    iPad Mini 3 is incredibly light and thin. This makes it it much more mobile and easier to use than the 10 inch iPad, which is much heavier and thicker. iPad Mini is easier to hold for a long time and only requires one hand to hold.

    This ipad was just the right size for me to see all controls of the remote screen of my Phantom 3 Pro drone. Resolution is great and battery life exceeds my expectations. Although I use the ipad exclusively for drone control, the ATT account enables me to see real time map data. I am very pleased with this purchase.

    This iPad mini has the required memory and internal GPS reiever to do just what i want it to. I use it for a navigation program for use in my aircraft. It performs that task very well and has the speed and capability to do it. I previously used a standard iPad but the mini is easier to use in my cockpit.

    I purchased this iPad because I wanted something bigger than my iPhone but smaller than my laptop to use while away. I also needed to have internet access as well. After a lot of research, I decided this was the device for me. I am very happy with my decision.

    Ipad Mini is awesome. The person at the store was helpful although he was from a different department and could not get anyone from the phone area to assist with getting the IPad connected to AT&T wireless. Took a lot longer than it should have.

    Gave the iPad Mini to my wife as a birthday gift since she often needs more than her iPhone to do her volunteer work. Now she doesn't know how she ever got along without it. Easily fits in her purse and is always ready to work when she needs it.

    The mini is the perfect size for our needs. Easy to use and very compact yet creates feeling of being much larger. The screen size is perfect to watch youtube, etc.

    I really liked the Ipad, it is very comfy and easy to use. It can also be converted to a small laptop by attaching a wireless keyboard to it. it has made my life easy.

    Love my mini. Not giving up my Air. I got this one so when I am in the airport I have something small to use. been a godsend for that. Loaded a ton of music on it so when I am asleep on the plane I am not burning my phone battery. Screen is a bit small, so when I get to the hotel I move back to my iPad Air

    I had an iPad Air, but found I didn't bring it everywhere because of its size. I prefer the mini, as it can go anywhere and be slipped in a jacket pocket, etc.
