The iPad mini is probably the best small tablet computer on the market today - it’s certainly the most popular. It’s the top selling tablet computer on Amazon, and still an incredible device. This is a review of the iPad Mini 3 released October 2014, but is it worth the money?
About this review
-----------------------
OK. First a disclosure. I love the iPad range, and this review aims to explain why. There’s lots to say, so I’ve broken it up into sections to make it manageable, (just skip the bits you don’t need). Hopefully it will answer your questions, and by the end you’ll have decided if it’s worth the money, and perhaps which model you should buy.
What’s new about the iPad Mini 3?
----------------------------------------------
Sad to say, not a lot. Same beautiful design, incredibly fast A7 processor and 1GB of memory as the previous model - the “iPad Mini 2” (confusingly also known as “iPad Mini with Retina Display”).
It still has the amazing 326 pixels per inch (ppi) retina (2048

I had my first experience with Apple products only 3 years ago when I was handed down a old iPhone 3G. I couldn't believe what I'd been missing! Since them I've owned an iPhone 4s, Nano, iPad 2 (which I wouldn't be caught without) and most recently, after replacing the screen on my 4s twice already( it's broken again)- a new iPhone 3G to tide me over until my upgrade.Id rather have an old Apple device than consider the competitors.
My daughter recently stepped on and cracked my iPad 2 so I decided to go with the mini as replacement. But only after considering a Microsoft Surface. I'm a student.
I couldn't have picked a better Christmas present for myself.
It's is larger than I expected and honestly, I prefer the smaller- than- iPad size. I don't long for a bigger screen like I had expected to.
The image quality is also much better than I expected given that it doesn't have the retina. It SEEMS crisper than my old iPad. Is it my imagination?
In Apples defense, I have yet to behold the retina display everyone raves about. But you can't missed what you've never had is my moto. The only reason I even considered the Retina is for the extra ram...
This iPad isn't as snappy as as my iPad 2, but I expected that because I read the reviews...don't hate me...it's true!
It's much like the difference in the 3G and 4S. Even my downloaded games lag.It is NOT just a wifi issue.Its smaller thus less powerful. It's not the iPad fault. You appreciate it for what it is. And I do.
I was pleasantly surprised to have Siri back as I'd forgotten that the newer iPads support her. Nice!
I can't go over the technical specs because I'm not THAT savvy. But as an iPad user, someone who considered my iPad 2 a necessity, I feel I have insight. It's a wonderful device to own and I came back to it in the end after considering others.
I love my new iPad mini. Besides being more portable and more comfortable, I am glad to ditch the extra breakable surface area! It is nearly perfect, the king of 7" tablets.
PLEASE PEOPLE, PROTECT YOUR DEVICES! Sleek and light very seldom equals sturdy! I bought the protection plan and a good case. You should too.

