    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!

    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 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.

    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.

    Perfect for reading

    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.

    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 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!

    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.

    Bought this as a replacement for a mini 4. Overall I am pleased with the new ipad. Took a little while to get used to not having a home button, but now I like it better. I am a little bit disappointed in the battery life as I expected it to be better.

    It’s Great for photo editing on the go! The only thing I’d like to say is that when using a power heavy program like Lightroom the battery depletes very quickly.
