But in multi core, the M2’s score is better & if you want a bigger screen, then you should definitely look at it. If you want a portable tablet, then you must look at the iPad mini. I’m extremely happy that Apple has still brought the iPad mini in a powerful tablet format in the mini space. I’ve told you what I think about the iPad space, now I’ll tell you what I think about the iPad mini.

But first, let’s open the box. If I talk about the form factor & in hand feel, it’s exactly the same. If I compare it with the first iPad mini launched in 2021, then it’s exactly the same. There’s no difference in the size of the display. But in the box, you get the iPad mini. Then you get stickers. No, it’s a documentation.

You have some, I don’t know, nobody reads it. It’s good to see that you get an adapter in the Apple device box. It’s a 20W adapter, so that’s good. And it’s USB Type C, that’s nice. And you get a braided cable, USB Type C to Type C. There’s nothing else, let’s keep this aside. Let’s look at the iPad mini. I don’t want to tear this, so I’m going to open it without tearing.

Nice! There are more pastel muted colours. This is kind of a blue colour, look at that. There’s an iPad mini branding at the bottom, nice. In terms of weight, it looks like a tablet, but I’ll go wrong. It’s 325g, let’s see. It’s below 294.2g, not bad at all. Generally, tablets are around 500-500g. But this is less than 300g, so it’s very lightweight.

In terms of ports & buttons, you get USB Type C. And on the top, you get volume rockers. And on the top, you get a touch ID. And obviously, it’s power on off. If I talk about the display, it’s an 8.3” 60Hz 2K resolution with 500 nits brightness. So it’s 60Hz, it’s not 120Hz & it’s an IPS LCD. Obviously, the quality is unmatched even if it’s an IPS LCD.

Because now you get Apple Intelligence in it. So if you want to use Apple Intelligence on a big screen, then you can do it. So that’s nice, there’s 8GB RAM & 128GB storage. If I talk about the battery, it remains the same. It has a 19.33Wh battery, which is around 5100mAh. And because it’s 3nm, it’s pretty power efficient.

USB supports 10Gbps data transfer, so that’s also good. And an important thing is that they’ve increased the RAM & storage as well. It supports Apple Intelligence. So you’ll get the Apple Intelligence features as they get released. This is a device that you’ll be using for 4-5 years. So obviously, the Apple Intelligence AI features will be there & you can enjoy it on this form factor.
