Purchased my iPad Mini from Best Buy and couldn’t be happier. Best Buy made the entire process smooth—from easy online ordering to fast pickup. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure I got the best deal. The iPad Mini itself is incredibly powerful, lightweight, and perfect for everyday use. Thanks to Best Buy’s excellent service and competitive pricing, I’ll definitely be shopping here again. Highly recommend both the product and Best Buy!

I recently purchased an excellent condition open-box iPad mini from Best Buy, and I'm very pleased with the experience. The device arrived in great condition, with no real signs of prior use. It functions perfectly, and the setup was seamless. The battery life is strong, and the display quality is sharp and vibrant. Overall, it feels like new, and I’m happy with the value I received for the price. A solid 5-star purchase.

The iPad mini is super portable and surprisingly powerful, making it great for on-the-go tasks like reading or sketching. However, the smaller screen might not be ideal for heavy multitasking or detailed work, and the price can be a bit steep compared to other tablets. Overall, it's a fantastic choice if you value the portability.

I wanted a smaller form factor that had similar capabilities as my 2024 iPad Air. This is it. Beautiful display. This is the WiFi version and connects easily and steadily to hotspots. Easy to use with onboard keyboard and Bluetooth. Software update is seamless. Nice to download movies before traveling and watch on flights. I love it!

Exactly what I wanted and needed for work, and school. Absolutely loved the deal that was offered and the product arrived quickly! It works fantastic. Very quick, and easy to use, and the battery life is actually very good! I spent an entire day coloring in a coloring book, and taking notes on it off and on, and I had maybe 76% battery left, which is actually incredible for me lol

Excellent iPad. The mini size is ideal for me, practical, and convenient, as I can take it to the office and work meetings without having to struggle with where to store it. Technically, it's excellent!

I upgraded from my Mini 6 to Mini A17. Got excellent trade in value. It has been less than a month since I got the A17 and has been great so far. I had used my Mini 6 for about 2 years, did all my college work on it and that was awesome. Mini A17 is the almost same product, but better. :-)

Great little unit. Bright Display and featherweight :)
I'm using it for reading before bed. I purchased a little clear case for it and it is one of may favorite purchases of 2025.

Equipped with the latest A17 chip it’s definitely fast but the mini prices are going up fast so I don’t buy them at regular price only when they are on sale. I mostly buy the mini for my kids so they can watch and play over the weekend if we don’t have anything planned. It’s pretty durable but we put them in kids proof case anyway. The battery is super good then they go down the hill in three years or so, maybe because of all the updates and bloat ware so they force you to buy another one. They don’t make iPad mini the same quality in my experience, the ones we have now a day definitely dies faster but when you recycle with apple you don’t get any credits or anything! iPad mini though seems to last longer for us then the other models for some reason, hence why we buy the mini. Battery last all day when it’s new so you can play and watch all day but before the year is done it’s not gonna last all day, but remember now my kids only get them on the weeks ends.

I love the iPad mini! I traded in my old iPad 7 and I have no regrets. Yes it’s small but that’s what makes it so portable and accessible. I actually got it to be a better kindle. All while still doing my iPad apps. It’s the best of both worlds. It literally comes everywhere with me. I put this purchase off for months but finally ripped the bandaid off. If you’ve been thinking about it, GET IT!!! It was on sale also for $399, best time to buy it!

Lightning fast, brilliant screen. Speakers are adequately loud for conference calls and FaceTime. Got a keyboard case for versatile productivity. Small form factor travels well. The blue is subtle, almost silver. It has a useful spot in the lineup between my iPhone and MacBook Pro 16.
