The iPad mini is an exceptionally built tablet with a fantastic app library, but it's let down by a less than stellar display
"Every inch an iPad". That's Apple's marketing punchline for its smallest, lightest and newest iPad, the iPad mini . Claiming to offer all the features of the traditional, larger iPad, the iPad mini packs a 7.9in display into a superbly crafted body.- Outstanding design and build quality
- Excellent battery life
- Fantastic apps ecosystem
- Non-retina display
- Some smaller UI elements
- Expensive
Apple iPad mini review
An outstanding compact tablet, beautifully designed and with great battery life. Apple has done a great job with the iPad mini, although it we do feel that the pricing is not as competitive as it could be.
iPad Mini review
The iPad Mini is exactly what its name suggests it is – a smaller iPad. With a good build, decent screen and specs, and a solid ecosystem behind it, there's no doubt that it's a compelling device. Price will, undoubtedly, be a factor for many.
Review: Apple iPad Mini
For the past few years, Apple has set the pace in the tablet market. With Amazon's Kindle Fire and Google's Nexus 7 gaining a firm foothold in compact tablets, however, Apple has found itself falling behind. Now it's hitting back with its own compact slate: the 7.9in iPad mini.
iPad Mini Review
by Brandon Miniman At long last, our wishes of a smaller and lighter iPad have come to fruition. The iPad 3 and 4 are great products, but they're heavy and thick, and because of this, exhausting to use for a long period of time. Apple has done a lot right to be the leader in tablets.- + Incredible build quality
- + Remarkably thin and light
- + Access to a plethora of quality apps
- + Outstanding battery life
- + Great display
- despite low-resolution
- + Snappy performance
- + Plenty of cellular data options
- - Low resolution screen can be bothersome from close viewing distances
- - Pricey
- - iOS is boring
First look: Apple iPad mini
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.- Ultra-thin and light
- Handles ebooks and iPad apps well
- Camera
- storage and optional 4G make for a full iPad experience
- Over £100 more expensive than rivals
- Low-resolution display
- A5 processor isn't particularly quick

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.
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.- 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
- No Retina display
- Some apps and websites feel a little cramped on the smaller screen
- Landscape keyboard is too small for easy touch-typing

- Lightning connector adapter is expensive
- No microSD
- More expensive than Android competitors
