The iPad Mini costs too much
Especially considering the lower resolution of its 7.9-inch non-Retina Display. The A5 processor isn't as robust as the one in the fourth-gen iPad and iPhone 5. Typing on the smaller screen is not quite as comfy
Screen isn't as good as other Apple devices, A5 processor doesn't offer top end performance
The iPad Mini is a decent tablet that is almost affordable by Apple's standards, making it a good choice for anyone already comitted to the Apple ecosystem....
The iPad mini lets you run the best library of apps in the biz on a tablet you'll actually want to carry, but it's not the best small-screen tablet you can buy....
By all means, compare the tech specs and prices with those of the new wave of Android mini-tablets, and no doubt you’ll conclude that Apple has launched an overpriced and under-specced turkey. But make the effort to find an iPad Mini on display, pick ...
Beautiful build quality, Fantastic feel, Great screen, Great with video, Entertaining with music, Easy to use
Pricey, No expandable memory, Cable and cover accessories all add up
When it comes to Apple products, you're always going to be paying a premium over products that do a similar job. After all, the 16GB Mini costs £110 more than the equivalent Google Nexus 7.But then again, the Mini looks and feels the business, executes mu...
The iPad Mini is without doubt a product released in response to what the competition is doing and that has all the potential to create a less than great device. After all, breaking new ground is always something that pushes developers rather than reinven...
This probably sounds obvious, but the iPad mini really is mini. So much so that you can hold it with one hand. This is true of its seven inch rivals as well as the iPad mini, but it’s still worth bearing in mind: a 7.9-inch iPad is much smaller compared to a 9.7-inch iPad than it sounds in paper. Close to half the size, in fact.This, combined with Apple’s epic design, makes it a truly lustworthy
We could grumble at the lack of Retina Display: the iPad mini’s display packs in the same 1024x768 pixels as the original 2010 iPad, and purists will spot the extra grain and fuzz around the edge of text. But HD movies still look great, and the portability more than makes up for those rough edges and visible pixels. Your technophobic family certainly won’t spot them, they’ll be too busy playing A
The iPad mini’s a beautiful size, and a beautiful package the puts the production rivals of all its seven inch rivals to shame: Asus will really have to up its game for its Nexus 7 follow up.Is it expensive? Sure, and you’d have to be daft, or seriousl...
The new tablet from Apple is pretty irresistible, if you don't mind the price. But the convenience and the gadget's beauty beats all other small-screened tablets easily....
Ultrathin and light, Handles ebooks and iPad apps well, Camera, storage and optional 4G make for a full iPad experience
Over £100 more expensive than rivals, Lowresolution display, A5 processor isn't particularly quick
The iPad mini is a 7.9-inch version of Apple's popular iPad, and offers a polished tablet experience in a smaller package. It's too expensive however, and its display resolution doesn't measure up to competing tablets, or other iOS devices....

Like the iPad, but easier to handle, Beautifully built, Battery life is impressive
No Retina Display means a lack of detail, Expensive compared to the Nexus 7
verdict If the thought of dropping over £300 on a big iPad has stopped you from joining the Apple slab brigade so far, the iPad Mini should look very tempting right now. And if you've ever thought the iPad was just too big, or if you're the kind of person...
