    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    My Go-To Tablet Every Day

    The iPad mini has quickly become my favorite Apple device because it strikes the perfect balance between power and portability. The size is ideal—small enough to hold comfortably with one hand, yet large enough to read, watch videos, and get real work done without feeling cramped. Performance is excellent. Apps open instantly, multitasking is smooth, and everything from note-taking to streaming and light photo editing runs effortlessly. The display is sharp and vibrant, making it great for reading, browsing, and watching content. I especially love how easy it is to carry around the house or throw into a bag without adding weight. Battery life has also been impressive. I can use it throughout the day for emails, web browsing, and entertainment without constantly worrying about charging. Touch ID is fast and convenient, and the overall build quality feels premium, as expected from Apple. If you want a tablet that’s powerful but not oversized, the iPad mini is an excellent choice. It’s perfect for everyday use, travel, and anyone who prefers a compact device without sacrificing performance. Highly recommended.

    I love this Apple iPad! I confess I don't use a lot of the features so I can't speak to all the new "AI features and office capabilities" but my old iPad was so old it wouldn't update anymore so I had to get a new one and I chose this one. It has been fantastic. The resolution is great, the camera is wonderful and the memory is superb! I read a lot of ebooks on it so I have tons of them stored on here. I also use it for my social media and email. It has worked for everything I use it for. I would highly recommend it!

    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.

    I purchased this iPad as an upgrade for my old mini. I'm really glad I did. The display is sharp and clear, the Pro chip and 128GB's give me the increased speed and storage I needed. The swift and easy purchase process was an added bonus. My sales associate, Marcus, walked me through the trade-in steps for my old mini and answered all my questions. Kudos Marcus and BBY.

    This was a purchase for my wife so that she didn't have to sit in front of her MacBook all the time. She enjoys having it at her side when watching TV so that she can look up things like actors, movie information, etc. I also installed the Kindle and Nook apps, as well as the Libby and Hoopla library apps so that she can check things out from our local library as well. Overall it is a great tablet, lightweight, fast, has pretty decent battery life, and is becoming her favorite Apple device.