Normally I do not review products that I do not buy at Amazon, but I am making an exception for the iPad Mini.
Let me start by stating that all my gadgetry is Apple. We own an iMac, iPod nano, two iPhones, and an iPad 3. Suffice to say: we like Apple products.
Honestly, the reason I bought the iPad mini 16G, WiFi was: one, it can fit in one hand; two, it is cheaper than a new iPad; and three, because I wanted it.
So: I've stated that I'm a loyal Apple customer and probably will be the rest of my life. It might be that I'm biased when it comes to Apple products as are a large majority of Apple customers.
I was apprehensive at first about the display. When I found out the Mini wasn't using a Retina display, I nearly didn't buy one. I love the beautiful resolution of my iPad 3.
Apple used the same 1024-by-768 as the iPad 2, BUT the screen is 7.9 inches. In my opinion the display resolution is great. Not iPad 3 great, but not as bad as I thought it would be. I have to agree with Apple and say that the 7.9 inch screen is perfect for a smaller tablet. +1 for Mini
The Mini is 53% lighter than the iPad and 23% thinner--not a major selling point for me, but not a distraction either. +1 for Mini
The iSight 5 megapixel camera takes great pictures and shoots decent movies for what it is. I've tried out the FaceTime and it works great--picture resolution is adequate. +1 for Mini
Speed: The dual-core A5 provides this device with plenty of computing power. I was impressed as I thought the Mini's speed would suffer as Apple was attempting to cheapen the product a bit. It didn't. Internet surfing is lightning fast! +2 for Mini
I'm satisfied with the battery life. Apple says that the Mini has ten hours of battery life and they're pretty close. +1 for Mini
I love the aluminum unibody cover. The thing is sweet looking: sleek, like I'm in a sci-fi movie using some futuristic device. I heard one dude say it's sexy. I'm not sure that I'd go as far as calling a hunk of aluminum, glass, and plastic sexy, but it is easy on the eyes. Apple nailed it on the aesthetics of the Mini. +2 for Mini
At first, I was peeved about the Lightning connector (I still am a bit). All my other devices have the old 30-pin connector. I have only one cable to charge the Mini and four old cables that will eventually be obsolete. The smaller port is great though--it looks much better, more compact and I understand why Apple did what they did...but it still sucks when you have multiple other Apple devices with the old port. Everything has to change sometime, I guess.
-1 for Mini (not Apple's fault, my preference)
Hey: when the apps and widgets get boring Siri's there to ask millions of important questions to. Who doesn't love them some Siri?
I used an iBlason case to protect the Mini and so far like it: http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-ArmorBox-Convertible-Friendly-Protection/dp/B009PPKFNI/ref=cm_cr-mr-title
So with all that said and much more not mentioned: I'm a fan of the Mini, but I think the device was overpriced a bit. I still paid the extra $130 over the Kindle Fire HD, because I prefer Apple, but after playing around with a friend's Fire HD 7", I was impressed with the Fire and the price.
In the end it was a matter of preference for me choosing Apple over Kindle. I'm very satisfied with my purchase of the Mini and my kids love it too. I would recommend the Mini to anyone and everyone. Great product!

I am very impressed with this iPad! I wasn't to sure if this was the tablet for me at first. There are many other options, such as the Nexus devices. When I got this iPad, I was very impressed! It is so much more light than I first anticipated, and it is amazingly thin! The camera was far more than expected, but it doesn't do to well in low-light and non-natural light situations. It is very snappy on the home screen, and in apps. It is great for pretty much any games. Even games like Asphalt run smooth as butter. The bezel is very nice as well. The display is shy of 1080p I believe, but it still looks very good. With tablets, it's hard to notice a difference in the screen quality. I didn't get the Retina display, but I'm sure it looks even better. But the battery... Oh, the battery... The battery is so amazing! I charge it overnight, and it lasts for days! This is impressive, considering I use it for hours at school. Anyway, thanks for reading the review! Upvote if you feel it helped you make a decision if you were considering buying this tablet!

