    I bought this product when I purchased iPhone 7 Plus. The representative introduced this product to me and told me that I could get a great discount, if I bought the mini iPad at the same time. I went for it and gave it to my wife as a gift. She loves it, especially the feature of being able to getting the cellular signal. It does not need WiFi like earlier version of iPad. She can now use it any time at anywhere. The screen is much larger than iPhone 6 Plus she has. With the combination of iPhone and mini iPad, she does not need to bring a laptop on a trip.

    After my friend bought a mini to replace her bigger one- which I also had- I was skeptical. I asked her why she would want a SMALLER tablet? She gave me many reasons, but the one that stuck out was that it fit into her handbags. I've left my IPad at so many appointments bc I'm not used to carrying it. Anyway, I tried her's out and loved it. Now the bigger iPads look funny to me. The retina display is crystal clear and I spend a lot of time editing photos and/or reading from kindle or iBooks. Very, very pleased with purchase.

    I purchased this tablet because I got a killer deal on it as a bonus when I purchased my iPhone SE. I have never owned a tablet before, and I wasn't in the market for one, but it was such a good deal that I figured that I would go for it. I am glad that I did! This tablet is awesome! It is really easy to use, and takes great photos and videos. If you are familiar with the use of an iPhone, you can use this tablet - they operate just the same. What I really like about it is that I no longer have to take my laptop with me when I travel because I can do everything on this iPad that I used to do on my laptop. Love it!

    I bought this for my husband for his birthday. He loves the fact that it is smaller and lighter than his old ipad. He loves to set up music to play on his bluetooth device, can't wait to download a movie for a long flight, and uses the big calculator all of the time in addition to the camera and all of the other features. He is very excited about my purchase for him.

    I bought the iPad mini for my son and a full size iPad for myself. I didn't want a mini for myself because I thought they were too small. After setting up the iPad mini for my son I had completely gotten over my thought that they were too small. I returned the full size iPad and bought myslef an iPad mini with Retina Display. It works very well and I love the display. Another plus is that it is very easy to take with me and I do that all the time whereas before I would not want to lug my full size iPad. I bought an adapter to allow me to connect it to a projector and I use it to teach. The technology is very good.

    The new mini with retina is great. Same great iPad mini with an even better screen resolution and I got the AT&T version for almost the same price as the wifi version. It's faster than the previous mini so everything works better.

    On balance, I love it. I can almost replace my lap top with it. The price is steep compared to competitor's products. Also, there is no place for a memory card, I can't upload pictures directly from my camera's memory card. Neither can I download them to a card. Even my NOOK has a spot for a mini sad memory card. Other than that, I'm completely satisfied with my iPad mini. Easier to navigate and more intuitive to use than my sister's Samsung tablet. It also takes good pictures and the microphone records very well. I'd recommend it to others

    I love the anything Apple - I have an IMAC and an Iphone 5s and now this ... I love how compact the devise is and it is extremely fast on wi-fi or on the AT&T network. The only down side I see is that the battery seems to deplete faster than any other device I have had. I use it all day and by evening it is at 10%. I charge every night and always have howver this doesn't seem to hold a charge. My Iphone is used all day also and it is fine. I have turned off the data to see if it lasts longer but don't know yet if that will work.

    I love this iPad with cellular. It is super convenient for me and my lifestyle. Anytime I travel outside the country I just pop in my sim for that countries network and am connected. Super fast and easy. Especially if I do not want to pay international rates on having an international plan.

    Wow, I never thought I'd be able to get an iPad mini for this great price--I already had an iPad Air but needed something smaller for work and flying. This fit the bill and Best Buy is a great place to get them!

    Not so mini. I love my iPad. Easy to quickly get to and is easy to work with. Not as bulky as an iPad, the mini is able to fit perfectly in my hand to create no stress when using the product.

    Researched months before finally purchased the iPad Mini Retina LTE. I've always been an android but none of the tablets seems to have the same quality as the iPad. The larger screen compared to the nexus is a plus, as I use the iPad to remote into my home and work computers. Once its jailbroken I can do everything I need without Apple's choke hold. Lastly Apple having apps optimized for tablets was one of the key driver to purchase the iPad. I dont play much games so cant comment on the gaming aspect of the iPad.

    I bought the iPad mini as a way to show my photography on the go. The overall price was very reasonable since I bought the cellular version with a 2 year contract.

    This has all the functions of a standard iPad but it is smaller. It will fit in a purse or small bag.
