    The Bestest of All iPads

    All the iPads have limitations; i.e. not full laptop capabilities but close enough. Thus, the mini with its fabulous display, along with the pencil pro offers good functionality, enough real estate to watch videos, and reading digital print items (ereader) makes for a competent computing device when away from your desk. Future iterations will be faster/lighter, more awesome

    Great for reading books, studying/note taking, and consuming media! If you wear medium/large sized gloves you'll have no problem holding it in one hand! It's lightweight, convenient, and portable. If your hands are sensitive to the cold I'd recommend a case as the exterior on the device itself is cool to the touch.

    It’s an Apple product, so build quality and user experience has been great. Recommend if you’re looking for something of a size between your phone and full size tablet.

    The iPad mini is the perfect size when I want something more portable than a full-size tablet. It’s fast, smooth, and handles everything I use it for—streaming, browsing, notes, and apps—without feeling slow. What I like most is how easy it is to grab and go while still feeling powerful. If you want a compact iPad that doesn’t feel like a compromise, this is a great pick.

    I got my iPad as an open box and it works great. It is also the perfect size as I wanted an Apple product but smaller so I could hold it with ease in my hand for e-reading. It operates fast and has plenty of storage. I do recommend if youre in the market for a smaller tablet.

    This iPad mini is buy far one of the best purchases I’ve made from Apple. It has just the right amount of screen size to warrant not using my phone in addition to most of the modern features you’d want from a tablet. My only gripe with this one is that in order for me to use an Apple Pencil, I needed to buy the most recent one as it doesn’t allow for older pens and now I’m stuck with 2 old pens that won’t work. I love the performance and the Touch ID feature! Pick one up and give it a try.

    I’ve always struggled to validate having an iPad. With that said using the mini felt like that once size up from a phone that I needed for my apps and being able to access 3D modeling apps with no hassle. The best part about this device is it size and how portable it feels. It’s the Digital bite book that I knew I needed

    I’m very pleased with the latest version of the iPad mini (A17 Pro). It’s been ideal as an on the go device for reading books and watching tv shows, movies and other media. I really like how light it feels in my hand. I would recommend it as a travel and on the go device.
