I use it for my disabled 5 year old son who has cerebral palsy, has great communication apps, its hard for him to talk so we use this so he can show us what he's saying. This item has something for every age. We love it. He loves the apps he doesn't know he's learning at the same time.

Cases Are Pricey

"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

This is the first iPad generation mini. Almost no difference in build, looks and feel with the latest model except that display is not retina quality. But it's still really very good, it updates with the latest iOS and given the price is a fantastic catch.

Updated OS

Display

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. Is it expensive?

This probably sounds obvious, but the iPad mini really is mini; So much so that you can hold it with one hand; This is true of its seven inch rivals as well as the iPad mini, but it's still worth bearing in mind: a 7.9-inch iPad is much smaller compared to a 9.7-inch iPad than it sounds in paper.

We could grumble at the lack of Retina Display: the iPad mini's display packs in the same 1024x768 pixels as the original 2010 iPad; and purists will spot the extra grain and fuzz around the edge of text.

The iPad mini is a premium small tablet, with a price to match. It's a shame Apple couldn't have included a Retina screen and newer processor - expect the iPad mini 2 to get those updates when it launches later this year. This Wi-Fi only model also lacks GPS.

The display's resolution may not have the full-size iPad's wow factor, but this is still an excellent compact tablet

Apple went gone where we never thought it would, with the iPad mini bringing the Apple tablet experience to a brave new budget world. Two generations on and the original mini now comes in at a wallet-friendly ￡199 / $249 / AU$299 for the Wi-Fi version, with 16GB of storage on offer.

I was plesantly suprised by how fast the unit arrived. I am new to this type of computing , but I am picking up the ease it takes to learn how to add apps . Yes I will recomend to all my friends.

Absolutely love this cover! Very stylish! Easy to set up the keyboard ! Would recommend it!!
