    Great out the box. Works great except some glitches when wanting to close previous app used when switching from horizontal to vertical. I dont need a lot of space but the 40GB of updates is a bit crazy for me, again I dont need a lot of space, but would like to not have that much space eaten up. Overall Good product.

    This replaced an OLD Mini Ipad. My old IPad would no longer do updates. Whilni only use it mostly to use with my music streaming services, I do need the IPad to be up to date. Hopefully won’t need to replace for 10 years or so, but this one is super fast to what I had.

    This iPad mini is fast, lightweight, and perfect for everyday use. The new chip makes everything super smooth, from streaming to multitasking. I ordered online and picked up at Best Buy without any hassle—great service all around.

    I’ve always struggled to validate having an iPad. With that said using the mini felt like that once size up from a phone that I needed for my apps and being able to access 3D modeling apps with no hassle. The best part about this device is it size and how portable it feels. It’s the Digital bite book that I knew I needed

    Great item. Easy to use and bigger screen than my iPhone so my 50+ year old eyes don't have to strain. Got it to download books and shows for vacation. Perfect!

    Perfect size to hold in one hand! My iPhone screen is too small and my eyes were getting strained. Larger iPads are too heavy and I don’t want to hold it with both hands. But the iPad mini is the perfect weight and size and now I can read the larger text without straining my eyes! I love it!!

    I bought this as a Christmas present for my husband, who is a pastor. He loves it because of its size. He has the iPad 13 for years, but it is too large for him to carry every time he preaches on Sundays.

    I love this thing. I don't have to wrack my brain trying to get it to work like I did my kindle. I was trying to save money by using cheaper models but they were cumbersome and complicated. As an iPhone user, using an iPad is a breeze.

    Love the size easy to hold while sitting on the couch or in the bed . Light weight enough to carry it in my purse or nurse bag. The use of the Apple Pencil is an added bonus so I can draw on my favorite apps, anywhere. I have the big tablet version love it but it’s a bit heavy and bulky. So the mini is a winner for me.

    The best of the iPad lineup. Super quick for media like Netflix and YouTube. And it just works bc it’s Apple. This replaced a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7. Super lite and thin, can hold with one hand and not get fatigued.
