Star Rating: rating of 5

Duration of ownership: 6 days

Strengths: Great portable size, weight, construction and fast enough for all the , including games, that I use. Looks superb. Keyboard great to type on with thumbs.

Weaknesses: Some web pages text too small on opening - quick click to enlarge solves that. Loss of retina display - got used to that!

Overall Evaluation: Is this the iPad Apple should have made 1st? I've sold my iPad 3 and Kindle and replaced both with iPad mini 32GB. Much less bulk to carry around, same great functionality as iPad 3 concentrated in a smaller size. Shame there's no retina display, but maybe smaller form doesn't need this. I love it and can't see the need for the iPad at all now.
