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

Pros:
  • Super skinny construction
  • Takes good photos & videos for a tablet
  • Stellar battery life
Cons:
  • Low resolution display

  • 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