First off, this re-seller got my Mini out to me on time. Or actually, Amazon did (I think it was fulfilled by Amazon).
The Apple ID numbers were covered up by a sticker attached by the re-seller. I had to carefully peel this back so I could call Apple and get the smut on this particular device (more on that below). I wanted to make sure that is was not a repackaged, used device, as others have reviewed, or that it was refurbished, or purchased over 30 days ago (and thus ineligble for AppleCare- also reviewed below). I was able to peel off the sticker without ruining the plastic wrap, which would have made my return 'opened'.
A corner of the box was slightly dinged in, and the plastic wrap on the box looked pretty well scuffed up, and definitely gave the appearance that it had been bounced around quite a bit.
I did not open the box, as I found out from Apple that this was not actually a brand new device.
I looked for but did not find a Mini sold directly by Amazon. It appears (and an Apple Tech confirmed this) that Amazon does not sell Apple products, instead relying on resellers to take on that onus. Is this all cause of the Kindle?
What impact does that have on us? In most cases, you will be ineligible for AppleCare. AppleCare is a huge benefit for most purchasers, covering all types of damage up to 2 years. If you buy an Apple product from someone other than an Apple store, you can still enroll your device in AppleCare, but it must be done within 30 days of purchase, and it must be done at an Apple store.
When you purchase an Apple product through Amazon, you are getting a device that in most cases was purchased by someone like us, at a BestBuy, WalMart, Target, etc, at some point in the recent past. They then 're-sell' the device on Amazon. Apple uses the origianl date of purchase from the Apple vendor (the BestBuy, Walmart, Target, etc) to start the 30 day AppleCare counter. In my case, my Mini arrived on the 30th day from original purchase. I had 3 hours to get my device down to an Apple store, get it enrolled in AppleCare, or else I would be SOL. Fortunately, Amazon's incredible return policy enabled me to just go online and in a few clicks print out my free return label.
As an FYI, Apple stores are the absolute best way to purchase an Apple device. Not only are they cheaper (mine was actually the same price, with tax, as it was from Amazon), but they will spend over an hour with you getting it set up, linked to your iTunes, your iPhone, iCloud, etc. It's an amazing experience, and it's all free with your purchase.
I challenge Amazon (and Apple) to combine their two excellent companies and develop a strategy for online buying experience that actually enhances each other's products/services, rather than detract from them as they do now.

We purchased a 1st generation iPad Mini to test some of our websites. With the exception of a shiny white iMac computer, and older 30 gig iPod we are a Windows centric business. I have access to an older Pandigital android tablet, Kindle Fire, Asus RT, Acer W500 running WIndows 8.1 pro and WIndows 8 phone.
Yes, the iPad was easy to learn but I have been working with computer technologies since 1977. The build quality good but not any more impressive than that of my Asus RT tablet and the Dell Venue Pro 8 I worked with for a few days. My hat off to Apple for getting folks to accept a consumption device that does not support flash or something as simple as downloading MP3 files from sites other than iTunes. I spent $4.95 for a browser app that supports flash. In all my years of using computers, this is the first time I have felt compelled to buy a browser!
If I want to view and hear a YouTube video posted in the Facebook app, I must display it in Safari. The Apps store and iTunes take an exceptionally long time to load. I had to add an app just to be able to download our MP3 files! Speech commands and dictation require you be on line for Siri to connect with Apple servers (shades of Chromebook dependency on a Wi-Fi connection.) We all know how "secure" our internet data is so why not? (cough, cough) In Windows 8 tablets,the free built-in Microsoft Speech to text and control software is designed for off line as well as on line use.
Even after adjusting font size options, screen print is often too small to read comfortably and zoom does not always work. Wi-Fi is slower than any other portable device I own. I can't argue against success but am dumbfounded such a limited device with an equally impressive high price has become the tablet standard. I am spoiled by tablets that allow full access to flash sites, true off line accessibility and file downloads. True, the Windows apps store is limited but I don't need many of the Apple apps that add functionality built-in to my other devices.
Apple and Jobs deserve my profound admiration for the amazing success of what I consider to be an exceptionally limited, overpriced device. Bravo.

Previous tablet: 1st Nexus 7 32GB
Reason for upgrading: Old tablet showed signs of its age, glitchy touch screen, sporadic battery life, and often needed reboots.
My tablet Use: Web Browsing, Gaming, Remote Control, and eBooks.
To keep things simple, I’ve broken my review into 4 categories, and I’ll review around them.
Setup / Ease of Use:
The mini comes fully charged out of the box.
AppleID registration was simple.
Was up n’ running in just a half-hour.
Speed
Applications open instantly
Scrolling is jitter-free
Websites display instantly, just like a desktop computer.
Size
Perfect all around for a 7.9 Inch Tablet.
Vs Nexus 7 1st Gen
Keeping in mind that the 1st Gen 7 is 2 years old and runs on 4-year old hardware – the experience is night and day (as expected.) The upgrade is definitely worth the money, but the ONLY downside is purchasing the same apps all over again. However, I realized that I really don’t need 3/4s of them anyway. If you’re debating on this, and you are having issues with your current tablet – go for the iPad Mini, you will not regret it.

