    I went into the Grand Parkway store Richmond TX ready to buy my wife the IPad Mini. No one there to help me. So on the way out , I asked the greeter/guard if there was anyone to help. She suggested that I go online and order what I wanted and come back to pick it up. So that is what I did. When I returned there was a long line of people picking up orders so that was quite unsatisfactory as well. Next time I’ll probably just go to the Apple Store.

    *THE* iPad for everyone

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This truly is "THE iPad." At least for me, it's the perfect size for doing things that are just more comfortable to do on a *slightly* larger screen than an iPhone. The split keyboard makes it super-easy to type on if needed; using a stylus (or an Apple Pencil Pro, which I don't have) for navigating, handwriting & taking notes is outstanding. Consuming media, reading, social networking, email & even texting is made super-easy on a device of this size. The screen is bright, the iPad mini is very portable, and is so lightweight -- often times I have no need to bring a larger device when on day trips or short travel days. Any screen that's larger becomes cumbersome, heavy if connected to a keyboard case, and defeats the purpose of having a large-enough screen to do more than is possible on just a phone. The iPad mini is a terrific device.

    Don't order this from BestBuy. They deliver without signature, and then won't do anything to help you when you don't receive the item.

    The colors are brighter and the battery life is great. It is the first mini I have owned and I like the size a lot.

    It does everything my full size iPad does. I’ve only had apple products and I think they are the best. Might be a little more expensive but that is how you get the best. I bought the mini iPad for my wife so she don’t use phone so much for research and texting.
