I recently purchased the iPad Mini, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! It’s the perfect blend of portability and power. The size makes it super convenient to carry around—I can easily slip it into my bag or even hold it comfortably in one hand.
Performance-wise, it’s incredibly fast. Apps load quickly, multitasking is smooth, and the display is crisp and vibrant. I primarily use it for note-taking, reading, and light creative work, and it handles everything flawlessly. The Apple Pencil (2nd gen) support is a game-changer for jotting down notes or sketching.
Battery life is impressive, lasting me through the day with moderate use. If I had to point out one downside, it would be the lack of a higher refresh rate on the screen, but honestly, it’s not a dealbreaker for me.
Overall, the iPad Mini is a fantastic device for anyone looking for a compact yet powerful tablet. Highly recommend!

Size is perfect for travel, reading and just carrying around anywhere. Battery life is also good, lasting me all day with regular use. Ive done some photo editing and gaming with no issues. But for the price, I was hoping the display would be LED. Overall, still loving it!

The iPad Mini is a great compact version of my iPad Pro 11”. With its A17 pro chip and Apple intelligence, it provides features of larger screen iPads with M2 through M4 processors that allows for use of the Apple Pencil Pro. Convenient, easy to manage and useful for regular tasks done on bigger models and is an excellent e-reader! Most of all, received this gem for $100 dollars cheaper during Best Buy’s special promotion period. Well worth the purchase!

I really enjoy shopping at Best Buy, every time I go they’re very attentive and help me quickly. I bought this iPad mini and I loved it, it works perfectly. Even if it hadn’t, I still feel confident because they give me several days to return it. Also, being able to pay it in monthly installments with no interest is a big help. I use the iPad for my work and it has been very useful.

Love the iPad Mini for its size. I purchased a previous iPad for portability and note taking. However, I found it heavier and more cumbersome than I expected after putting it in a protective case. Switching to the Mini is providing the experience I initially wanted

I switched from an M4 13” iPad Pro. I loved my giant iPad, but it lived off my desk. It was too big. Too cumbersome. Not at all what an iPad should be. The iPad mini became exactly what I needed. I needed a tablet that could get work done. Research, serve as a reference monitor, a perfect note-taking device, and a media device.

It's lightweight and compact; the perfect form factor for reading. Even the largest phone screens are too small to use for books and magazines, and larger iPads can be too unwielding or cumbersome - but the iPad mini hits the sweet spot for this role.

This is the first item I bought online in best buy! Thank you for delivering it safe and sound! I have been eyeing ipad mini ever since, and I was never wrong! I am using it everyday, and it is better when it comes with apple pencil and a paper like screen protector if you love writing your notes! And it is the perfect size for reading ebooks!

Extremely light weight, excellent size, great screen, and love how the apple pencil can be used.
I love this little thing!
The only bad thing I wish was better is the battery life, but it’s not bad, iust not perfect

I really like how this tablet is built and performs. It feels sturdy and looks great! I bought this because it's specs will support an aviation industry specific app that's critical to my work.
I loaded up the app and the performance screams speed and display is brilliant in almost any light.
I just may get another one soon!

Well it’s surprisingly nice, I purchased this so I didn’t have to use my MacBook Air to watch movies, TV shows or YouTube videos when I got home from work to unwind. It’s just the right size for what I use it for, bigger than my 16 Pro Max but smaller than the IPad 11 inch Pro or Air. The only down side is like everyone else says, all it needs is an OLED display and it will be the perfect notebook and hopefully Apple will correct this with its next refresh. Other than that I’m very pleased with my newest gadget..!! Oh and the Pencil Pro is a wonderful addition to this almost perfect toy

I absolutely love how lightweight it is. Things are a little different like the keyboard and I have two languages on mine so that makes a little difficult.
And I’m having trouble transferring my Microsoft that I paid cash for to the NEW iPad so now I’m going to have to pay $6.99 a month to use it on the new iPad. I don’t understand why I didn’t transfer it transferred from my phone to the old iPad and none of the contacts transferred so I had to put them back in and that was a little time-consuming, but otherwise I really like i!

I upgraded from an iPad Mini 4, which couldn't run the latest iOS (and therefore wouldn't handle the NYTimes iPad app -- grrrr). In retrospect, I'm glad I did: The A17 chip is fast and works great for multimedia.

I purchased the iPad Mini A17 to be used as a HOME THEATER DEVICE. With 256gb devoted to my personal iTunes Library I am able to AIR PLAY music in the palm of my hand to a Home Theater Receiver keeping my iPhone available for other things such as Phone Calls or Texting. Having several Playlists available I am able to shuffle or select a song PLAY NEXT and keep the songs rolling.