I absolutely love it. It's basically like a big iPhone without the calling feature (at least for me). I've had my iPhone for a little over a year and it's been holding up great, but sometimes I worry I use it too much as a computer and not as a phone. So I wanted something to take the pressure off. The iPad mini 2 has been great. I already knew how to use it and everything. I mostly surf the net and watch stuff that streams (like Hulu and Netflix), so for me 16 gigs is sufficient. The screen is absolutely amazing. If I start to run out of room I usually just offload my pictures. I've been able to put a lot of apps on it and save room on my iPhone; it's been great. Sure, I wish there was more memory, but hey if you can only afford the 16, you're still getting a great deal. I highly recommend it; especially now that the iPad mini 3 just came out. The 3 has only got one small new feature; other than that it's exactly the same as the 2. So the prices will be lower on the 2 now and a lot of people will be selling theirs. I highly recommend it; now is the time to buy it!

APPLE IS OVER- RATED- this ipad was shipped with no cushion or padding in box. Also, ipad started being less responsive on touch screen right away. Worked ok after that until 6 months of gentle in house only use. At 6 months video capture stopped working. Same thing with new ipod last year. 8 months and then hardware problems. I will not buy anymore Apple products. They make high profits, charge high prices for products that only last under a year. I am tired of all the repairs and trouble with Apple. Next time will just get a cheap one. Hope Sony or someone can bring more competition for Apple which is becoming too big for their britches.

First off this is my very first Apple product, except a first gen iPod nano. I got the iPad mini because I needed a device to be used for school work. I needed something portable, great battery life, and functional. I was going to get another laptop after mine took a coffee bath but decided to go with the iPad mini because I was able to get it through AT&T for only $20 a month so I didn't have to shell out a huge chunk of change. And I get have internet pretty much everywhere I go and don't have to worry about connecting to wifi just to do some web browsing.
The iPad mini works great for me because I have a lot of down time between shifts at work. My shifts are only about two hours, but I'll have 3 or 4 shifts a day and sometimes 30 minutes to an hour downtime between each so I get to cram in school work between. It's super portable, I just throw it in my backpack and because of the battery life I just leave the charge cable at home. No ned to lug around a clunky laptop.
With a keyboard this really has replaced my laptop, there is some trade offs. I don't have a mouse and getting used to apple software and its limitations. But for youtubing, writing and web browsing it is great.
I don't like the App Store, I feel the apps on there are trying to nickel and dime you for every last penny. You really need to watch what you buy and make sure it is what you are paying for. The first night I had it I paid 5 bucks for a word processor (silly me) that I thought was Microsoft word it turned out to be just a bunch of tutorial videos. The games are even worse, the free to play games want you to pay for everything. There are good games and apps but its hard to find them because of all the crap in the App Store. There are thousands of bad apps for every good one. I would give this a 5 star if the App Store wasn't so crappy, apple needs better content curation.
Despite the App Store and the software limitations I was able to accept a few trade offs for the great battery life and portability.

