The iPad Mini 2 is a great tablet. I'm writing the review with it right now. It is perfect for people who want a tablet that can fit in a small compartment, but still want a display that is large and clear enough to get work done.

Great battery; Clear display; Good speakers; Great value; Very thin and light design; Extremely fast processor and graphics

Pricey / Poor Value

We purchased an iPad Mini 2 during the Black Friday sale. The product arrived as expected. It was well packed and it even showed up a day early.

Many of you screamed for an iPad mini with a Retina display, and now Apple has delivered. It's an improvement on last year's iPad mini in every way possible, but we can't help but think it's still a little on the pricey side.

Apple has stuck with the same design as last year's iPad mini; which in itself is a departure from the tapered look of previous iPads – and it's still as impressive as when it was first revealed.

Tablets are not exactly known for their brilliant sound quality, and the new iPad mini is no exception either; The stereo speakers included on the mini will certainly make do for occasional listening, but they're not as loud as the pair found on the iPad Air, and they're also positioned awkwardly.

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 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

I upgraded to the iPad mini with retina display from an iPad 2. Best upgrade I have made, the iPad display is as good as my iPhone 5s. It is super fast to with the better processor.

When you are buying this, you are buying the best tablet; Really easy to set up and use; A real handy size to fit in a handbag.

Now at a new lower price, the renamed iPad Mini 2 is the best value iPad in the entire range

Slides right in the side pocket of my purse and is relatively lightweight for everything thing it can do. Portable with enough storage for my music & videos is what I needed and this is perfect. Obviously checking and responding to email is so much easier than trying to do it from your phone.
