The lightweight design and impressive battery life also received significant praise.

    I got this IPAD MINI 3 during the 4hr sale Best buy had some weeks ago. The IPAD is well built and comes with no bloat ware! It is fast and never have problems with it freezing up or not loading PDF pages fast enough while reading article or books I download. Lots of great apps as well. Also, enjoy the size as it is extremely portable and not bulky like laptops or other larger tablets. If you get a keyboard cover like Logitech Folio you can easily write papers on this tablet. Real happy with the purchase.

    This is my second Apple ipad. I would not even be buying a new one if my old one hadn't been dropped and the screen cracked. As it was $299 to repair the screen ): and $299 to buy a new ipad --- of course I bought a new ipad. My old one was an ipad mini 2 and worked great even after the screen cracked. I taped the cracks and screen down and it still worked fine GO APPLE!!! I had to buy a new one though because I have a 3 year old and was afraid of her cutting herself on the glass, otherwise would have kept on using broken one.

    I originally thought I had wanted a full-sized iPad because I feared anything smaller wouldn't be much different than just using my iPhone 6. I was wrong! I went with the mini because there was a sale going on and it was already much cheaper than a full sized iPad, and I am not disappointed. It's a great size for portability, but definitely still provides the larger screen experience I was looking for. I love bringing it with me to work and being able to watch videos/Netflix during my lunch break without the added heft of dragging my laptop along with me everyday.

    I love this iPad Mini 3. I started with the iPad Mini 2, then upgraded to the 2 with retina display, and now the iPad mini 3 and I have never been disappointed in any of them. While there are not many differences at all in the mini 2 and the mini 3, I have to say that I am in love with the gold color. It is also nice to have the added security of the fingerprint ID button on the 3. And the images on the screen are beautiful! I use mine for reading, surfing the web and playing games mostly and I love that I can do so much on a device that I can easily stash in my purse for transport. While Apple products are expensive, the quality can't be beat!

    IPAD Mini 3 - Nice Tablet

    Purchased this from my daughter. She had a Samsung Galaxy Tablet that she was having problems with so we upgraded to the Mini 3. Our kids are proficient with Apple products due to my iPhone. She quickly grasped the use of it. Not much to say with it other than it is a quality product and easy to get around. This unit is the Wifi only, 16GB model. The price was right when we purchased the Mini 3. If you like to use a ton of apps and record or take pictures, I would recommend going to the 32GB or larger. Oh course, there is a higher price for the larger storage, but it will be worth it because 16GB does not go very far. Highly recommend Mini 3.

    A product with all the Apple features. Many apps are available, user friendly, the right size (not too big) and a great screen (good for reflections). I am a downloader so my storage is quickly full. A great companion to go on the web on the run; bigger than most phones but size wise convenient to take with you (not a 15 or 17 inch screen).

    Got this iPad Mini on a flash sale for $225. So worth it. It was originally $400 and the iPad Mini 2 was usually $300 or $250 at times so it made sense to go with the more recent gen. Only difference between the 2 models is touch ID which is actually pretty useful on an iPad believe it or not. Same specs as the iPad Air. It glides through iOS9 and battery life is amazing.

    we bought this for my son so he could get certain apps that are specific to apple products, and to get some relief for my air 2. it is the perfect size for him to carry and has an amazingly good battery life. he uses it on our commutes, but now takes pictures of ongoing construction sites and compares them each time marking their progress. sort of made up his own game. we are very pleased with this purchase, let's hope his new galaxy S 3 holds up as well.

    Don't let the size of the iPad mini fool you. I am thrilled with the size of the screen, the ease of use, and the ability to sync this with my iMac. I was used to using my iPhone for email and surfing, and the iPad mini does everything I need it to do, with a much easier screen to view. The cost of this mini allowed me to splurge and purchase the Apple product instead of a cheaper tablet that would not sync with my other Apple products.

    Love the tablet, purchased it as a Christmas present. My daughter loves it. The Gold is gorgeous and what can you say that hasn't already been said about the iPad. The mini is perfect for ladies because it fits right into your purse. The speed is tremendous and there are so many more apps with the iPad than with any other tablet. It's great for reading, playing games or just surfing the web. Love it. All three member of my family now have an iPad.

    It goes without saying that if you e bought into the apple Eco system, then the iPad is the tablet you'll want. The mini is a great size and easily fits in one hand which is really convenient for late night browsing and watching movies. The Touch ID is so awesome that you'll start to resent your apple products that don't have it! For a small easily portable iPad that's not big in size, this is the one to get. Hands down.

    As an Apple convert, I never thought I'd have an Apple phone and tablet. What I've come to learn is their products just plain work. The iPad Mini 3 is like a larger version of my iPhone 5s. It does everything seamlessly, has a great screen, and the Touch ID scanner is a bonus. If you already have Apple products then you know what I'm talking about. If your an Android fan, I highly recommend giving the iPad Mini 3 a try.

    Coming from the original mini without retina display, this is an amazing step up. Granted the only difference is hardware and the software experience is still the same, the improved hardware actually makes the experience better due to the increased speed and better resolution. I still prefer Android tablets for the advanced usability, but for my wife, this was hard to pass up... a no-brainer purchase when $150 off.
