This is a great tablet despite what all the nay sayers complain about the screen not being a retina display. I had a generation 1 iPad and also a samsung galaxy tab 2 7 inch. The galaxy is nice, but the ipad mini has an easier to view screen and the overall feel of the tablet is super slim and...

Pros:
  • Extreemly portable
  • retina display
  • latest processor
Cons:
  • Some things can look tiny

iPad Mini 2 review

At £319 for the 16GB, cellular-free, model, the iPad Mini Retina isn't cheap, especially compared to its rivals. Things get almost MacBook-like at the top-end, with the 128GB/4G model setting you back £659.
Pros:
  • Stunning Retina display
  • Speed performance
  • Size and weight for daily use
Cons:
  • Price
  • No Touch ID

iPad mini with Retina display review

The iPad mini Retina is here and it clears up one of the biggest complaints about the original iPad mini: the screen. With the original it wasn't as good as the iPad or the iPhone, but with the Retina display now on board the iPad mini 2 looks to be an incredible tablet device.
Pros:
  • Portable
  • powerful
  • great screen
  • as a tablet should be
Cons:
  • No Touch ID
  • not 802.11ac
  • no microSD

Apple iPad Mini 2 with Retina display

The iPad Mini 2 with Retina Display is the iPad Mini we always wanted. We really liked last year's original model, but it always felt like the underpowered, under-specced smaller sibling to the full iPad. Now all that separates the two is size, and that makes for quite the pint-sized proposition.
Pros:
  • Stunning screen
  • Fast performance
  • Premium design
  • Fantastic app selection

My wife has had the old mini since it came out. It has piqued my curiosity to own one.
Pros:
  • It's an iPad (and I'm not even an Apple fanboi)
Cons:
  • Too small to read

Apple iPad mini 2 Review

Apple found a lot of success with the original iPad mini. It delivered an Apple tablet experience in a smaller size and at a slightly more affordable price than the full fat iPad and people went mad for it. The only real problem it had was its screen which, frankly, wasn't all that.
Pros:
  • Stunning design
  • Powerful
  • Good battery life
Cons:
  • Expensive

When we first clutched last year's Apple iPad Mini , we were instantly sold. The compact and featherlight body was a dream compared with the 4th-generation iPad 's bulky, heavy build, making it friendly on our puny biceps.
Pros:
  • Beautifully crisp and responsive screen
  • Impressive performance
  • Still comfortably slim and light
