Actually if it is an i pad then my dad will pay cause he is an apple fanboy the only problem is its reselution is 4:3 i think it will be a problem
Any apple i pad mini users please help
I use my iPad mini to watch movies through Air Video and to browse and must say that it's the perfect size and weight for the purpose... The 4:3 screen is perfect for browsing and doesn't hamper me much while watching videos as the watchable area for movies is greater in the iPad mini than the Nexus 7...
P.S.: I have the iPad mini with non-retina display... Try to purchase the one with the retina display or the iPad air if you can... The air is not that much of an increase in weight but the huge size may be a problem for you... Try out both the tablets in all holding positions at a shop to get a perspective on which one is right for you...
