Two months down the line and the iPad mini has been elevated as my go-to tablet of choice, which is surprising for someone who relies on the larger iPad for so many things.

So, is it worth the extra £100? We think so.

Great design; IOS 6 is easy to use; screen size is good; long battery life; good camera

Very good service from Wex

Apple iPad Mini is a one hell device, which is sure to make people curious and create an appetite to own one. An iOS based tablet PC, iPad Mini comes as a fourth-generation device from the famed brand.

Compact and slim design; Good battery life; Simple and neat UI

Screen resolution not quite effective; No GPS; Bit expensive than other brand tablets

Nov 5 2012 - Apple's iPad Mini may have to overcome pricing issues for a 7-inch tablet but it still offers an amazing option for those looking at a smaller or more affordable iPad.

This is the tablet I wanted, couldn't be happier. I usually get 10hrs of wifi use and about 7 hrs on 3g. This is really good because I use my mini constantly for streaming media,apps,music and various things I look up. i only have to charge the tablet once a day.

Does the world need a newer, smaller iPad that's practically the same price as the existing iPad 2 I mean, looking at it on paper, the iPad mini uses the same hardware as the iPad 2 - the same processor, same amount of RAM, same screen resolution - and it's only $70 less expensive.

I love my iPad mini. I own an iPad first generation so this is a great upgrade. I also own a iPod touch and an iPhone. I loved my first ipad but it was no longer getting upgrades and it was slowing down but this was after three years and several drops. I love the size and thinnest of the iPad mini.

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.
