    I bought this for my mom for Christmas to replace her old ipad mini. Its slightly smaller overall than her old one which is great. The inly issue we had is transferring her music amd pictures from her old one to this one but that’s due to not being able to upgrade to iOs 14 or newer on the old one. A bit disappointing that apple hasnt fixed that issue but overall its a great device.

    We have been Best Buy’s customers for years from buying house hold appliances to electronic devices, Best Buy’s always stands by their products and their employees are courteous and helpful, We’ve always checked around for good sales and always came back to Best Buy, they matched other stores price, we bought various iPads from them and this time I wanted a mini iPad for traveling.

    I bought this to mainly use as an e-reader/comic/manga reader. I lover the screen size and I think it is perfect for my needs. I had a 12.9in iPad Pro that I used to use but it got tiring holding that to read especially with as case on it.

    Fast and efficient. The size might be too small for extended use but it does everything you ask to. Adapting a keyboard and a mouse is easy and provides you with a mini tiny PC.

    Works good for reading and note taking. Using it mainly for a post graduate program and it does everything I need. I have an Ipad Pro that I use for many task, but this device is easy to use on the go and for late night reading.

    Best purchase ever. Didn’t know how much I use it until I took a chance and bought it, worth every penny. Use it daily and its perfect size. Runs great since it has the same chip as the iPhone 15 pro

    Packs a punch with such a small device! Love to carry this around and pull it out whenever I need to chart on residents around assisted living. Alternatively I use it at night for reading!

    This iPad mini 7 replaces my beloved mini 6. Like the mini 6, it is the perfect size for taking handwritten notes and for reading eBooks. But it is faster, more responsive, supports the Apple Pencil Pro (with its improved features) and Apple Intelligence. All in all a worthy upgrade and now my new beloved iPad.

    I have an iPad Pro also, but I find myself using my mini more because of its portability. The battery life is nice and I can read my Kindle ebooks in color.

    The best tablet out there! Paired with the Apple Pencil Pro, you can be creative and productive. On its own you can stream, play games or read a book with all the latest and greatest features. Just buy it. I doubt you’ll regret it!

    I love the iPad mini a17 pro! I has the perfect size to fit in my hand and is lightweight enough to take it anywhere. I use it at meetings for notes and presentations. CenterStage is great for video conferences and the images look very clear, without shadows. The camera and picture-editing tools are very useful to clean up less-than-perfect shots.

    Not a superstar tablet but fills its niche perfect

    The iPad Mini never gets much love from Apple with new tech. It’s understandable being more of a niche product. But if you want a smaller, easier to handle and tote around tablet, the mini is practically in a category of one. The downsides of this iPad are that it’s not loaded with Apple’s newest processors. And if you’re coming from an older iPad, beware your current Apple Pencil is likely not compatible. That said, it’s a great little device for reading, playing some games and general tablet use.

    So happy after using an old IPad since 2017. Everything is much faster and I don’t have to recharge it every night.
