The Things You Should Know About The iPad Mini
If you’re one of the gadget fanatics who like things that
are portable and lightweight, then for sure you’re eyeing one of the
small-tablets on your favorite gadget store. There are three contenders to this
particular market – Amazon Kindle, Google Nexus 7 and Apple iPad Mini. However,
when it comes to popularity and branding, no other tablet is as popular as the
Apple iPad series. It’s no surprise that they will take the opportunity to
produce a smaller version of their iPad 2, just to satisfy the needs of their
ever loyal followers.
When you pick up the iPad Mini, the most striking
description you can give would definitely be light and small. That’s why Apple
called it Mini in the first place; you’ll really appreciate its size and the
best thing about it is that you can hold it comfortably using just one hand.
The color scheme for the iPad Mini is the same as the iPhone 5 like black and
slate or silver and white. All its buttons and ports are all standard from the
typical iPad tablet.
Although, Retina display is the name of the game for most
recent Apple mobile products, the mini can only muster a 1024x768 screen and
this is the same resolution as your ordinary iPad 2. However, the iPad Mini’s
screen has been shrunk to 7.9 inches – raising its pixel density to a
respectable 163 ppi. But you need to understand that the Retina display of
iPhone 5 is at 264ppi and this is a big difference that you can actually see –
Retina quality is really a big jump when it comes to screen resolution.

On the upside, the new iPad Mini has a new form factor
feature that makes typing on the mini a far enjoyable experience – making it ideal
for dual-thumb typing. This particular feature is relatively impossible with
larger iPads. It’s also the best reading tablet that can fit in any of your
usual gadget case. The processing power of the Mini is also acceptable, as it
runs on Dual-Core A5 Chip. This chip can also be found on iPad 2, so let’s just
say that the iPad Mini is the skinny jeans version of the iPad 2.
In my own opinion, buying an iPad Mini is not a bad idea but
you need to know your priorities first. If you’re planning to use your tablet
for gaming and some heavy applications then you better go with iPad 3 or better
yet iPhone 5. When you’re looking for a great reading tablet that can render
some games and apps from the iPad 2, then you should buy the Mini.
