    iPad Mini for MAX USE

    The iPad mini is extremely handy for day to day use and on travel. I recently was on a trip with a 3 hour flight and a 1.5 hour lay-over and I opted out of using my laptop for using the iPad mini. To my dismay, the iPad mini allowed for me to do some light reading, internet browsing and I even submitted a homework assignment during my layover. Granted, the homework assignment was merely a discussion post. With all that being said, this powerful device has multiple use capabilities for all the things I mentioned and beyond. I'd recommend the iPad mini to anyone that doesn't want a bulky device, but still wants extreme functionality.

    So glad I bought the iPad mini! The size is perfect to carry around in my bag. Plus you can use the new pencil pro with it. I like it for its compact size. Very worth the price!

    I use it primarily for media consumption. But my kid uses for multitude of his uses. He scribbles, draws, uses as AAC device, watches media. The thin small form factor aids in hours of constant usage. 02/05 update, it suddenly stopped charging, so it bricked. Sending it to Apple for service "fingers crossed".

    Love the iPad mini. It’s much easier to handle than the old 11” iPad that it replaced. The only negative for me is the fingerprint sensor. I would prefer a Face ID. Would be a five star review if not for that.

    Bought brand new for my mother to replace her 1 yr old bulky and heavy iPad 10.9” and was not disappointed- so much lighter and with newer tech seems better. She is currently bedridden and not using it much so i get to. I had gen 1 mini but smashed it 7 yrs ago so this seems years ahead of original. USB-C will take time to adjust since I have plenty of lighting cables. Was not too happy with price originally but got it on sale and used $350 in best buy rewards. Still need case and screen protector but works as needed.

    Switch from IPad Pro to IPad mini, I invested in a MacBook Air with m4 chip, very pleased so far coming from Windows pc. The mini is the perfect device to pull out for notes, sign docs, and doing note taking. It accomplishes this without the bulk of an iPad Pro and any intensive work, I just reserve for my MacBook.
