    Great iPad

    Grabbed this because I wanted something small that could still get the job done—and so far, it’s been great. It fits right into my lifestyle. I picked it up with an Apple Pencil, and it’s totally replaced my notebook and sketchbook. If you’re after something portable with solid battery life, this is the one.

    Apple iPad Mini (2024) Review: Small but Mighty, w

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The 2024 iPad Mini retains its compact 8.3-inch design, now powered by the A17 Pro chip, delivering a 30% performance boost over its predecessor. It supports the Apple Pencil Pro, enhancing note-taking and drawing experiences. The base storage has been doubled to 128GB, providing ample space for apps and media. However, the device still features a 60Hz LCD display and lacks a landscape-centered camera, which may disappoint some users. While it excels in portability and is ideal for media consumption, the iPad Mini offers minimal incentives for those considering an upgrade from earlier models.

    Small IPAD but just as powerful.

    This is a great small IPad. Weighs less. Fits in smaller purses, packs. I use it as a reading device but as a small computer too. A lot less to handle while reading on the couch, in bed, on the porch on a lovely night. And you’re not staring at a tiny phone screen.

    Definitely the best mini

    Definitely the best mini. I was amazed. Very long battery life. High resolution. Fast. No glitches. Lightweight, of course. Finger recognition works really well. Extra bonus for me: the 4 speakers, 2 on each side, provide much improved sound. So if you are watching a video away from home, much better experience. I think this one is awesome. I liked it so well I got one for my sister too.

    This is a "real tablet". It's the perfect size for content. Easy to hold and handle. Great screen with super smooth scrolling. Powerful 17Pro chip and 8GB Ram with Apple Intelligence make it ready for the future. The price (I got it on special sale) is remarkable! There is no better tablet for value! Years of updates ready. No brainer if you want an affordable top of the line tablet.

    This iPad has the perfect balance between power and portability. Its A17 Pro chip delivers fast, smooth performance for everyday tasks with no issue. With its compact size and lightweight design, it’s incredibly easy to take anywhere without taking up much space, so you get big tablet capability in a pocket-friendly form.

    iPad Mini - great upgrade

    Upgraded from my old mini, but I got this on sale and love it so far. Handles my games and reading well which is mostly what I do and some multitasking for apps (quick budgets, emails, etc). The size is perfect for travel, and watching/reading/games on the go. I also use it for patterns and recipes so it’s good for what I need it for. The battery life was also an upgrade. It does miss some features that the regular iPad has, I don’t love the colors, and it feels super pricey, but because of the almost $200 discount I got it was worth it.

    The wife wanted this to replace her Kindle for reading books . She likes the fact that the screen is of better quality and the brightness has more options. As with all things Apple, this seamlessly integrates with all the other devices. Battery life is excellent and overall build quality is great . It may be slightly heavier than the Kindle but the overall experience more than makes up for it .

    Great tablet. Also perfect as an e-reader. All other tablets fall short. My phones are Androids so I’m not an Apple guy, but when it comes to tablets, this stands above. $100 less than if I purchased via Apple. Easy buying experience via Best Buy online and local store pick-up.

    I really loved my iPad mini 6. However, I got bored and traded it in for a larger iPad. I regretted it almost right away. So when the mini 7 came out I knew it was time to go back to the mini. I purchased this and have never looked back. The size is great, very easy to travel with and the battery lasts all day. Its not running with an M series chip, but it certainly keeps up. If you are looking for a smaller tablet, or an iPad in general, this will not disappoint.

    The ipad mini I purchased has been wonderful so far. It is small and easy to handle. It is plenty fast enough for me, very little delay if you have fast internet. Screen is clear and bright. Colors are brilliant. Have not had any issues with it so far. Linked to my iphone with no problem. Apps work well. The battery drains fast when playing online games which is normal for most devices. Overall I am very happy with it.

    I had a iPad mini 5th generation and decided it was time to upgrade. I am very pleased with this new one. It was very easy to transfer info to the new one. It is faster than my old one and I think the battery life is longer. I use it to watch movies and read books. I also love the size as you can carry it with you and it is not heavy. I love it.

    This is the iPad most people should buy. It's very fast and has a beautiful screen. Easy to hold and use, plays any game with ease and built very well. Battery life is very good for being a smaller device, will last multiple days unless you play a lot of games. Highly recommended.

    This is my second iPad mini. For me, the iPad mini is the best size. And a no brainer when the regular iPad has not been updated. It is small enough to easily carry around, especially when traveling, and big enough to watch movies with. Good speed and have had zero problems.

    The M-series chip in this iPad Pro is a total beast! It handles video editing and multitasking with zero lag, and the Tandem OLED display is the best screen I've ever seen on a mobile device. It has completely replaced my laptop for most daily tasks. A premium investment that is worth every penny

    Not a lot has changed with the new version of the mini but I do appreciate the doubling of the storage since I was maxed out on my 2021 version. It also seems to be a bit snappier than the previous model. This still continues to be my favorite traveling companion for using as a passenger in a car or when flying. Having a new battery is nice too!

    My wife loves it. This is her 2nd one, which was about 8 years old. Quit the improvement. She got purple that she's in love with. A Christmas present she'll have for a while. Apple has all the buttons and whistles. So if she's happy, then I'm happier. Best Buy had a sale going on, so that made my choise even easyier. Thanks Best Buy.

    Love this so much! The screen is very bright, crisp and clear, great colors. It’s very fast and the battery life is great. I love the purple. It is easily my favorite device now and enabled me to go back down to a smaller iPhone I just grab the mini if I need to see something bigger. I use it as my E reader a lot plus YouTube.
