    This is my 3rd iPad purchased. The mini is much lighter weight than my older iPads 1 & 2, yet just as easy to type and message. It easily fits inside my purse when traveling. The camera is much easier for me to use do to the size. I've even watched my movies on it comfortably. Love it!

    The iPad Mini is an awesome tablet for someone who likes the smaller size screen, but still wants the full-sized tablet speed and power. I carry this iPad mini everywhere I go, and it's small and durable. Battery life is also excellent, and the addition of the finger print reader makes remembering passwords a thing of the past.

    Commuting with the mini

    I've held out on getting a new IPad - my Gen 2 works just fine. However, I started bus commuting and walking several blocks to work and found that the larger size was too cumbersome, awkward and I was concerned about breaking it. So I switched to the IPad mini 3, specifically to have more storage and use the fingerprint access. Although I prefer the larger screen, the mini has been very convenient, more private while viewing, fits into every commuter bag that I have, and is lightweight - exactly what I was looking for. The tech specs are a good enhancement as part of the newer OS functionality as well.

    I love my iPad mini 3, 64, cellular! I haven't had a chance to set it up with my cellular carrier so I'm not sure how great the cellular part is and that's why I gave a 4 instead of 5. But if it turns out great then I'll come back and give it a 5. I love it so far! It's sleek and fast and does all the things my iPad can do but is more compact so that I can slip it in my purse take it everywhere with me and that's fabulous! I decided to get the 3 instead of the 4 because there just wasn't that much difference in the two and therefore I saved money PLUS it was on sale so I'm really happy about my purchase.

    I have the first iPad that was made and still love it. But it was time to upgrade. I love the size of the iPad mini 3 it's easy to take with me. It's fun having the camera the first one didn't have one. It's faster and has many new options. Up grading was the best thing I did.

    This iPad mini is a great sie for travel. Current owner of older iPad which was much harder to travel with, less sharp picture and aging. The iPad mini 3 was a great choice, however did not have many differences from the previous generation. Went with this version based on the fingerprint login mainly

    I love the size of this mini iPad! it is small enough to carry in my purse everywhere, yet still big enough to not have to squint my eyes to see emails, websites, Hulu, movies, etc etc I also love that it has the fingerprint option!! I am a little annoyed at the slow speed it is on my WiFi and data connection, but I assume that is an issue possibly with my data/wifi providers and not the "receiver" of this iPad. Overall I think it is great!
