High price point
Are all things we can live with
Without regretting the purchase
That's why this is a very solid slate. The iPad Mini Retina gets from us a 9.6 out of 10 for design
A 9.7 for hardware and a 9.5 out of 10 for OS and UI. The final grade is a 9.6 out of 10
IOS 7 is still a little rough around the edges on this and every iPad
Air gap between glass and LCD keeps screen from being as good as it could be
Features like Touch ID will have to wait until next year at the earliest
Scattered reports indicate that
Some other great performing tablets cost less
Harder to use one handed than smaller
7inch tablets
Android and Amazon tablets -- and even Windows laptops -- are available for less. Base model includes only 16GB of non-expandable storage. It's missing the Touch ID fingerprint sensor and split-screen feature found on newer iPads
Lacks Touch ID
Colors not as saturated as on iPad Air
Pricier than most small tablets
Needs more system RAM
So-so camera performance
Very pricey for the segment
No Touch ID fingerprint sensor
Not the latest Apple tech. Not as easy to hold with a single hand as narrower small-screen tablets
Camera not as good as on iPhones
No Touch ID fingerprint detector
Like on previous-gen iPads
Is glare-prone
Thin-sounding audio
Less-than-ideal speaker positioning
Expensive even for basic version
Can't expand on storage
Not the latest Apple tech. Not as easy to hold with a single hand as narrower smallscreen tablets
Expensive
Priceysimilar sized and specced tablets go for closer to $200. Stereo speakers both located on one end of the device. Would be nice if it had better networking capabilities
New 326 PPI Retina display matches past iPads in resolution but falls noticeably short in color performance
Some screens also have image retention issues. Larger battery adds slightly to thickness and weight of original iPad mini. A7 processor speed matc
Speaker placement isn't the best
iOS 7 is in need of further tablet optimization
Moderately expensive
Just big enough to not fit in some jacket pockets
IOS 7 has problems
Expensive for a small tablet
I miss the black color
Display is slightly less bright than the iPad Air. Colors look washed out when compared to iPad Air and iPhone 5s/5c
Especially for storage upgrades and the cellular model. Display color gamut is lacking.

Abstract: Two top dog 8" tablets that sell for $399. The choice is easy if you're an Android or iOS fan, but if you're OS agnostic, deciding between the iPad mini with Retina display and the new Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 can be challenging...
Compact, lightweight design, Brilliant, sharp display with high pixel density, Strong battery life
Display, like on previous-gen iPads, is glare-prone, Thin-sounding audio, Less-than-ideal speaker positioning
Like a sized-down iPad Air, the Retina iPad Mini gives Apple an equally strong contender in compact tablets, marrying a terrific display with close-to-perfect aesthetics. Though pricey for the size, it's one of the best small tablets you can buy. ...

Beautifully crisp and responsive screen, Impressive performance, Still comfortably slim and light
Expensive
The new iPad Mini with Retina display is a serious step up from the original tablet. The vastly improved screen and welcome boost in performance make it a more enjoyable affair than the original iPad Mini, and that slim and light frame is still a joy to c...
Stunning display, Solid performance, Long battery life
No Touch ID, Relatively expensive
The iPad mini matches the full-sized iPad Air in display quality, design and performance. Just be prepared to pay more than you would have for last year's model....
Abstract: The $399 iPad mini (16 GB Wi-Fi) with Retina display is over $100 more expensive than the 16GB Nexus 7. It's also $100 more expensive than the original iPad mini model (without Retina display), costs exactly the same as a 16GB iPad 2, and is only $100 che...
Sleek, compact design, Fast A7 chip is up to the task of gaming, iOS 7, if you like the new interface, Same long battery life as before, Robust app ecosystem, Nice Retina display
Needs more system RAM, So-so camera performance, Very pricey for the segment, No Touch ID fingerprint sensor
From a design standpoint, there's really nothing to see here that wasn't seen already in the initial version of the iPad mini, but the overall package is far more compelling. The form factor suits those who are only interested in smaller tablets that can...

As someone who has uses the iPad mini with Retina Display alongside the iPad Air since their release there's not many more observations I can make as to the specifics of the smaller iPad mini. The differences in my view rest solely on size and how that af...
The Apple iPad mini with Retina Display is perhaps the best small tablet money can buy at the moment, and it shows in the $399 basic price. It has an extremely high resolution display, premium design, blazing 64-bit chipset, very long battery life, and...
Excellent display quality, Lightweight, Fast 64bit Apple A7 processor
Expensive even for basic version, Can't expand on storage
The Apple iPad mini with Retina display is easy to carry around, it looks great, and it offers much faster performance than its predecessor, a necessity for running iOS 7 well. The biggest issue TPCR is confronted with is the price for storage, because m...
