    I enjoyed the size and weight immensely compared to my m2 it’s so easy to just throw in my jacket pocket and take with me or use one handed while walking, it actually feels like a small journal I get to carry with me.

    I like the size better than the larger Ipads. It does everything I need and was easy to set up and restore all my programs and data using the cloud backup from my old device.

    The A17 retains it's familiar feel, but with decidedly faster application operation. The Translation application is topnotch and permits side-by-side or face-to-face communication. For the price, the camera and screen resolution could be better, but it's a great all-around choice.

    Outstanding, awesome for taking notes in college, need the legit (latest) Apple Pencil and a matte screen cover to complete the package….. a cover that holds the pencil is best

    For me this is the perfect size for portability. My iPad Pro is great, but there were times I wanted something smaller for both work and home. Performance is exactly what I expected.

    It’s the perfect size tablet to go traveling with wherever you go. Iit’s just as powerful as my phone on Wi-Fi. It’s amazing what you can do with this. I have the large pro tablet also, last year‘s mode,l and it functions just the same, very impressive. I’m pleased with my purchase.

    I didn't want a big iPad, but I wanted a bigger screen than my phone and something that I could easily pull out of the bag's front pocket, and the Mini does that. The mini can do everything my phone can (this model has cellular) and everything the bigger iPads can do. Its size is what makes it a winner for me. My airline's apps and Maps also helped me navigate the airport. While running through the airport or sitting in the lounge waiting for my flight, I listened to an audiobook and kept up with messages with family. I watched the new Alien movie on the plane and did some light reading. When I am home, it's more of an ebook reader or a recipe book. Its small size is perfect for reading and tends to be something I toss around like a paperback book. It's not odd to lose it in the couch cushions.

    I have an iPad air and MacBooks but wanted something to use on long flights that would be more compact but still have a nice display. This is it. I watched some downloaded content as well as videos available on the aircraft’s WiFi. Listened to audio through Bluetooth headphones. Perfect. My iPad air has cellular but i opted for this WiFi version because i can use my phone as a hotspot. Best Buy’s delivery was fast and convenient. Im happy!

    I love this and use it every day. It has retired my kindle and my iPad Air. It’s my alarm, radio, stereo, and easy chair television and movie player. The battery life sucks. You get, maybe, four hours of heavy use. But even that is an unfair criticism for a devise that sees constant use. I even use mine as an iPhone. If I had to do it over, I would buy the cellular connected version.

    This is my 2nd iPad. Many people will say why 2 and the honest answer is use. I have and love the M4 iPad Pro (13 inch). it works great. But I have found that this iPad mini is a fantastic companion to it. It's just a nice size to make it very useful. Sound quality is fantastic. I really like it and highly recommend it.

    The best iPad I have ever used

    I’ve changed form factors on iPads a few times now. This is my second iPad mini (I had the 2nd generation). I like the size but I never liked the storage. This 256 gb iPad is just what I needed. The physical and storage sizes fit with my life really well. My iPad fits in the smallest of my EDC slings and is really the most portable of all the iPads. The lighter weight is a plus, too. The ability that Apple builds into its devices to automatically start the hotspot on my phone is great, but for me it wasn’t enough and I did exchange this for the WiFi+Cellular unlocked version. I like not having to take my phone with me but still be as connected as I want to be, and what is the point of such a portable device without having to find free WiFi everywhere you go?
