I've never been drawn to apple products simply because I love Android so I didn't care to learn to use a new operating system. Of course apple has a huge following and I've never heard anyone complain about their products so I decided I'd give the iPad a shot. My fiancé bought this for my birthday in January and so far I really like it. It's easy to use, the screen resolution is great, the App Store is awesome and it works as it should, for the most part. With that said, in my unbiased opinion, it is no better than my Asus Transformer Prime. They both have minor issues. The iPad's cameras are mediocre at best especially in comparison to my Asus. My Asus blows this thing out of the water when it comes to camera quality, both front and back. The iPad also has an obnoxious habit of not rotating the screen occasionally. A problem I've never had with my Asus. Both my Asus and my iPad's browsers have a habit of crashing... However, my Asus only did it when I had downloaded compromised music files from my PC to the tablet. The iPad doesn't have any music on it yet and is only a few weeks old so in my opinion this is unacceptable. Also, the iPad is not customizable like Android products are. I can change the entire look and feel of my android devices but with apple products, they are not at all customizable with the exception of the wallpapers and location of apps. Another issue is the lack of a microSD or SD slot. It's not a huge deal now that I have a camera with wifi but it is annoying that I can't transfer images/video from my other camera to the iPad. Fortunately, I still have my reliable Asus. The screen on the iPad is quite good, but no better than my Asus.I do love the App Store though! To me, that makes the iPad worth buying. The apps are better for iOS and there are way more of them than on the play store. Another issue I have is Siri... It's horrible. The google voice search on my Asus is perfect and I've never had an issue with it recognizing what I'm saying. Siri however definitely needs to be improved. I don't even use it because it's just that bad. Another annoying issue is the 4 finger swipe up or double click of the home button to manage tasks. It's inconvenient and again, my Asus is easier and faster to use. All in all, it's a nice tablet and I would recommend it as a secondary device to an Android if you're someone who uses a tablet instead of a laptop or PC. It's definitely superior to both of those. One other thing I really like about the iPad mini is the fact that I can type with both thumbs like on my phone because of the size. That's actually the only reason I wanted the mini over the iPad Air. My Asus is 10.1" so it can be difficult to travel with whereas the iPad mini fits perfectly in my purse and in my glovebox when I sync it to the Bluetooth in my car. I was concerned that it would be too small to watch movies on netflix but it is actually perfect for just that. I hope this honest opinion helps.

Its great tablet, lightweight, handly, powerful. Apple at its best. Good integration of ipad with iphone.

I bought a full size iPad myself and immediately bought a mini for my kids. We have since bought two more minis. This is a great product for the price! Nothing beats Apple. We've had other tablets that are less expensive but this is a true case of getting what you pay for. It's fast, apps work great and there's a lot of options.

This little iPad mini provides all the Apple function you should normally need in a more easily carried size - one-half that of a full-size iPad. Battery life is better than most minis.

My granddaughter loves her iPad. She has had an iPad since she was two years old and has mastered the games! She just turned five!

This iPad is small but it fits my need perfectly. Great !!

Is an apple product and an efficient device to work!

I keep it in my car. It's great for GPS. My phone screen is small an I don't need to scwint while driving.

I like the size of the tablet it is perfect for my 4 year old son since my oldest has a bigger tablet I like the size of the iPad mini tablet. Thinking of buying one for myself.

Great for Children as a beginner iPad! I would recommend this to any parent

The iPad Mini 2 is a great value considering that the major only difference between the Mini 2 and Mini 3 is the fingerprint scanner.

Only thing I think is it should have been called the iPad mini air lol J/K

This is used in nurses office at school connected to wifi to monitor child's dexcom continuously in real time for type 1 diabetes

We got these for our kids, they keep them occupied, work perfectly.

Bought this for my wife as I use the bigger iPad Air 2's. Was worried about the size of it compared to the larger ones but the size was perfect for her. It is much faster than the Amazon Fire tablet I bought for her before and no more lock-ups on her games. The size and weight are perfect and the screen resolution is excellent. Memory size is always an issue with Apple as you cannot expand on it. I would recommend this for sure.

Small, light, great display, great battery life, Very easy to use!!

This iPad is basically a scaled down iPad Air, and since Best Buy matches competitors' prices you can certainly get a good deal on it. It can do just about everything you'd ever care to do on an iPad. You can surf the web, read books, play games, look at photos, watch movies and more. Few people "need" more power than this. The form factor (size) is great, but people who read a lot might prefer a larger screen size. The iPad Mini 3 is the same machine except with a Touch ID button -- definitely not worth the extra cost, and that's why it's been discontinued. The iPad Mini 4 is a nicer tablet because it's faster (almost as fast as an iPad Air 2) and has the nicest screen available on any iPad, but it's also considerably more expensive. If money isn't a factor, by all means, buy a Mini 4 -- it's a great tablet. This is a great little unit for the price and most people would be better served saving the difference and putting it towards their next iPad. Just make sure you get enough storage for your needs.

I previously had the mini first gen , sold that as I noticed the mini 2 was on sale for $50 off the retail price of 299. There is a world of difference between the first gen and the second gen, the retina screen, the 64 bit A7 processor makes a Huge difference,not to forget the battery life is a tad bit better and the speakers are better too. I feel the oleophobic coating on the 2nd gen is better too. Definitely worth the upgrade, specially for the price I got it for. The third gen ipad mini shares the exact same specs as the second gen except for the finger print sensor, which to me personally was not worth paying the extra hundred bucks. Bottom line , the mini 2 is arguably the best tablet on the market, and if you are smart about where your dollars are being allocated you wont get the third gen!
