    exactly what I wanted for an e-reader ONLY. I don't use it for anything else, but the speed and option to connect it to my other devices makes it easy.

    Great Apple device! The normal iPad is cheaper but sometimes getting the right size matters. Another perfect Apple device. Let's hope they will provide software updates for years to come.

    My IPad Mini A17 runs at good speeds, and I love to use it for gaming, drawing, and notetaking. I prefer the Mini because it’s small and compact, easy to travel with, and is the approximate size of a notebook, so it is convenient for note taking.

    Powerful Portability

    The new Ipad Mini A17 is a nice update. It could have used an M2 chip but the A17 is quite capable of handling all tasks. It's a great size for traveling and just throwing into a backpack or bag. I use it mainly for reading, watching YT or Netflix and light productivity. Battery life is great and standby time is amazing! If you want portability, this is the ipad to get. If you want something with more power and a larger screen for drawing I would suggest upgrading to an Ipad Air or Pro model. Don't get me wrong, the ipad mini is capable of handling tasks its larger counterparts can, but the screen size may hinder your user performance with such apps.

    The iPad mini 7 in purple has a subtle shade of purple, which looks really nice. The heat management is decent, and the new processor ensures smooth performance.

    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.

    I wasn't sure just how often I'd use it... but I am surprised that I use it daily. It's really handy when you don't want the larger version at the moment and the phone is simply too small a screen. I use it for taking notes, as a palm Bible and for quick internet searches.

    One of the best Apple products. Really lightweight, decent size for everyday use, especially if you want to use it for note-taking in daily life, or school. Works as a nice book reader plus!
