    Got this for my boyfriend’s birthday and he loves it! He had an iPad Air and doesn’t even use it anymore. It’s very durable and portable, so worth it!

    Apple products work so seamlessly together that whether one is working from an iPhone or an iPad or an iPad Mini, everything is right there at your fingertips, and the Mini is the perfect balance between portability and screen size.

    I broke my ankle and leg I February and have been laid up since. I grabbed my older iPad and it was extremely slow and unfortunately outdated. Went to Best Buy and got the iPad mini the same day. I used my Best Buy credit card and have interest free for 18 months. I have been getting plenty of use, it’s great and I’m extremely happy with the purchase. It’s just a larger iPhone. Oh yeah and I started to listen to my music the other day and was listening to Eminem. The lyrics came up throughout the songs. This feature is new to me and I think it’s great.

    I love this tablet so much. It's small, easy to carry and it's powerful enough for the mobile games I like to play. Delivery was so quick that it ended up at my doorstep early in the morning when I had just ordered it the night before.

    My opinion: Apple provides reliable high performance computing equipment; this is an excellent little tablet, and a cool feature that I found with this iPad is that with a USB-C to HDMI cable you can plug the device into a TV and mirror the screen for a movie, presentation, or simply docking station.

    I enjoy the flexibility in being able to use the touch screen and the pen when it’s more convenient for my classes and external website launches. I usually did my hw on my phone but this was a world of change. Great screen size and the battery usage is amazing !