The reasons I used to choose the iPad mini. I put my specific needs above buying the biggest and the brightest. The following are what I thought was important for me, it may not be for you.
As much as I wanted the retina display, the larger sized iPad was simply too big for me to regularly take outside the house - I made that mistake with buying a too big, too heavy laptop once. But the mini, at 7inches, is big enough to watch movies, read books and magazines on my couch and bed with ease. Those who think a smartphone or ipod does the same thing, are mistaken, even at 7inch, a tablet makes the world of difference - I typed this review on my iPad, I would still be typing if I had used my phone. If you have never experienced the quality of the retina display, you probably will not miss it here. The thing is solidly build as you would expect from an apple product; the speakers do pack a punch, you can literally feel the air coming out.
As for choosing apple over android or windows 8. The need for the use of flash (a deal-breaker for me when the first iPad came out) has lessened substantially, as HTML 5 is now the go to standard for web pages. Even though I'm a PC user, I am familiar with apps via my iPod touch. The amount and more importantly, the quality of apps in the apple eco system are far superior to the ones on android. although the novelty has somewhat worn off on the appeal of my impulse buying of apps, it's still a major reason for buying a tablet. Take for example - my optimum cable iOS app, it is so far superior to its android cousin, it's hard to believe that it was written for the same product. Based on my experiences with dubious apps in the (for better or worse) largely unsupervised google play store, via my Samsung Galaxy, there is an advantage to being part of the paternal Apple market. Although, I expect this to change dramatically, the next couple of years, Windows isn't even on the same planet, in terms of app selection. If you need to multitask, are price conscious, or simply despise Apple, the Android based kindle fire HD or nexus, with their better screen quality, may be for you.
I bought the 16 gig version, using the extra $$ to buy 4G capability instead, to take advantage of the growing options of cloud computing when I travel. If you have kids and travel a lot with and without them, or for business, you should seriously consider the 4G option, as ubiquitous, free, reliable Wifi, like flying cars, has yet to be a reality. If you get the wifi only version, don't have an iPod, but still can't live without your stored media, you probably should consider 32 gigs minimum, especially if you don't get the 4G. The other issue of Verizon CDMA vs AT&T's GSM network, is a whole other story. One slight peeve. The "lighting fast" connector looks nicer than the older one but it's clearly a money making device (apple could have finally accepted the virtually USB standard but why give your loyal customers the option of using a ubiquitous $10.00 cable, when you can charge triple times that, if you need a replacement) Mine still does not charge my iPad, when connected to my "older" (30 month old computer,) I have to do so from a wall outlet.
Long story short, I've had mine for a few days, with no regrets. Yes, the retina display will be tempting but is not worth waiting months for on the mini. Life is short. You can always trade up next year.

I'm much more impressed than I thought I would be with the new iPad mini. For comparison purposes I currently use my Nexus 7 tablet, Acer Iconia A500 tablet, Kindle tough and HTC One X. I'm not going to nitpick hardware specs. Sure the screen isn't IPS but I don't see the big difference unless I have two devices side-by-side. In actual use, they all have fantastic screens.

Like any mobile device the iPad mini has strong points and weak points.
I believe the strong points here are the nice screen, battery life and overall fast performance. This is a much better ebook reader than I thought it would be. In low light situations it is much nicer than a Kindle. The devise is easier to hold with two hands than one. The iPad mini is also great for gaming and watching videos. I have a larger tablet (10.1) also and this size is just more fun and portable. I accessed my work desktop using Citrix Receiver and it worked great for reading email and other documents and impromptu typing. Sound quality was excellent as usual. The new power connector is easier to plug in. The battery life far exceeds than any other device I own except the Kindle Touch.
The things that I thought could use some improvement were few but an annoying few. WiFi performance is really lacking. At home, at work and on travel the Wifi is really slow. App downloads are horribly slow on connections I know to be fast. I tried connecting at 5G also and it didn't make any improvement. Every once in a while I think the screen jitters. It would be an artifact from the scree auto-rotating. I was a little disappointed that it didn't come with some nice Apple earbuds. For the price I would have expected it. The power adapter is yet another Apple-proprietary connector. So more money on chargers and more chargers laying around.
Overall this is a great tablet with awesome performance and has an extremely convenient size.

