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

Excellent Form Factor, design and build quality, Fantastic battery life, Very portable and practical
Lack of Retina display and lower resolution will be a deal breaker for some, Price higher than anticipated, Firstgeneration device, lots to improve on
