The iPad mini doesn't arrive in stores until November 2, but our US colleagues got to spend some time with one after Apple's media event at the California Theater in San Jose. Their conclusion: Yes, it's a small iPad-but there's more (and less) to it than that. Here are their hands-on impressions.

Apple iPad mini review Review

The iPad mini is a 7.9-inch version of Apple's popular iPad, and offers a polished tablet experience in a smaller package. It's too expensive however, and its display resolution doesn't measure up to competing tablets, or other iOS devices.
Pros:
  • Ultra-thin and light
  • Handles ebooks and iPad apps well
  • Camera
  • storage and optional 4G make for a full iPad experience
Cons:
  • Over £100 more expensive than rivals
  • Low-resolution display
  • A5 processor isn't particularly quick

Apple iPad Mini review

Small and light enough to take everywhere but big and clever enough to be considered a full-blooded tablet, the iPad Mini provides a near-perfect balance – for a price
Pros:
  • Like the iPad
  • but easier to handle
  • Beautifully built
  • Battery life is impressive
Cons:
  • No Retina Display means a lack of detail
  • Expensive compared to the Nexus 7

video Review: iPad mini gives you most of an iPad at half the size

Don't confuse the "mini" in "iPad mini" with "lite"--with the exception of a Retina display, this slimmed down iPad gives you the full iPad experience, including access to over 275,000 iPad-optimized apps, in a device that's about half the overall size and weight of the standard iPad.
Pros:
  • Most of the full-size-iPad experience in a smaller
  • lighter package
  • All existing iPad apps run natively
  • Wireless capabilities and cameras on par with fourth-generation iPad
  • Very good performance
  • Incredibly solid construction and beautiful design
Cons:
  • No Retina display
  • Some apps and websites feel a little cramped on the smaller screen
  • Landscape keyboard is too small for easy touch-typing
