    I love this tablet! It does everything i need it to. I contemplated getting the upgraded version but this one does it all just fine. The battery last a long time as well.

    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 do everything from light e-book reading to game playing on this and am not in the least unhappy with it. High quality, good performance, decent battery life, great screen. What's not to like?

    Convenient Size for General Use

    I have the original iPad mini from 2014-2015, and I finally decided to upgrade because too many apps wouldn't update anymore. The iPad mini has served me well as an e-reader and easy to transport device when I need something bigger than my phone. It's a nice size for watching videos on the go and can even serve as a working tablet in a pinch, though I prefer a 13-inch screen (MacBook Air) for everyday work.

    One of the most versatile iPads ever created. Small enough to take anywhere but powerful enough to handle almost anything. The iPad mini is great at multitasking and has the battery life to watch full movies anywhere. I love using it to jot notes with my Apple Pencil or doodle in procreate. Reading books with Apple Books or the Nook or kindle apps is really nice and intuitive having the ability to use all three versus a proprietary tablet using only one.

    I have the iPad Pro but decided to add this one since it is lighter and good for traveling. It’s good for reading and watching movies while on the plane. Good to add the Smart Cover case when you buy it.

    I am currently using this ipad for college and it has everything that I could ask for, small size so it doesn’t feel massive on the desk and easily carry around the entire campus or even at home.

    Big yet small

    Transitioning away from (Android) smartphones, I bought this to supplement my new dumb phone. It’s small and light enough to fit in my bag easily and carry everywhere I go. The square edges help with grip. I don’t feel like the device is going to slip out of my hands, unlike some glass smartphones I’ve had in the past, and I’m comfortable going without a case for now. USB-C port is great. Honestly wouldn’t have considered this device if it still used Lightning. In terms of software, there are a few features I miss coming from Android to iPadOS (e.g., temporarily dismissing an alarm before it goes off), but Shortcuts and Automations make up for most of them. Happy with my purchase. Have yet to try any accessories, but I’m seriously considering getting at least an Apple Pencil down the line.

    Perfect to do what needs to be done. Having the capacity to fit just about anywhere, I don’t even touch my phone while at home. I’ve only owned this lil guy for a few weeks and love it. Larger than a phone, I love watching news, reading articles, and watching movies all throughout my home. The image is impeccable and the sound is great. You just gotta love Apple.

    The iPad mini (A17 Pro) is my favorite tablet

    I had the M4 11-inch iPad Pro and while I miss the display and 120hz refresh rate, the size of the iPad Mini makes this the device that I find myself using when I'm on the go. The a17 Pro chip and 8gb of ram make the mini an incredibly capable device. The only thing that would replace this for me is an iPad Mini PRO with the specs of the M4 Pro - just bite-sized. As it is, the Mini is the best tablet on the market.

    The ipad Mini 7 is super cool—small enough to carry everywhere but still crazy fast. The screen is sharp, games and videos look awesome, and it never feels slow.

    Best all around Ipad for media consumption

    Ive been a pro user for years, but really mainly use it for media consumption. The mini is hands down the best Ipad option for media consumption as its so much more portable and simple. the one down side is the screen which to most wouldn't matter but i notice the difference between it and the pro. If they released this with the same quality screen as the pro I would immediately pre order.

    Upgraded from iPad 9th gen to mini 7. Love the smaller and lighter iPad. Much better for reading for longer than a few minutes. Glad I got the mini 7.
