    I traded my iPad 2 for a mini and I love it. Weighs less. Fits into my purse better. I take it everywhere.

    I needed an iPad for travel. I went into the Best Buy Store to decide between the iPad Mini and the iPad Air. The actual screen size is not much of a difference. The Air mainly has a bigger frame. I ordered online and got an amazing deal for black friday. As always Apple products are of great quality and this one is no different. It's great for traveling and I also got the cellular so I know I always have WiFi.

    Great for Notes/Books/Cloud

    I love carrying around a smaller version of the iPad. The processor is much faster than my previous iPad. It is light enough that it no longer falls on my face while I'm in bed reading at night. (iPad 1 was heavy). I debated buying 16 GB again, but I only use Evernote/Office suite/OneDrive/Skype/Netflix/Spotify. Everything I use is in the Cloud. Had this been a WiFi only model I would have gotten more space, but I had to spend the extra money on the Cellular, so I'm never without access to the Cloud and files are always accessible. OneDrive gave me 30 GB so more than enough Cloud Space for free, and my office uses O365 for the rest of the space. Clear screen, fast response, and portable. Fingerprint reader really does make it easier to unlock the device. No more invalid pin guesses.

    Very cheaply made but sold for a premium price. Very limited on what iOS is capable of compared to Android.

    I own an iPad Air 2, I haven't tried the iPad mini 3 yet, except set up. It's a birthday present for my 13 yr old, the true test will be in August when she receives it and starts using it. Being Autistic she has a Windows 10 desktop and knows how to operate my iPhone 6s and iPad Air 2, among many other computers and electronics.
