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 absolutely love my iPad mini! It’s the perfect size for travel and daily use. The screen quality is crisp and vibrant, and the sound is surprisingly good for its size. I plug it up to my projector for movie nights, read on Kindle and stream without any connectivity issues. Having a phone plan with an unlimited hotspot is a winning combo! I have used this iPad for months and appreciate the ease of use and the functionality. For me, it has been a great compact value for the money I spent.

I got an iPad Mini to replace my Kindle Colorsoft for reading and it has been awesome. I was worried at first because I always enjoyed reading on an e-ink display and have used a Kindle since 2021. It did take me a week or so to adjust to the LCD screen on the iPad but now I don’t notice it at all and it is well worth the switch to me. I made a list of pros because I wanted to be sure the money I was spending on an iPad was worth it. Here’s my list broken into two parts – the first is specific to the iPad Mini and the second is based on the Kindle app vs reading on a Kindle device.
iPad Mini Pros -Font is crystal clear and sharp with no ghosting -Better auto-brightness (I never have to fiddle with the brightness!! I hated this on the Kindle!) -Auto-warmth (I set mine to sundown to sunrise) -Integrated Audible control (can control via the Control Panel or in the Kindle app, and can access Audible app) -Integrated music control (don’t have to pick up my phone every time I want to set/control background music) -Great for reading manga (images are clear and you can turn the iPad sideways to show 2 pages at once) -Maps are a lot easier to see and you can zoom in on them -Device is more responsive overall (faster page turning, faster highlighting, faster loading times) -The ability to access other apps (I use OneNote and Notes when I read, nice to have Goodreads app too) -Aluminum backing is comfortable, durable and easy to clean and there are fun color options -Very comfortable to hold in your hand and feels premium -The lock button is on the top rather than on the bottom of the device -More customization for lock screen and home screen (can incorporate character art, quotes, book covers, etc.) -All the additional built-in functionality of an iPad not related to reading
Kindle App Pros (these functions are not available on the Kindle devices) -Continuous scroll option -Page turn animations -You can customize the information that shows when you tap bottom left of page -You can show a reading progress bar on the lock screen (I prefer a progress bar to a percentage) -“Search in book” function (can highlight a word/name and search the book rather than using Search function) -“Search on web” function (helpful to me when there’s a word I want a visual of, such as a castle “crenulation”) -Can view your reading streaks and challenges
The things I miss from the Kindle is the always-on display that shows the cover of the book, the ability to import custom fonts, the ability to bold the font (idk why this isn’t a thing on the Kindle app), and the longer battery life.
The battery life on the iPad Mini is the only con I have, but it isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I read about 1-2 hours a day and can get 4-5 days out of the battery before I have to charge it if I’m only reading. If I use the iPad for other content like watching videos in addition to reading, I get 2-3 days of battery life. I don’t mind charging it because I have a charger always out and ready to go and it charges quickly so it doesn’t impact my experience much.
Overall, I’m glad I tried the iPad Mini and don’t plan on going back to a Kindle device. I’m hoping Apple continues to update the iPad Minis with features like the always-on display and OLED screens.

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.
