As with all iPad's I've used, it functions & performs just as beautifully. Of course, the mini doesn't have the power that the full sized iPads have, so if you're wanting to do graphic intensive games or videos, go with the full sized iPad. I have played lots of basic games & constantly stream videos all without a problem, but it may be an issue if you want to do graphic intensive games. I stream video from my iPad to my Apple TV daily (cuts cable!) and I've never had a problem with any lags or graphic problems (unless my wifi goes out...my wifi company is iffy & has been for years, but that's a whole different story).
The only thing that would make this iPad mini perfect is if it had a Retina display. I know it is only a matter of time & we will (hopefully) see a retina display on the second generation iPad mini, but I really wish they could have done a retina display the first time around. Switching from my iPhone 5 to the mini I can definitely see a loss in the sharpness of text which is unfortunate since I love using my iPad mini for reading books. It's not a huge deal since everything still looks great & is more than useable (in fact, if you don't have any other Apple products with retina you probably won't know what I'm talking about), but if you're going from a retina display iPhone or iPad you really will notice the loss of quality.
Overall, it's a great product & I highly recommend it! Of course there are other brand tablets with lower price points, but I love the quality & service of Apple products & that's what keeps me coming back.



Pros:
I've never owned a tablet before the iPad Mini. I had toyed with getting a Nexus 7, but the Google Play Store just didn't have enough tablet specific apps. I owned an iPhone so I chose to stay within that ecosystem. The app selection for the iPad/iPad Mini is great. The non-retina display is not a concern for me. The display is still very good looking though. The size and weight feel great in your hands and is a great in-between of a smartphone and a laptop. I particularly like the aluminum back. It's cold to the touch when you first start using it, but then adapts to your hand temperature. It's solid hardware and feels very premium.
Cons:
Speaking of premium, the price. When I bought the iPad Mini in 2012, it was $330 and the processor was already a year behind at that point. The price point as of late 2013 is $299, with the new iPad Mini at a whopping $399. The hundred dollar difference between the 7.9 inch iPad Mini and the 9.7 inch iPad Air makes it difficult to decide. Especially since the new Nexus 7 is only $230 and Amazon Kindle Fire at $139. The processor is still OK, but it can lag on graphic intensive games. If you don't play much of those, you'll be fine. Movies, Youtube, etc all play extremely well.
Rating: 5 out of 5.
Recommended: Yes. If you decide to shell out money for an Apple product, you're buying into a great app ecosystem and great hardware that you'll be happy with.






As soon as I turned on the mini I was sold.
1. Much easier to hold. A good portable device between the small iPhone 5 and the full size iPad.
2. The display is better than the 2nd gen iPad thanks to the smaller screen, yet easy to read and good detail for apps ment for the iPads. Note that there is a magnifying capability for iPhone apps that gives a small display full screen display.
3. Typing is easy as the keys are spaced apart and large enought for touch typing.
4. Believe it or not the mini fits easly into to the side pocket of my vest when housed in a Roocase filo cover. Try to do that with the larger tablets.
I spent several hours at Apple's AppStore building a library of iPad apps, most which we're free. I also purchased apps for using Excel, Word, PDFs and found these worked very well when converting files I placed in iCloud. Reading the converted documents is easy as the print on the mini is large and clear enough not to cause eye strain.
A couple of disappointments:
1. Teathering to the iPhone 5 is simple, but I found that I use the mini more and more now for web search, texting , etc. and the iPhone 5 primarily for phone calls. A result is i now know that I should have purchased the mini with the cell option. Not a fault of the mini.
2. Without the cell networking option, apps that use your location do not work, even when connected to wifi or teathered to the iPhone. This was a disappointment as mini will make a great GPS screen when driving. It also means that apps that "find" your device won' t work either - I should have thought of this.
3. Third party accessories are slow coming to the market. If the accessory uses the lighting connector it probably won't be seen until early 2013. I have also found that cases with keypads are slow coming on the market. The top brand protective cases such as Zagg and Clamcase have yet to release their promised cases.
Would like to see: A mini with cell phone connectivity, i. e. a smart phone option. Why some of the smart phone manufacturers have not offered this would be an interesting article.
Recomendation: My Windows PC has not been started since the mini arrived. After a month of using the mini without the cell network option, I have ordered one with cell networking. When I get it will probably write a review and if the cell networking works like the larger iPad it will get five stars.
