IPad 2 or iPad Mini

[Danny133]

What would you plump for and why?

Normal iPad.

Unless you're poor

But seriously, I can't think of any reason to get the mini, especially as it doesnt have retina like the ipad 2.

iPad 2 doesn't have retina...

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Didn't I not just say that?!

 

[Jaff.]

Lol sort of. I read it as the mini doesn't have retina but the 2 did.

​ignore me I'm tired

PPI will be higher on the mini. So in effect the screen will be clearer than the regular sized one.

Pauper.

Just get an iPad 3

This would do you nicely imo no difference from the current gen apart from the port and slightly faster

I would wait until the mini has the retina display.

 

[Snakey]

iPad normal.

iPad Mini is nice, but feels a bit like a big iPhone 5 with a crap screen. iPad 2 has a screen from 1995.

Be a man and get iPad 4.

i have both the ipad 2 and the ipad mini..

dont ask.. work are charitable..

but my favourite by far is ipad mini! especially if i had to buy it too as its cheaper!! i gave the 2 straight to the mrs to abuse the ipad 2 feels huge bulky and awkward to hold in comparison where as i can comfortably hold the mini and its light.. the lack of retina screen isnt an issue, screen quality for video etc is good enough.. makes my iphone feel tiny and unpractical..

think tbh its exactly the right size to be big enough to type and work on but small and light enough to be portable.

in summary:

ipad 2

ipad mini

Guys the reason is business.

We had an iPad 2. It doesn't need to be a 4 as its used at events and gets battered and dirty. Not splashing £400 for that.

Always found it bit clunky and large to use for note taking and calender entries etc .. So figured that the mini would be a much better fit.

We have am event this week with an estimated 85000 people attending. I do not want to be fumbling on a big screen and struggling to type and hold crap at the same time.

Anyway sold iPad 2 for £200 and picking up iPad mink for £200 in a few hours. (Brand new)

 

[Danny133]

Mini arrived.

Defo should have bought one sooner!!

 

[rob_sri]

Perfect size and weight right? Class bit of kit!

The mini is great not as heavy or bulky as the main ipad.
