    So far we really like it. It’s for my 10 year old. It’s fast and does what we need it to do for school and occasional sketching or playing some games. Lightweight and easy to learn the OS

    My new iPad mini is the perfect size to take along wherever I go, and has the same functionality, power and storage space as my iPad Pro with a brilliantly crisp screen resolution. I bought it to replace an old e-Reader but use it for so much more every day. I also prefer the smaller size of the new iPad Mini to the size of an older iPad Mini I recently traded in. I also appreciate the Best Buy price, I saved $100 over the Apple store price, and found a great case for it at Best Buy too.

    A powerful little gem. I waited and waited and no disappointment here. Beautiful screen, battery seems to stay on for days. I bought the pen to go with it. This beauty goes with me everywhere. I’ll never be without one.

    I bought it because it's practical, you can hold it comfortably with one hand and you can take it wherever you go to do your exercises and be aware of what's happening around you, that's why I bought it.

    I like the size. Perfect for my needs like ebooks, videos or the occasional game. Works great with iOS 26 and the battery life is awesome, it can last multiple days with average use before requiring a charge.

    I didnt want to pay the “apple tax” so i wasted money on alternatives. I bought a kindle, an e-ink device for notetaking that, despite the rave reviews, had clunky UX, and an android tablet. All were lacking the ease of use of an ipad. I should have just bought an ipad. Yeah it’s overpriced, but its cheaper in the long run and better than the alternatives. The mini, especially with IOS26, is amazing. You wont regret the purchase.

    Perfect fit for my hands. not too big (like the bigger iPad) or too small like the iPhone). Good battery life and the speed is better than older models.

    This product is compact and light enough to fit in large purse. The display is sharp and bright. It is a typical Apple product in terms of ease of use. It was very easy to transfer data from my old iPad mini. It will be my "go to" electronic tool for when I travel.

    Very fast. It has been a nice addition to my Apple devices. Big surprise is I am not ready to use it as a replacement to my iPad Mini 4. The increase screen size nice for watching videos but the old Home button and reading ebooks is better on the old iPad. Am of the thought that technology here peeked. Trouble here is constant upgrades result in devises being outdated or unsupported after a period of time. The device would be fine if not forced into obsolescence. Don’t be so quick to get rid of your dictionary and Parker pen. I am enjoying the new mini just not thrilled.

    The iPad Mini 7 (2024) offers a faster A17 Pro chip, 128GB storage, and 10-hour battery life, with support for the new Apple Pencil Pro. Compact and powerful, though its design remains unchanged.

    Good product & pleased with the order, pick up process, communications, follow up and value. The most exceptional aspect was the expert guidance, skill, engagement and service at the Geek Squad Counter - Joey was exceptional in every way. My ipad was fully downloaded, operational and ready to use in an hour. Thanks to Elliott also on accessory advice. Associates make the experience great so thanks to them.
