We purchased an iPad Mini 2 during the Black Friday sale. The product arrived as expected. It was well packed and it even showed up a day early.

Slides right in the side pocket of my purse and is relatively lightweight for everything thing it can do. Portable with enough storage for my music & videos is what I needed and this is perfect. Obviously checking and responding to email is so much easier than trying to do it from your phone.

The iPad mini Retina is here and it clears up one of the biggest complaints about the original iPad mini: the screen. With the original it wasn't as good as the iPad or the iPhone, but with the Retina display now on board the iPad mini 2 looks to be an incredible tablet device.

Portable; powerful; great screen; as a tablet should be

No Touch ID; not 802.11ac; no microSD

Small doesn't have to mean second-rate, we've seen the future of tablets and it looks like the Retina iPad Mini

Gorgeous build; stunning Retina screen; All day battery life; Much faster than the original Mini

Very expensive compared to 7/8in tablets; No expandable storage; Marginally inferior colours compared to Air's screen

Being a big Apple fan I have an iPhone and use the house iPad extensively. Wanting something a little more portable however I selected the iPad mini and have not been disappointed.

Apple found a lot of success with the original iPad mini. It delivered an Apple tablet experience in a smaller size and at a slightly more affordable price than the full fat iPad and people went mad for it. The only real problem it had was its screen which, frankly, wasn't all that.

Stunning design; Powerful; Good battery life

Expensive

Now at a new lower price, the renamed iPad Mini 2 is the best value iPad in the entire range

I upgraded to the iPad mini with retina display from an iPad 2. Best upgrade I have made, the iPad display is as good as my iPhone 5s. It is super fast to with the better processor.

When you are buying this, you are buying the best tablet; Really easy to set up and use; A real handy size to fit in a handbag.

Actually it is rubbish, its in the bin as it overheated just out of warranty. Avoid this rubbish. Less than 1 star. I have only given it 5 stars as this is what you will read, just type in apple ipad mini overheating into google and you will see what I mean.

the reason I bought mine was to vid call via messenger 6000 + miles away in Malaysia from Birmingham uk ,and it has not failed me the build quality is what you would expect for the brand name with a great price tag so I would highly recommend it !!!
