  Fast and compact tablet for on the go

  • Easy to carry, light weight
  • Bright and sharp Retina display
  • Apps open quickly
  • Bad photos in low light
  • Apple Pencil not included as standard

  Pad Mini 5 is a fast and small tablet that is great for on the go. It's just a shame that the cameras don't take good pictures in low light. In combination with Apple Pencil, I use this tablet as a multifunctional digital notebook.
  
  Nice design and light weight
  The device has a sleek design and looks exactly the same as the iPad (2020), only smaller. The tablet therefore fits easily in my relatively small hand. Thanks to the matte metal back, I have enough grip to hold the tablet well. The weight of iPad Mini 5 is comparable to that of a smaller cucumber. The device is therefore not heavy.
  
  Bright and sharp screen
  The 7.9-inch Retina screen is nice to look at. Images from movies, games and apps are sharp and clear. Thanks to TrueTone eyes color very naturally, even in a lot of ambient light. The tablet has large screen edges at the top and bottom. The more I use iPad Mini, the less I see those edges. I even like it, because it gives me a place to rest my thumb when I'm holding the tablet with one hand.
  
  Fast A12 processor
  The tablet has the same processor as my iPhone Xs. Unlike other iPad models, iPad Mini 5 runs on iOS. So I have the same experience as on my phone. Apps like Safari, Notes and Netflix open quickly. Opening games takes a little longer, but is not disturbing. Switching apps is smooth and without delays.
  
  Mediocre cameras
  The 8 megapixel camera on the back is a basic camera. There is no flash or other lens on it. I take reasonable pictures both indoors and outdoors in plenty of light. These are not professional photos, but more photos that you post on social media or forward to family and friends. The same applies to the 7 megapixel camera on the front. This camera is suitable for FaceTime and selfies.
  
  Handy accessory: Apple Pencil
  I've been wanting to get rid of notebooks for some time now. Thanks to the compatibility with Apple Pencil 1, this is possible with the iPad Mini 5. In the Notes app, I have plenty of options to choose different pens, colors and lines. In the beginning it took some getting used to, but now it seems like I'm writing on paper. Apple Pencil glides smoothly across the screen. The battery of the stylus is very rare, because I quickly charge it by connecting it to iPad Mini 5.

  • Nice
  • Easy to use
  • Handy together with keyboard

  Very handy together with cover including keyboard. I use this a lot on the road and still have all the possibilities as a laptop. Takes up little space, so it's easy to take with you. Screen size is ideal for me, not too big and not too small. Super.

  • Fast A12 CPU
  • Light and fast
  • nice screen
  • no lag
  • apple quality
  • Not cheap

  I like the iPad mini 5 just fine, I bought the X as an addition to my smartphone.
  Screen is not too big and not too small ideal for reading newspaper, ebooks.
  The speed is very good, last CPU everything runs smoothly as we are used to from Apple..
  Netflix also works fine, although I do that on my iPad pro 11 inch. The screen of the iPad mini is beautiful, partly because of truetone.

  Very refreshing to use a good iPad again

  • Easy to hold with one hand
  • Good Apple Pencil support
  • Good battery life

  After a lot of annoyances with an older second-generation iPad, this iPad mini is a huge relief.
  
  It is very small and compact, making it easy to hold with one hand. (Even fits in the back pocket of a wider pair of jeans!)
  
  I also deliberately did not choose a 4g variant, to be able to do this via the mobile hotspot of my phone. Perfect support is built in for this; in wifi settings my iPhone is directly at the top, ready to work with without extra clicks.
  
  It is fast and works well with the Apple Pencil, which is a nice addition (after a week we decided to buy it too)

  Good product for reasonable price

  • Good replacement for my previous iPad mini
  • The battery doesn't last as long as I expected. That was the reason for replacement

  Transferring all data from my old to my new IPad went perfectly. The battery of my old iPad mini could no longer be replaced, that was the reason for purchasing a new one. However, the battery lasts much shorter than expected

  Nice gadget

  • Beautiful color
  • Automatically synced with iphone on start
  • As always many unnecessary apps already installed
  • Like all Apple products, regularly needs to be charged

  I have a normal sized iPad from work, but personally prefer this mini. Easy to carry, yet large enough to do everything from banking and games to email and YouTube workouts. Installing is quick and easy, especially if you already have an iPhone or iPad

  As expected! Apple does what it always does and well.

  • Truetone screen, very nice. Good at movies
  • Quality you are used to from Apple

  Is my first iPad. Only a week in use. In-between size of the mini is nice. So in between smartphone and its big sister. Nice for longer use than such an iPhone.
