Ipad Mini or Mini Retina?

Vita · 9 Jan 2014 at 09:24

I'm wanting to purchase a ipad for my other half. She will use it primarily for games, FaceTime, web-surfing and Facebook.

Would I be better getting the mini, or mini with retina? She's not bothered about performance. Anything is better then her crappy android phone.

Opinions?

Well, I don't mind buying one second hand. This is why I've also been looking at the nexus 7. I thought with the FaceTime application on the iPad it's more easier then having to open up Skype for her.

How about the Air?

I had a look at the Air, but the Mini seems to hit the boxes right.

Same here. I prefer the size of the mini as well, fits in my pockets.

Since my bonus is coming through, i'm going to JL tomorrow to purchase one, if it's in stock that is..

I'm still in two minds. It'll really be used for games, video calling, web browsing. I'm on a little bit of a budget also and feel the iPad as good as it is, I can't justify the cost. I'm going to have to have a proper play with it.

I might just opt to buy a nexus 7 for her as I feel it's worth the money for what it is.

Still unsure, does anyone have both?

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'll go for the iPad Mini Retina. The best deal I found was £300 for the 16GB which should be enough.
