    Love, love, love the new iPad mini. This is an upgrade and a downsize from my third-generation iPad Air and let me just say it is fantastic. It's so fast, looks great, and the size is absolutely perfect. If you're on the fence between this and a larger iPad, I recommend seriously considering the smaller sized iPad mini. It might not be very big, but there's a lot to love.

    Great iPad. It replaced my iPad Pro 11 as my daily device. So light! Great screen too. Too expensive though unless you buy it at a discount.

    I have the iPad Pro but decided to add this one since it is lighter and good for traveling. It’s good for reading and watching movies while on the plane. Good to add the Smart Cover case when you buy it.

    The ipad mini has been great. It does everything it needs to and is even smaller/lighter than I thought it would be initially. For me it works really well as I have to take it to work with me along with a laptop it really removed some bulk in comparison to my former ipad. I appreciate the form factor and it does what I need it to do which is the key with this.

    This probably my 4th iPad mini as I love using them for reading books, emails, playing games, etc. This newest version is great! Great looking, clear screen images, longer lasting battery.

    It’s small enough to hold with one hand while reading, but powerful enough for high-end gaming and Apple’s new AI features.

    Perfect size. Don’t use as often due to the 60Hz refresh rate, but the size makes it so portable.

    I upgraded from the previous version because BetBuy gave me credit on trade-in. This meant a new battery and a faster processor. I use it for some games and reading, and it works great for those applications. Very portable. I know the reviews online questioned the value of upgrading, and it does feel a little faster to me. The trade-in was what made the difference.

    Apple products always impress. Took the iPad mini out of the box, no charging necessary, and easily transferred content from old iPad to new one. Wanted iPad mini for traveling, and the smaller size is just perfect. The display looks great, and so far, it does everything I wanted to use it for.

    Best Size

    The Mini is the perfect size for general tablet usage. Big enough to be nicer to watch media vs a phone. Small enough to be easy to take anywhere. And it's perfectly sized for carrying and doing inventory with the Pencil Pro at work. Software is smooth and snappy, battery is typically twice what I need, to the point that I could get 2 or 3 days out of it if I forget to charge it. Overall a really nice tablet, I'm very excited for the Mini 8 this year.
