Apple iPad mini (Wi-Fi)

The iPad mini lets you run the best library of apps in the biz on a tablet you'll actually want to carry, but it's not the best small-screen tablet you can buy.

As someone who was eagerly waiting the press release of this iPad Mini, I could hardly contain my excitement. That was short lived when I found out the specs. However, I thought I would give the iPad Mini the chance it deserves. How disappointed I was. The screen, is a huge letdown.
Pros:
  • Large amount of optimsed apps
  • good build quality
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • No retina display
  • speed of the CPU is inadequate as well as the GPU
  • Screen is sometimes unresponsive

Apple iPad mini Review

When I was testing the iPad mini this weekend, I pitted it against my 11-inch MacBook Air and third-generation iPad to see what device I would use more around the house and would take out on the road to do some work on. The clear winner was the iPad mini.
Pros:
  • Excellent Form Factor
  • design and build quality
  • Fantastic battery life
  • Very portable and practical
Cons:
  • Lack of Retina display and lower resolution will be a deal breaker for some
  • Price higher than anticipated
  • First-generation device
  • lots to improve on

Apple iPad mini

Is it a small iPad or a big iPhone or is the iPad mini a device that forges a whole new market for Apple? They're legitimate questions, but the truth is, it's all of the above. We've been thinking about all this for a while now, it started with the first rumour of a smaller iPad and we're only now,...
Pros:
  • More portable
  • still a big screen
  • light
  • great for gaming
  • less chunky
Cons:
  • Screen resolution
  • 4G won't work on Vodafone or O2
  • old processor

Forget the headlines and exit the hype train at the next station. The iPad mini is here and it's not the shining beacon we all expected it to be, but it damn-well got close.

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

In the moment that the iPad mini was announced to feature a starting price point of $330, we were left wondering in confusion as to why? Factoring in its hardware specs and all, it would lead anyone to believe that this latest iPad is rather over-bloated at $330, which is still seen as a...
Pros:
  • Super skinny construction
  • Takes good photos & videos for a tablet
  • Stellar battery life
Cons:
  • Low resolution display

Apple iPad mini (16GB/32GB/64GB)

One of the major challenges Apple has faced over the past several years has been an inability of both critics and consumers to fully grasp the importance of devices it releases in new form factors-until something, perhaps their unexpected popularity, clicks conceptually and begins to make sense.
Pros:
  • A smaller and much easier to carry sequel to the iPad 2, benefitting from newer industrial design elements and technologies introduced in the fifth-generation iPod touch
  • Generally very solid build quality and highly attractive fit and finish, relying on thin but strong glass painted in either black...
Cons:
  • Battery on Wi-Fi model falls modestly short of Apple's 10-hour claim under some circumstances
  • cellular run time similarly falls below 9-hour estimate. Base $329 price tag is a little high, especially considering the additional expense of Lightning accessories and Apple's decision to pack in an...
