    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!

    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!

    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

    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.

    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. :-)

    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!

    I absolutely love my iPad mini. It’s a great size and everything that I need it for, works great! Great loading speeds and so far it has not given me any issues in lagging or not responding - however, the one thing I find hard (I believe this must be with all iPads) since I am used to typing on my phone, it’s hard to type on my iPad without a keyboard. If I use a keyboard, then it’s just like a mini laptop, but if I can’t turn it horizontal it makes it a bit more difficult. I did get it for simplicity, not to have to buy or use an additional keyboard. I won’t let that reduce the rating for the iPad itself though since that’s just a personal preference. I’m sure some people are just fine typing on the iPad. In addition, it charges fast and holds a great charge (for what I do with it at least - I am not a gamer). I watch live and recorded videos on it, and use basic functions and apps. It fits nicely in my purse, it’s just such a great size. I do recommend it to anyone looking into 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.

    It's a good replacement for the old i-pad mini. It works like we expected. No bad surprises, and the color and clarity on the picture is better than the previous one. I'm happy with it. And it's purple! What more could you ask for?
