Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Ipad Mini is a great option for people making an educated jump into the tablet industry. I got this after a lot of research into price trends and efficiency. I may have considered the surface as well

I wanted to buy an iPad mini to replace my old iPad 2. Initially, I purchased a maxed out iPad mini 3. After living with it for a week, and pairing it with a Bluetooth keyboard case, I realized it wasn't suitable as a full-fledged replacement for my iPad 2 (which I use as a barebones laptop when I travel) and returned it. But then I saw these iPad mini 2s on sale and decided to give this form factor another go. I certainly miss the Touch ID that the newer model had but everything else is identical. And, boy, does this thing feel good! Much easier to hold than the iPad 2. At first, I reacted negatively to the information on the screen (icons, text, etc.) displaying smaller than on my original iPad - iOS doesn't adjust for the different screen size so everything is just crammed into a smaller, higher resolution screen - but now I'm used to it and I think my initial reaction was due to the fact that I was using it like I used my old iPad, usually at an arm's length distance. This is small and light enough to hold almost like a phone, closer to your eyes, and, after a few days of use, this was the device that I was using the most, more than my old iPad, more than my phone, more than my desktop. And, despite running on Apple's 2013 chip technology, it is still extremely fast. I'll probably end up traveling with this more than my bigger iPad, despite it's limitations as a laptop replacement. Depending on the specs of the NEXT iPad mini, I may eventually upgrade to that, but for now, I'm perfectly happy having this model and not the newer iPad mini 3.

I upgraded from the original Mini and am very pleased. It's fast, rarely glitches during gaming and just works. The only difference between this and the newer model is the touch ID. It is much easier to use your fingerprint, but not for $100. This is small enough to hold in one hand, even for a female, but large enough that you get the full tablet experience. It's great for reading and even better for photo editing and app usage on the go (where you can hold it with one hand securely while using the app). The best part is that iDevices have great resale value. If you are careful not to break it, you can sell/trade it for a decent return.

I purchased the model with cellular and wifi, but took advantage of the sale price that did not require a data plan or 2 yr contract. Works perfect on wifi alone. And at least I have the option for a data plan in the future if needed. 64 GB was a must! Don't bother with 16 GB, you'll quickly run out of memory (as I have on my 16GB iphone), spend a little extra to ensure you can use your ipad well into the future. Love the mini 2 ...perfect size!

Powerful tablet with great camera, processor and screen. I use it as my main mobile device and have installed the Bria App that allows me to make phone calls as well as texting. Because of its size I can edit documents, surf the web and read much better than even Phablets. Because is a tablet the Cell plans are ethic free or relatively inexpensive. The sound and the wireless connectivity are great too. Highly Recommended.

I love my iPad mini. I originally had the larger version but prefer the mini so much more. It is easy and convinient. Easy to use the keyboard while holding it in a horizontal or vertical position. I would recommend this to anyone looking to buy a tablet. Love it! With all the cool apps out there you can do so much on iPads.

This iPad is a great product for the price. I bought it for college and it works great and has enough storage memory for all my school assignments and books and it's compact enough to take anywhere

I like the size of this iPad and since I do not need a finger print sensor the specs are nearly identical to the new iPad mini so the cost difference made getting the v2 a no-brainer.

Perfect size, easy to travel with...I can tuck it in my purse. I'm so glad I went with the cellular & the 64 gig. No worries about running out of storage.

Perfect balance between performance, size, weight and cost.

When the iPad Mini was first announced I thought that Apple was wasting its time. After all, I never thought the regular iPad was too big or heavy. However, after trying out an iPad Mini on display at my local Best Buy I changed my opinion...it is now my preferred iPad size. Unfortunately, the one I purchased was a gift for my wife. I guess I will be waiting for Christmas until I can finally upgrade...

I purchased the iPad mini for my wife -- it's large enough for her to be able to see things that she can't see on the small screen of her i-Phone, but it's small enough that she can slip it into her purse if she wants to take it with her.

Love the display, and size it perfect for my wife's small hands

Like it. The weight, size, performance are perfect.

I originally purchased an ipad 3rd generation however I didn't like having to carry a big enough purse to keep it with me. I was concerned if the iPad mini would be big enough for what I needed. I finally gave in and decided to trade in the 3rg gen full size for the mini. Can't believe I didn't originally get the mini. That little bit of size difference is perfect for carrying around with me and it's actually easier to type. I can still do everything without any problems.

It is slick toy. It is the right size and yet versatile. Comparing to the iPad mini 3, it is almost identical, but much much much much cheaper. If you want iPad mini 3, get this one instead and save a few hundred bucks to get you something else nice, in addition to an iPad.

I love the size of this iPad mini. The screen is great and it's very portable.

I have owned 6 tablets and this one is easily the best when you consider quality of the device .. Number of apps for it. The size is perfect in my opinion, the screen is big enough to do anything you want without the fatigue of holding it like some of the larger ones.

I love apple so my opinion is biased. But this device does everything apple does great. the size is awesome for my daughter and she takes it everywhere. no problems ever.

Our son loves his new iPad mini 2. We have to force him to put it away. The size seems perfect for his needs, which is primarily playing games.
