As I travel a lot fro my office work I was looking for a tablet to check out mail and read ebooks as it not convenient to read mails on phone and it always not cnvenneit to take laptop all the time so I decided to buy ipad mini there is no doubt about the quality of the product although I am not a big than of apple but this is a great piece of a gadget. The best part is the size and the battery backup I have updated ipad to ios 8 and now this tablet feels buttery smooth and it is fun to read on this tablet.
As it has retina display so reading ebooks on this is also easy as your eyes do not get strained All in this is great buy.
