AppleiPad mini (A17 Pro): Apple Intelligence, 8.3-inch Liquid Retina Display, 128GB, Wi-Fi 6E, 12MP Front/12MP Back Camera, Touch ID, All-Day Battery Life — Space GrayEPEAT

I have been using this iPad for over a week now and everything from the compact size, the beautiful screen quality to the performance has been an amazing experience. I am a hardcore gamer and part time editor so I purchased this tablet mainly for that reason.I was able to run PUBG mobile, Football Manager touch and Delta Force Mobile all on the highest settings available without any lags or stutters. It’s a 60fps panel it would’ve been nice to have at-least 90fps but the performance is more than enough for the average gamer or even hardcore like myself, you’re not losing out on much the A17 pro chip is more than powerful enough to run all the demanding titles at 60fps or 30 including triple A games.I’ve been able to run DaVinci Resolve’s tablet version, Adobe PDF and even iMovie ( which is came pre installed ) all without hiccups and I’m sure other editing apps can run without an issue on this iPad too. The battery life is also very good, on a full charge I was able to game intensely at max brightness for 3-4hr and still had 50-60% at the end to listen music and watch videos on YouTube.The charging speed isn’t even bad either in little under 2hrs it’s fully charged, which is fairly alright with me.I can confidently say it’s everything I ever needed in a tablet and more, it’s a powerful little beast that’ll certain serve me for the years to come, I’d consider it value for my money 1000% the best investment I’ve made it’s a no brainer.

I recently got a new role at my job that needs me to be more mobile and the iPad mini 7 is the perfect companion when it comes to meetings, presentations, or all around note taking. This thing also packs a punch with the new updated processor that allows me to use more heavy 3D modeling software with ease. The screen is the perfect size for both media consumption while also being able to fit into a pocket of a jacket. I used to have an iPad Air 4 and decided to downsize because I wanted something a little more portable and it was the best choice I made. For this price, you can’t beat the power this thing has for the sheer size in comes in. While battery life will not be as good as say the iPad Air, this still holds a great charge and will last me throughout my workday perfectly. I also bought the new generation apple pencil pro and these two paired together is the best note taking experience I’ve ever had. The functionality of pulling this out of your back pocket and being able to take notes on the spot is very helpful. The iPad Mini 7 is an excellent blend of power and portability, offering a unique combination of versatility and convenience. Its lightweight design makes it ideal for professionals on the go, while the performance capabilities ensure it can handle everything from multitasking to creative projects. At this price point, it stands out as an exceptional value for anyone seeking a powerful, portable device that doesn’t compromise on functionality.

The Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro, 128GB, Wi-Fi, Blue) is hands down the best ultra-portable tablet I’ve used. It fits perfectly in one hand, yet delivers a full-featured iPad experience with the power of Apple’s latest chip and a gorgeous 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display.I chose the Wi-Fi-only 128GB model, which hits the sweet spot for price and functionality. It’s been ideal for web browsing, streaming, and educational apps, making it a great value for focused, everyday use without the need for cellular connectivity.Performance is snappy, the all-day battery life is reliable, and Touch ID remains simple and secure. For anyone looking for a compact, high-performance tablet at a reasonable price, this is the one to beat. I’m thoroughly satisfied.

I love this thing. Such more convenient to take with me and works great to a second monitor at my desk at work.

Screen is small, So far so good. Setup was easy if you have another iPad just put the two together and follow on screen instructions. It fits perfectly in my purse. I play all my games on here when I’m at the Dr in the waiting room. Updated quicklyand everything works fine. Great price. Any problems I will update.

The only iPad which seems to be able to serve its purpose as an actual tablet, and not pushed as a laptop replacement. There are not many options in this size that have decent hardware and 5G capability, so I settled on this. It's a great multipurpose device: note taking, work meetings, GPS (car and motorcycle), very portable, portable gaming, etc. I use my laptop to do laptop things (the heavy lifting), and the tablet to do tablet things. I actually sold my 11" M1 Pro for this because it was so heavy and a pain to carry around with a laptop once you add the $300 Apple keyboard. The iPad mini is super light and so easy to carry around with a folio case.My only complaint like a lot of others is the screen. 60Hz LCD isn't great, but it IS decent for an LCD as far as brightness and colors go. This device should cost $100-$150 less with this screen. At least give us an 60Hz OLED for this price, especially for those of us using the device outside in direct sunlight.
