I've previously owned two earlier generation iPads and an iPad Mini. They were all great, but the iPad Air 2 is the best so far. It's fast, light and has a great display. A multitude of top-notch apps that work gloriously on this tablet make it the best tablet under $1000.

This is the sweet spot for me - Apple iPad in a smaller size and retina display is perfect for my photography business.

I have been waiting for this latest generation of the iPad mini with the Retina Display to be released, and now it is here! Honestly, it is just so perfect for me. I am thrilled about the display, speed, and form-factor. I can take this around with me to meetings, trips, and replace all my existing notebooks and paperwork that I used to lug around with me all the time. The battery life has been excellent so far, and I really do appreciate the iPad-optimized apps that are available on the App Store! Definitely would give this product 5 stars!

As a compliment to my laptop and iphone, this tablet is not only light and easy to handle for things such as retrieving e-mail and web-browsing, the retina display is much improved addition to the previous model. An improved camera takes vivid pictures providing sharpness as well as clarity when using it to watch movies/tv shows while on trips as well as taking pictures of my grandson. In my opinion the little bit more you are paying for the new mini compared to other tablets is worth it

Got an iPad Mini for Christmas and have not gone one day where I don't pick it up. I use it for music, videos, games, and as an E-reader. I would highly recommend the Mini as it's lightweight and a perfect size. Still great even though the screen ain't retina. Great battery life too.

This is a great tablet despite what all the nay sayers complain about the screen not being a retina display. I had a generation 1 iPad and also a samsung galaxy tab 2 7 inch. The galaxy is nice, but the ipad mini has an easier to view screen and the overall feel of the tablet is super slim and light. The Ipad mini is just the right size to view movies, read and I love using the eye fi app to download photos directly to my ipad from my dslr. It would be nice to have the retina display, but honestly, the display is so sharp now that its a non issue for me.

Love the Ipad mini. For my husband & myself, it is the perfect size. We skype with out of state family. I use it as an e-reader. Just love it. Only drawback, is that it draws so much power to recharge it cannot be charged via the computer, so you must plug it in to an outlet, but no big deal.

Loved that I didn't have to repay for apps, but makes me wonder if I should have gotten the Kindle Fire with a better display and a better price tag.

Just like the Ipad, the Ipad mini is awesome but in a smaller and easier to hold version. Price is reasonable and its great for gaming.
