    I needed a new computer and Hamza A. helped me successfully pick out the right device for what I need. Compact, simple, and has all the tools I need to get my work done. The battery does die quickly but I believe that’s user based. Multiple applications would do that. Overall great buy and recommendation.

    I bought this as a business tool to help keep me organized. It does what I need it to do. Works nicely with the Apple Pencil. One thing is how small everything is on web but I zoom in with no problem. Not a big deal. No web lag or at least I’m not noticing. All in all it’s a perfect iPad and nice upgrade from the iPad mini 4.

    Great product, perfect for travel and lounging. Compact and light yet easily readable. I have large hands so I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to type that well but it actually is nice with a wireless keyboard.

    I bought this for my youngest daughter who asked for it for her birthday its great I wish it would have come in the bright pink color like the tenth generation 10.9 in iPad I bought two of those for a more affordable price but hey it’s still amazing the amount of control and ease of using the parental controls is amazing so much better than those Amazon tablets I bought them a few years back. Now my new challenge is monitoring how often and how long I allow them to be on them it’s kinda hard being a single parent but I will figure out how to balance the time and we’ll figure out a system I do recommend purchasing this iPad mini for the 5-7 ish but my 8 and 9 year old have the tenth generation iPad 10.9 inch screen and they are definitely worth the money

    I had a iPad mini 3 and used it every day. I’m loving my new iPad mini 6. It's the right size for me to carry it in my purse, it holds more data and is easy to use.

    I use this near daily for watching Survivor and Big Brother. It does the job perfectly and is super nice for occasional school use as-well. The size makes it super convenient for using in bed late at night and taking on trip.

    Had this for less than a year and it completely stopped working. My husband admits he might have handled it a little rough, but it had a case and everything on it, so disappointed he didn't get more life out of it. Giving it 4 stars still as I have one of the exact same model that I got at the same time (purchased elsewhere) and is still fully functioning, plus he was able to get a replacement one for $350 vs. having to pay full price (thanks Best Buy!)

    I always struggled to find a comfortably sized iPad over the years that wasn’t too big or too close to laptop size, but I also wanted something larger than my phone. The new iPad Mini lands perfectly in my desired size. The display is color accurate, processor is fast, and the Starlight finish beautiful!

    This is by far the most portable iPad ever made. It’s great for watching content, drawing, reading, etc. I sold my iPad Pro 11 inch and I don’t regret it!

    iPad Mini 64gb

    I bought this iPad back in November and it’s been great. At first, I had so much trouble going back and forth with BestBuy because my order was delayed. I talked to so many representatives and customer service and they ended up telling me that I had to pick it up or cancel my order. Apart from that, the iPad is great. It’s a bit too tiny for my hands so I would just recommend getting the new 10-inch iPad since it’s less money. I use it for school and it’s great! In January, however, my iPad started experiencing slowness. Sometimes I have to press various times on the screen for it to function but it’s temporary. I have also noted that around the edges of the screen, it lacks responsiveness, and like I said, I have to keep pressing.

    Only giving 4 stars haven’t had it that long So far so good my mini seems to be working fine. I had to get use to the new features like how to turn off and the new way of using the Touch ID but once I got the hang of it it’s fine. Nice size very compact. I would recommend purchasing it. New features and all
