    Super light, and I love that the magnets mean that cases can come right off. I use it to read, so I appreciate being able to easily take a case off to hold just the iPad. I ordered online and picked up in store. Super easy process!

    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?

    The iPad Mini is in my opinion the best iPad offered. The screen is big enough for anything I need and small enough to fit in my hands with ease. This iPad specifically has all the latest software and chips in it so it’s super quick and operates seamlessly with my phone. Would definitely recommend this to anyone that’s on the fence about buying this or a regular iPad.

    Tiny Ipad, Big Performance

    The iPad mini is basically what you’d expect from Apple in a tiny package — it feels premium, light, and way more fun to use than you might think just hearing the name. It’s one of those devices where you pick it up and just enjoy holding it.

    Nice tablet. Replaced an older mini that was stolen at the airport. More power, lighter and faster than the last one. Still a bit of a learning curve on it. Slippery so get a case for it.

    I like the compactness of the size. Very comfortable to handle and purse wise. I also like the split screen, writing on notes. I feel all my valuables are in one place.

    Absolutely love my mini iPad. Perfect for travel. Easy to study with. I’ve been having it for months now and so far, it works perfectly. Camera is amazing, better than iPhone cameras. I use it to record as well and the quality is good.

    Excellent, as expected. I have yet to be disappointed by Apple's products. My old iPad4 was getting laggy after 7 years (!), so it was time for a new one. I was lucky; it was on sale! It's so fast and so sleek. Once again, a very good buy!

    I wore out my five year old iPad mini that I bought from Best Buy. I ordered a new one (Man! Prices have gone up!) and went to pick it up at the store. I had neglected to make an appointment with the Geek Squad to transfer info but, very fortunately, they had had a cancellation. Jake was a great help, even getting my 5 year old iPad’s screen to come back on!

    The iPad mini 7 is a versatile device that I think more people should consider. It is a book sized companion that provides a layer of separation from more demanding tech. I use it everyday for games, podcasts, reading and more.

    iPad mini pro

    Seriously, it’s like Apple packed a powerhouse into a tiny 8.3-inch tablet that weighs next to nothing (0.65 pounds). The A17 Pro chip and 8GB of RAM make everything smooth, whether I’m sketching with the Apple Pencil Pro (love that hover feature), gaming on titles like Genshin Impact at 60fps, or multitasking with a bunch of apps. The Liquid Retina display looks vibrant, great for watching shows or drawing on the go. It fits in my pocket, works with a Magic Keyboard Folio for typing, and has 5G and USB-C for staying connected. Battery lasts a solid 10+ hours, and it charges fast. Downsides? No OLED yet, and the 128GB base storage might fill up quick if you’re heavy on photos or videos; I would recommend the 250 GB. it’s a killer deal for the power. This thing’s perfect for work, creativity, or just chilling—easily the best compact tablet out there. 5 stars!
