    Considerable improvement over Mini 6

    I traded my iPad Mini 6 for the a17 and I think it is much better! The differences I see include an easier to read screen and a faster response. It also includes twice the storage I had, and I find myself using it for more things as a result. Very nice for playing games, surfing the web, and reading and responding to email and text messages. Glad I made the switch!

    I tried the pro table loved it but wasn’t what I was looking for. Then I tried air but didn’t need that either then I found the mini and it’s honestly the perfect size and fits in your hands way better especially with an otter box case. Does what I need it to and nothing fancy.

    My digital notebook(s)

    I had a specific purpose to buying this iPad. I wanted to cut down on the number of notebooks I had lying around my desk. I honestly didn't think I would enjoy using this as much as I do. I have consolidated 7 different notebooks into 1 and this iPad Mini with the Apple Pencil Pro. When I'm not working or taking notes, this has been fantastic to watch YouTube Videos and the like. I even downloaded Moonlight to play games from my PC on the iPad when I'm not at my desk. I normally don't buy things like AppleCare because I take very good care of my electronics, but I do have it on this because I don't know what I would do if I happened to break it. I would recommend an iPad Mini over and over again. If I had to be critical of something, I do notice some flex in the screen when I'm taking notes. I've only had it a month, so I don't know if this will cause issues long term, but it is something to note.

    Overall an amazing product. I dont like the standard iPad sizes as they may be a bit too huge for my liking so I decided to go with this version instead. Not too big but not too small. The perfect size. Ive been haing it everyday and have even told multiple people they should go for it! Super happy with it.

    Got it for 20% off. While it’s not much of an upgrade from the 6th gen, I never owned a 6th gen so this was the obvious choice given the sale. The portability is great. If size isn’t super important, get the $300 air for a better value.

    Perfect size , fits easily into my Atom 8L Sling. Awesome for reading,and watching videos. Paired it with a Zugu case instead of the Apple folio as it provides better protection for the device.

    Love it. I have the iPad Pro 11 2020. While it is a good device it’s just op big to walk around with and have on the subway imo. This fits that niche of being portable but big. I wish the screen was OLED or mini-led but I understand this is a small seller for Apple. Still love it!

    It’s an Apple device, no issues as of yet. It’s fun to have an iPad in a smaller size especially when its planned use is for productivity with the Apple Pencil which attaches to it nicely. Better than the device the service was great. The sales representative worked with us as we traded in an old device, and it was her first sale of that type, so yay her!!! But overall Best Buy was the way to go. We checked the Apple Store and Amazon and actually ended up getting a much better deal here.

    I upgraded my Mini 6 to the 7 because I needed more storage. The upgrade to the better chip is great as well. Even though I have a 13" iPad Pro, this is the iPad I use most because the smaller form factor is great!
