  • High price point

  • 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
