Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the best iPad I have ever bought. Its size is perfect for any task, big or small. Its storage capacity is something incredible. Its portability is incredible.

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

the ipad mini is perfect for everything. GAMING, movie even for social media, it is very handy and portable… slim enough

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.

The best mini iPad easy to put away and carry and very portable than other devices nowadays software was easy to understand when in use the battery life is great the color is very nice.

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.

the 512GB Wi-Fi iPad mini in Blue from Best Buy and I’m absolutely in love. The color is stunning in person—way richer and more vibrant than the photos suggest, almost a deep oceanic blue with a slight purple shift depending on the light. Looks premium without being flashy. Why I went all-in on the 512GB model: • I do a ton of 4K video recording/editing on the go (now with ProRes support on the mini!) • I keep my entire Kindle, Marvel Unlimited, and Apple Arcade library offline • I use it as my main travel computer (Logic Pro, Final Cut, Photoshop, and dozens of large sample libraries) • Future-proofing for Apple Intelligence features that will eat up more storage over time Performance is insane. The A17 Pro + 8GB RAM flies through everything. I have LumaFusion timelines with 4K ProRes, multiple apps in Stage Manager, and Apple Intelligence generating images in the background—no stuttering whatsoever. Battery still lasts me 9–10 hours even with heavy creative work. The 8.3” screen is perfect for one-handed use, and the new landscape stereo speakers are surprisingly loud and clear. Paired it with the Apple Pencil Pro and a Paperlike screen protector and it genuinely feels like a digital notebook that can also edit 4K video. Best Buy experience was flawless—ordered online, in-store pickup was ready in 15 minutes, and they price-matched a small Black Friday deal that was still active. Geek Squad guy even transferred my old mini’s data for free while I waited. If you’re on the fence about storage, trust me: 512GB is the sweet spot if you plan to keep this thing for 4–5 years. Zero regrets splurging on this config. This little blue beast is now glued to my hand. Highly, highly recommend!

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.

So small, but mighty! Battery last days and works for school and reading

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.

Fantastic size and powerful for artists. Procreate and other programs run seamlessly. Works well with Pen Pineapple Apple Pen.

This refurbished iPad was just like new. Easy to set up. Perfect!

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.

Wonderful device for the money. I had an older mini with slower processor and less memory. This one rocks.

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.

Was a great upgrade from my old I pad and works flawlessly. Best Buy set everything up . Nice service
