    Got it for 20% off. While it’s not much of an upgrade from the 6th gen, I never owned a 6th gen so this was the obvious choice given the sale. The portability is great. If size isn’t super important, get the $300 air for a better value.

    Love it. I have the iPad Pro 11 2020. While it is a good device it’s just op big to walk around with and have on the subway imo. This fits that niche of being portable but big. I wish the screen was OLED or mini-led but I understand this is a small seller for Apple. Still love it!

    Perfect size , fits easily into my Atom 8L Sling. Awesome for reading,and watching videos. Paired it with a Zugu case instead of the Apple folio as it provides better protection for the device.

    I'm loving my new iPad mini. It was very easy to sync my data through my old iPad which saved a ton of time and many steps. The graphics are beautiful and I love how lightweight it is compared to my other tablets. Found the best price at Best Buy and it was an easy online purchase with quick pickup. Highly recommend.

    I upgraded my Mini 6 to the 7 because I needed more storage. The upgrade to the better chip is great as well. Even though I have a 13" iPad Pro, this is the iPad I use most because the smaller form factor is great!

    It’s an Apple device, no issues as of yet. It’s fun to have an iPad in a smaller size especially when its planned use is for productivity with the Apple Pencil which attaches to it nicely. Better than the device the service was great. The sales representative worked with us as we traded in an old device, and it was her first sale of that type, so yay her!!! But overall Best Buy was the way to go. We checked the Apple Store and Amazon and actually ended up getting a much better deal here.

    Good Value with a Trade-in

    With the generous trade-in for my mini 6, getting a faster processor and double the memory made this purchase a no-brainer! Excellent travel companion and data entry device when working at remote sites (I usually don’t do enough remote work to make it worth the cellular-enabled model - hotspot to phone is usually sufficient and saves money)

    This is a great device that I use for reading and annotating PDFs and reading story books (epub). It works very nicely with pencil pro. I like reading and writing while holding, so the size is perfect for me. I am also not a big screen is better kind of a person, so extremely happy with my purchase.
