Apple iPad mini (Wi-Fi)

How much are apps worth to you? How about $120? If you want those iPad-exclusive apps and price is no object, then no other small-screen tablet will do. Beautifully made, slim, and light, the iPad mini ($329/16GB, $429/32GB, $529/64GB direct) packs precisely the power of an iPad 2 into a tablet...
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • Wide.

The first time I saw the iPad mini at an Apple Store, I decided to give it a pass. I already had a third-generation iPad with Retina Display and buying a smaller iPad did not make sense. Thankfully, a friend asked me to pick one for him and let me play around with it till I returned to India.

Despite what Steve Jobs so vehemently declared, has just released a smaller version of the iPad.  Well, I guess technically Steve said Apple would never release a 7″ tablet, and the iPad mini is a 7.9″ tablet, so Apple didn't quite make a liar out of him.
Pros:
  • Very small and light
  • Compatible with all iPad apps
  • Sturdy and well-built
  • Small enough to fit in a pocket
  • but big enough to comfortably read
  • Cheaper than previous versions of the iPad
  • Two speakers for better
  • louder sound
Cons:
  • Doesn't have a Retina display
  • Smart Cover for the mini costs as much as the original Smart Cover

Apple iPad mini review: One for the road

Wait, did hell just freeze over? Maybe a couple of degrees cooler? Rumors of a mini version of the iPad had been laughed at, dodged and denied - not necessarily in that order and often all at once.

Apple iPad Mini Review

If you're spoiled like us and are already used to high-resolution screens on your new gadgets, the iPad mini may be a let down, initially. But if you disarm your screen snobbery and relax, you'll find an incredibly comfortable, well-sized, well-built tablet at a more affordable $330 price.
Pros:
  • Great screen size
  • Comfortable and light
  • 300,000 apps
  • Good rear camera
Cons:
  • No Retina screen
  • Lightning connector adapter is expensive
  • No microSD
  • More expensive than Android competitors
