    The iPad mini with retina display is really easy to set up and use. The screen quality is great, bright and very vivid. Easy to take pictures and videos with. You can even take great selfies with this iPad. Doesn't make your hand tired when holding it. Even a long time. Wish battery life was a little better. Overall I am very satisfied with my iPad mini.

    Used nearly daily, this little guy is a terrific addition. Of course, 4 years later, as soon as I post the review, it will stop, but I doubt it. Used for work, personal all around use, school, and play I would get one in a heartbeat. While a bit spendy at first, it has been well worth every penny.

    A great upgrade from my old 3rd gen iPad. This is perfect for what I use it for ocassional gaming, checking email, and occasionally use it for work. The retina display is great and makes looking at X-rays from home easy. It does everything I need and completes my Apple ecosystem. Now if only I could find a case I really like!

    I loved my iPad2 - when I could pry it away from my husband. This new iPad Mini is all mine. I got it primarily for ebook reading so the small size is perfect to carry around. Also discovered Pages. It is closer in look & feel to MS Publisher which I use exclusively for newsletters, etc, so am pleased to have on the Mini.

    This is a compact, well thought out tablet. I've had the iPad mini as well as the iPad 1 & 3. I use this frequently for checking email, reading e-books and checking my social network apps. I would highly recommend this (I actually already have) to anyone who is looking for a compact, efficient and stylish tablet.

    This iPad was purchased primarily for aviation use for flight planning, in-flight navigation, weather briefing, etc. The Mini was chosen for its smaller size which allows it to be mounted on the aircraft control yoke without blocking the view of the flight instruments and communication/navigation equipment.

    This iPad mini is perfect for me. I can use it for work or leisure activities. The smaller size make it easier to carry around during the day and is much easier to hold with one hand. I don't really use it for streaming video or playing games, so I don't really have issues with short battery life.

    Had the first iPad mini loved it except for the resolution. I waited for the retina and it was definitely worth the wait. Screen is amazing, I love everything about my mini. The only downfall is the battery life but it's definitely not a deal breaker. I would choose this over Samsung Tablet any day!

    I love the size of the iPad Mini. Very comfortable to use. I have a dell Venue 11 Pro and an iPad Air for business and they are just too cumbersome and big to use. The iPad Mini is the perfect size for reading and surfing. I put a decal on the back and it becomes less problematic for scratches.

    I want to say that I have been an apple user for many years. I love the fact that my iphone and ipad mini is a mirror image with a much larger screen. I have been very pleased with this product. Worth every penny even though you can buy a cheaper tablet. Once you go MAC, YOU WON'T go back!!!

    iPad Mini was awesome but the size didn't work for me. I use it to read my textbooks so the display size wasn't cutting it. I felt like I needed something bigger. I guess I'm so used to having regular sized iPads over the years that I just couldn't get used to the smaller screen. I went back and exchanged it for the iPad Air (which I loveeeee!) . If you can handle the compact size or if that's what you're looking for than this iPad is definitely for you!

    I love the iPad mini 2. I hate that I can't get another one because they are now only making the iPad mini 3 and no one has the iPad 2 anymore. I accidentally dropped mine, there was only a little break on the glass, then within two weeks the whole thing was cracked. :(

    I had an iPad2 16GB before this one. I was concerned a out the smaller screen but did not want to pay so much for the iPadAir to keep the size factor. It has been a very easy adjustment to make even tho I am resistent to change and rather set on my ways :-). Well done Apple!

    In my opinion, the Android OS still has a lot of catching up to do. There may be faster, cheaper Android tablets available, but none can touch the iPads, for ease of use. More expensive, but definitely worth the price. This is my 3rd iPad (the others are still in use).

    Glad I bought it. I have iPad 2 and MacBookAir. This size iPad is extremely useful. Fits in my purses well. Of course love how all Apple products synch wirelessly and painlessly. I do not see that this retina screen is any better than my iPad 2 without retina display.