I received this as a gift, so it may not be the one i would have picked, the mini form factor is nice, but since i have a note 4, i find the mini to be a bit redundant in some respects, especially at 16g, but its still a great tablet, as quick or quicker than my iPad 3 and much handier to carry around, more kindle like in that respect. I use Fuji X cameras, and this makes a handier sized (to carry around) remote control/viewfinder that is small enough to throw in the camera bag. My reason for not giving 5 starts is i feel this form factor may be fading, with all the larger phones that have similar and even more capabilities, and the camera isn't the 8 mp unit that even my 3 year old iPhone 4s had, but a 5 mp unit, come on apple? I did a little research, and it seems less than 5% of apples tablet orders are mini's. Maybe my opinion isn't far off.

I just sold my iPad 2 and switched over to the mini with retina. The main problem I had with my old iPad (and full size iPads in general) was strangely the size. The screen space was great but came at the cost of portability. It added a significant amount of weight and bulk to whatever purse/bag I decided to put it in. That became a huge nuisance as a student constantly moving from one area of campus to another. Now, I was originally worried about downgrading to smaller screen space. I tested a few minis in the store and liked the feel (it's perfect for thumb typing, even for people with small hands like me!) of the tablet, and I was thoroughly surprised by the screen quality. Details were very crisp and it didn't feel crammed together like I originally thought. This all might not sound like much since I was coming from an iPad 2, but I do have a retina Macbook Pro. I can say out of the box that the detail and quality of the iPad mini screen is comparable to my full size Macbook screen.
Granted, I've only had the mini for a day, so we'll see how things pan out over the week (which is why I can't give it a full 5 stars just yet). I typically use my iPad for reading, emails, and web surfing - generally light stuff. On occasion, I'll use it to watch movies on Netflix if I'm traveling. Haven't tested out any movies just yet. I have tested the sound, and that definitely gets an A+. Crisp and surprisingly loud, although the speakers being on one side forces you to angle the mini correctly so you get the full effect.

I use it for travel entertainment and light duty work such as note taking and working with Office applications (I did purchase the snugg). Now I never leave home for work or vacation without it. The battery lasts 10+ hours if continuous downloaded /6 hours streamed movie watching. The battery has lasted 6 days on standby. Even with the addition of the snugg keyboard cover, it is feather weight compared to other mini tablets. The retina display is like looking at 3D graphics full time. My only complaint is the speaker quality. You will want good earbuds or Bluetooth speakers to compensate.

I wanted to get a tablet this size to use when traveling and started with a Kindle Fire. Amazon charges for storage of songs so I returned it. I purchased the MINI and was very pleased with the crystal clear resolution. It synchs beautifully with iTunes and Apple does not charge for storage. Watching Netflix is a breeze and using it as a Kindle is also easy. However, many other applications are flawed. The Yahoo mail app, for example, does not delete messages nor does it transfer your contact lists, so you can only forward to individual contacts. That's a zero in my book. The YouTube app is also seriously flawed. Reviewers give it two stars out of five so I deleted it. Using many of the apps and features requires entering passwords each time which is also a pain. I do not find it easy to use despite having purchased the excellent guide "iPad mini for Dummies"
All in all, for the money, I am NOT happy with my MINI. I don't know if Microsoft System tablets are better or easier to use, I wish it was possible to try one out before purchasing it.

If you are looking for a tablet that will offer lots of entertainment and easy to carry, then look no further. The iPad mini offers just about everything that its larger sibling does, but in a smaller package. I have many tablets and enjoy the differences between iOS and Android, but I will keep this review to the device itself.
I was recently surprised that the apps that I purchased on my iPhone 5 where available to download on this tablet. I expected to be forced into purchasing new apps because this was a tablet.
It is also worth mentioning that the charging cable for this iPad mini is the same as the iPhone 5, 5c, and 5s which saved me from purchasing an extra charger to keep at work.
After using this tablet for a while I did have a little bit of buyer's remorse and wished I had spent the extra money on the Retina version. With the Retina version you get a much sharper display(Higher resolution) and a faster 64 bit processing chip.
Overall, Its a light device with good battery life and it syncs nicely with the Apple ecosystem that some of us are already wrapped up in.

