time. This is a very useful tool in my ministry. Excellent product and got a good deal on it.

    I do love apple products and love the size of the mini vs the air. I had to get the 64 gig vs 32 to store all my music and apps ad pics. It's a shame you have to spend twice the money vs competitors. Apple is lucky I really like their products but they need to be careful their competitors may make it difficult to stay loyal.

    The I-Pad mini is I in my the opinion the perfect size and with the faster speed and very clear picture the best tablet out there .I had a Samsung tablet before and had problems, this tablet has worked perfect from the start and is every thing I need from a computer.

    My purchase of the iPad mini with Retina display was purely amazing while all other retailers in town and out were out of stock. When I walked in with a semi down look on my face feeling like an idiot asking for the impossible I was asked what size for storage and what color I would like because they had pretty much all of them in stock. I went with the 64GB and its a good sizing for watching HD movies and having some games. I ended up buying and Xbox One and a PS4 from Best Buy as a result of my one time shopping experience and instead of expecting rejection I've learned that while not typically the most cost effective shopping experience that with these price locked items I was able to just walk in and go home with gear in hand. It has given me higher expectations for Best Buy. The is supposed to be a product review so sorry for the derail. The product is awesome and I have zero regrets.

    Great mini ipad. Got an open box special, device looked brand new and worked perfectly. Was able to download all my kindle books and Amazon music and still have space left over on 64gb HD. 64gb is just about the right size unless you have a great deal of music and need the extra space. Screen size is smaller than regular iPad, but still big enough for easy view ability.

    It is a gift for Mom as an email reader and youtube viewer. She enjoys the long battery life, quick response, and familiar iOS User interface. It is small enough to fit in her purse, so it is much more portable than the IPad Air.

    Replacing my first generation iPad, the iPad mini is the perfect size to carry anywhere. It's easy to set up and sync all of your old apps. The kindle app is excellent. The mini performs at top speed and the battery life is excellent.

    I have to say that with the plethora of tablets on the market, it is refreshing to see Apple stay true to it's mission....Easy to use consumer centered products. Yeah there are much cheaper products on the market, and if price is your consideration then buy on of them, but if you like products that just work without fail, Apple is for you!

    I bought this iPad to replace my ipad1. Way lighter, faster and easier to use. My old iPad constantly locked up on apps and browsing. This one runs all my apps with no lag and never locks up while surfing.

    I have owned three samsung tablets and this is my third Apple tablet. I had a iPad 3 which I gave to a school teacher. I have a iPad four which was given to me by work to process projects. I bought this as soon as it was available and put it in a Griffin Camo Survival case until Lifeproof comes out with their case. I also own the Logitech slim Bluetooth keyboard and a Ecorox speaker. All of this together makes for a portable entertainment and productivity system beyond compare. I have magazines, books, books on tape, tv shows, music, movies, diet planner, and productivity apps and all of the Apple apps. This is a fine product with fast speed and a beautiful screen. You can't go wrong.

    I ordered this as a gift to myself. A very treat yo self gesture. I fell in love with it right away. I bought it for school and I'm an absolute fan of the Word and PowerPoint app. It's small, fits just about everywhere and not a hassle at all. It beats carrying around a laptop all the time.

    Graduating from a first generation iPad to a new iPad mini is quite an improvement in all respects. Size is outstanding. Faster processer. Obvious screen improvement. Kudos to Apple!

    This is a great tablet!!! I was looking for something light with a long-lasting battery and the iPad Air fit the bill perfectly. I travel a lot for work, but this is my travel toy. I don't use it much for office stuff. The screen is beautiful and 64gb is enough for all my stuff. The only negatives I can think of are that iOS 7 drains the battery more quickly than its predecessors (but I can still get 7-9 hours between charges...usually closer to 7). Also, the home button doesn't always react to when I push it. Seems like I have to hit a certain part of the home button (upper right) to get the contact. May be a faulty unit.
