Nice to get it strait away ,liked the way it was easy to handle,loved the way it is really light and seems easy to navigate round,a good buy well pleased.

Overall, the comparisons above make it very clear that if you're going to get any of the Apple iPad mini tablets soon, then your best bet would probably be the iPad mini 2 or iPad mini with Retina Display.

The Apple iPad mini 2 ($299, 16GB) is just a shrunken, original iPad Air . With a new, lower price, though, it's become the best inexpensive on-ramp to the world of iOS apps. Think of it as Apple's lowest-cost laptop, Apple's netbook, or the true sequel to the somewhat marooned iPod touch .

Beautifully built; Fast; Sharp screen; Excellent app options

Not the latest Apple tech; Not as easy to hold with a single hand as narrower small-screen tablets

The Apple iPad mini 2 is just a shrunken, original iPad Air. With a new, lower price, though, it's become the best inexpensive on-ramp to the world of iOS apps.

The iPad mini is not just the best looking iPad ever, but the best looking tablet we have ever seen. Period. The front is dominated by the 7.9-inch touch screen display, even more so than in the larger iPad simply because the bezel has been shrunk, and the single Home key beneath the display made...

At last Apple has launched the iPad mini. But it is possible for a question to a rise ask ing whether this 7.9 inch tablet is up to the levels. Although the most recent tablets like the Nexus 7 have a 7 inch display the lovers of Apple will be eager to hear what th e iPad mini offers.

The iPad mini's a beautiful size, and a beautiful package the puts the production rivals of all its seven inch rivals to shame: Asus will really have to up its game for its Nexus 7 follow up. Is it expensive?

This probably sounds obvious, but the iPad mini really is mini; So much so that you can hold it with one hand; This is true of its seven inch rivals as well as the iPad mini, but it's still worth bearing in mind: a 7.9-inch iPad is much smaller compared to a 9.7-inch iPad than it sounds in paper.

We could grumble at the lack of Retina Display: the iPad mini's display packs in the same 1024x768 pixels as the original 2010 iPad; and purists will spot the extra grain and fuzz around the edge of text.

We review the iPad Mini, a 7.9-inch screened tablet set to challenge Google's Nexus 7 head-on

Premium look and feel Incredibly thin and light The iOS app selection is huge Great battery life

Sub-par screen sharpness Mediocre camera 4:3 aspect ration not suited to movies Too wide

The iPad Mini 3 updates Apple's iPad Mini line with new features such as Touch ID support and new finishes, but in multiple areas, the tablet is closer to a light refresh than a substantial upgrade.

The iPad Mini 3 is excellently constructed with a durable aluminum backing

The tablet relies on the same hardware used in past iPad Minis

Having used apple products for a long time I would recommend this product to anyone who was thinking of buying an iPad. There is notice difference apart from screen size with an iPad mini and iPad Air.

Worth every penny; None