Another great product from Apple. I love it! I needed another E reader when my nook started acting up. I don't feel you can beat the quality that Apple puts into their products. I used a nook app to transfer all my books to this and even downloaded the kindle app. It can't be beat. Now I can search Ibooks, Nook, and Kindle to get the best price for any book I want. Plus the battery life is great and games and Netflix work amazing on it! Stop buying a product that frustrates you with problems, and spend the extra money for peace of mind and quality.

I got my hands on one of these a couple of days ago and absolutely love it.
Pros:
- It's very thin and light, yet sturdy.
- The CPU runs fast and performance isn't an issue with the applications I need it for, which is mostly web development.
- It has the compactness of an iphone with the power of a full sized ipad; it's a great compromise between the two .
Cons
- It's very easy to use up 16gb of memory quickly, so I'd recommend the 32GB model:

It's hard to find cons because it's such a great device, maybe I'll add some later.

I am a fan of the apple products. I bought the iPad because I was looking for a tablet that would allow my daughter to download apps to play with while we were in the car on trips. the photo quality is amazing and would use this over my cell phone. The screen quality is good as well. The large screen is definitely a bonus. The only thing I would change is being able to get rid of the newstand and other apps that come along with the tablet. Most of the pre loaded apps I have never used and am unable to delete them off of the home screen.

I was really excited about getting an I-pad mini for my birthday in August. Now, I wish my husband had purchased something else. It took about four hours for Apple to get it up and running. Four hours! I knew it wouldn't be as simple as turning on a button, but four hours is a bit much.
There is a problem with this I-pad mini. I have had other difficulties with it.
Another thing, no instructions came with this that even told me how to turn it on. I had to figure that out all by myself.
My daughter purchased a cheaper brand, took her about one minute to set it up, and it works better than my expensive mini. Maybe for social media it's great. I don't do social media, so I really wouldn't know about that.
I ordered three albums from I-tunes on it: one I was charged a dollar for. Then that was taken off my bank balance, and I still haven't been billed the correct amount. Another was supposed to have been $6.98 plus tax. It came to $17.something. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to their pricing.
Grrr!
Another problem is the battery. This definitely does not hold a charge, even though I turn the device off when I'm not using it. This is just annoying, and I've decided not to use it for an e-reader. I have my Kindle,and the battery holds a charge much better. I am thinking about purchasing a kindle fire. I really can't see the I-pad mini as any kind of substitute for an e-reader or lap top.
Update 1/11/2014: My I-pad mini has died. It isn't recharging at all. I deeply regret having purchased this. Other problems, when I type a comma, it switches it to an s or a totally different word! Disgusting. I don't know for sure, but I bet this was a used one sold as new. Too may problems to name here, but I will say if this is representative of an apple product, I'm not purchasing anymore apples. My Ipad mini has Itunes I've purchased. That was wasted money because now I can't use the Ipad to play them. Don't buy the mini. It's just a piece of junk!
Update 2/17/2014: Took my iPad mini in. The UBS adapter was the wrong size for my mini. Also the UBS cable wires were bent. I bought a replacement for both items. Yesterday, I opened up Siri. I hadn't tried to use that before. I discovered all kinds of names in it. For instance, e-mail Shirley. Make reservations at a restaurant in Paris. It is loaded with other names and instructions. I know none of the names, and I've never even asked Siri for anything. I paid full price for a used item. grrr.

After using this iPad Mini for more than 6 months. I love it. Not only it is small in size, but it is thin, making it easy to hold. I often go to bed and watch videos, and because the iPad mini is so light that my hand is not getting tired from it. The silver polish on the back cover is pleasant to the eye and all those round corners are so smooth that making the hand comfortable to hold it.
The graphic user interface is really smooth, and when swiping the screen across it switches softly. Although I find the 16GB can quickly run out of space, when I downloaded a lot of apps, and take lots of pictures and video. I would recommend the 32GB version because it gives you room to store move media files and install more apps.
