    I’ve become an iPad kid, I’m all for it??

    I used to think the iPad was a cringe piece of hardware you give your kid because you love em enough to get them something expensive but not enough to talk to them— Nah, this is really a good piece of tech I was too lost not to see its utility. The IPad has become a revolutionary work station for my college life that I’ve missed out on my whole academic career. This is including the fact the Apple Pen Pro is a must, Pages helps me and my hyperactive mind focus on concepts without having to think about what highlighter or pen color to use. Studying has become 2nd nature, I’ve went from a 50% average in my Pharmacology exam lectures to an 80. I think switching to an IPad for notes has been a life saver and I’ve been thinking about getting back into digital art too. So much possibility with this new generation of hardware, it does instill a sense of childlike wonder I don’t think I’ve had in a long time and I’m thankful for all the wonderful Apple hardware engineers to help cultivate my own curiosity and discipline for studying.

    First time purchasing an iPad mini. Sad to let go of my iPod touch, but so far, I'm pleased with the new device. Screen is just the right size, not big like a regular iPad, but small enough to carry in my small purse

    Win-Win Situation

    Just upgraded my old iPad with the new iPad mini with A17 pro chip. First off, it is super easy to set up if you had a previous iPad. It just downloads everything over real quick. And speaking of quick, it is super fast with the A17 chips and 128 GB. I also got the Apple Pencil Pro which opens up a ton of new opportunities . And to top it off, I got $100 off on a Best Buy sale. A win-win situation.

    Great upgrade over prior gen. These little iPads can do everything. I use it as an ebook, for note taking, as a monitor for my camera. Perfect size and tons of power.

    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.

    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.

    It is a good iPad for children since one can perfectly control their children. It has a long battery life and works perfectly. I think it is a good item since it can also help with screen time for children. I think it is a very good purchase I have made.

    My iPad mini has become my greatest tool. Combined with my Apple Pencil I use it for just about everything- studying for school, watching videos, managing spreadsheets, or even just a nice big screen for social media.

    I'm always taking a lot of time before making a buy decision. This time, my wife bought me because I said that I wanted an iPad, but that I actually didn't need one; I kinda just wanted it. And I actually end up using it more at home than other devices. The mini size is perfect for me. I can use it like a phone, or like a tablet. I can watch movies, and I can play games with it. Also using for tracking to-dos. it's pretty neat. would love if it had 120hz, but it's okay. It also makes me use it a little bit less, and you would be surprised how we get used to stuff fast.

    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.
