Apple iPad mini 2 review: Moving up the ranks

22 November 2013
The iPad mini with Retina screen is everything the little tablet deserved to be – a more compact equal of the bigger iPad with no compromises made. And unfortunately, it’s just one thing short of what we all thought a compact tablet should be – cheap...

                    i don't understand the people who infinitely emphasising on how overpriced ipad is, it is overpriced, but it's not like it'll make you broke for the coming 50 years if you bought one. LOL.

                      Coming close to three months since I got the iPad mini, and loving it for games, video and books and magazines,
                      For those who complain about breakages, then get a case. There are thousands out there, and you can get cheaper equivalents of the official one. I've got one that does everything the official case does and provides adequate protection.
                      It's replaced my Kindle as e-reader due to the variety of apps available.

                          I would suggest stay away from any of the new products from apple.If you drop it by accident, the screen will shatter like common house glass, and do not attempt to take it back you will walk away even more disappointed and more angry. Ask me done that got the t-shurt

                              AnonD-215278, 15 Dec 2013I still don't understand why people buy iPad's. Yes, Apple ... moreI suppose people who shop at Walmart will never understand why other people pay more for quality and design.

                              But the iPad also has 4x3 screen ratio, which for a tablet is way more usable than the 16x10 Android screens.

                              The iPad is still the best tablet, both in terms of UI and design.

Please continue using Apple maps. And what is this obsessive compulsive fascination with maps & GPS that I see from lots of comments all over the internet?

                                      GG, 09 Dec 2013GG tablet.. dual core but the benchmark score say the point... moreActually in benchmarks the quad core snapdragons and tegra's out perform all the A series chips.
                                      http://tabshowdown.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/apple-a7-vs-nvidia-tegra-4.html
                                      Admittedly the single core performance is slightly better in some benchmarks but with multithreaded apps and games I think I would rather a quad core tegra or snapdragon.

                                        I still don't understand why people buy iPad's. Yes, Apple make quality products, I own a still working iPod touch 2nd gen but they are really overpriced. I'll give an example here (prices are GBP from Amazon UK):
                                        Class 10 MicroSDHC 32GB - £17.12
                                        Class 10 MicroSDHC 64GB - £38.33
                                        (these are from Apple Store UK)
                                        iPad Air 32GB (WiFi only) - £479
                                        iPad Air 64GB (WiFi only) - £559

                                        Why such a big price increase? The MicroSD cards are SanDisk and production memory is cheaper than retail memory. Why a nearly £100 difference for only double storage?

                                        Simple solution, get a decent android tablet (not a nexus) and stick a 32/64/128GB SD in it (depends on how much it supports). More storage for cheaper and a opensource OS. I'm not even going into the fact than even the cheaper nexus devices have 802.11G,N,AC MIMO rather than just "G,N" (im not sure about 802.11B support but hardly any wifi hotspot outputs 802.11B)
