The iPad mini retina is still a powerful and versatile device. I use it daily for email, web browsing, games, and composition (in combination with an apple keyboard). It works great as a companion device to my desktop and smartphone. My only quibbles are that the A7 doesn't hold up quite as well in ios8 on the iPad screen, causing occasional stutters that aren't there on the new Air 2 or iPhone 6 plus and that the screen itself is just noticeably inferior to the competition and especially the Air 2 these days. It's a very functional device but the screen holds it back from being as much of a joy to use as the 6 or the Air 2z

The build and usability is awesome and is really good for someone with no technical know how. The OS runs so smooth and without glitches. The speaker could have been improved a bit.

Puts my kindle to shame in overall function. However, I am shocked at how poor the speaker is-even my iPhone is louder.

Good portable tablet. The screen does get washout when you use it outdoor or near sunlight. You will need an earphone if you want to hear sound play clearly. The speaker is lousy in the mini. Otherwise, it's a good device for indoor usage.

The cellular function is good to have for mobile usage. Lousy speaker.

I bought this iPad mini to replace my iPad Air 16GB. So I will stick to the differences I felt after this change. Positives + Very Handy compared to Air + One handed use very much possible + Able to type in notes when standing up for long time without fatigue + Fits in my lab coat pocket + Battery life is impressive(Air was not bad either) + 64GB (Air was 16GB and I was forced to remove my data and apps for even doing the upgrade to iOS 8) Negatives - Colors look better in iPad Air - Regular website(not mobile version) text are tiny to read and needs pinch to zoom always.
