Expert Opinions
“Tablets are an incredibly versatile device, but we all have our go‑to use. If you, like me, use your iPad to read, you gotta go for the iPad mini. The other models, like the iPad Air, start at around 11 inches, which is a lot of screen when you just want to flip through your book.”

“If you’re new to the iPad, and you want the most compact one around (or any compact tablet), the new iPad mini 7 is the best choice.”
