    I wanted something smaller in size and more compact so I could take it places I go and the iPad mini does just that. It was an excellent choice for me since I already have a iPhone 16 Pro max with the bigger screen. In reality I just needed something to read emails, respond back to texts while at home or to do a quick internet search. This is a perfect size iPad for anyone looking for a compact device, this would be great on airplane trips you can watch movies and listen to podcasts on it.

    I traded in my Ipad air for the mini and it was the best decision!! Battery life is so much better than the air,the size feels much more comfortable and travel friendly and has a better processor.

    First off, the performance is on another level. Apps open instantly, multitasking is smooth, and even graphic heavy games and creative apps run like a dream. The A17 Pro is the same chip found in Apple’s high end devices, so getting that kind of power in such a small iPad is kind of wild. It's fast really fast.

    This iPad is excellent for a child or someone without much activity since due to its size it is my nightstand companion but it performs all its functions well. I recommend it.

    Small upgrade over the mini 6. The mini is, in my opinion, the best format for travel and general use - easy to carry, fits in anything. I use it mostly for streaming and light web browsing, but the main reason I have a mini is it's great for travel.

    I got the iPad 10th gen first, thinking I'd be okay with the size and A15 chip. The price of the mini is steep, and that may deter you from buying this but if you're looking for a smaller iPad, if you want a processor that can get things done a little faster with the A17 Pro chip, and if you want the pencil support, this is the device you need. Yes, the price is a little more expensive, and that is a negative for sure. But the device itself is worth the cost and once you use the mini in person you'll realize how great of a device this is.

    I wanted a tablet but did not want something too big. I like Apple producs but for this was willing to go with something else that was less expensive since it is just for browsing, etc. I have a full size iPad in the house but it’s too big. I saw the Mini and really liked the size, and surprisingly, there is really no other tablet with the same size and form factor as the Mini. I waited for it to go on sale and got it Open Box to maximize the savings and it looks and works like new as is the case with most Open Box items at Best Buy. Anyway, it’s Apple, it’s good if you like Apple, simple as that

    Still adjusting to smaller size but performance is excellent as with my prior larger iPad Pro. The mini retains much of the excellence of function in a more compact size.p
