This probably sounds obvious
But the iPad mini really is mini. So much so that you can hold it with one hand. This is true of its seven inch rivals as well as the iPad mini
But it’s still worth bearing in mind
A 7.9-inch iPad is much smaller compared to a 9.7-inch iPad than it sounds in paper. Close to half the size
In fact.This
Combined with Apple’s epic design
Makes it a truly lustworthy
Like the iPad

We could grumble at the lack of Retina Display
The iPad mini’s display packs in the same 1024x768 pixels as the original 2010 iPad
And purists will spot the extra grain and fuzz around the edge of text. But HD movies still look great
And the portability more than makes up for those rough edges and visible pixels. Your technophobic family certainly won’t spot them
They’ll be too busy playing A
No Retina Display means a lack of detail
Expensive compared to the Nexus 7
Ageing processor
Relatively low resolution screen
Not as good value as competing tablets
Lower screen resolution and CPU horsepower than we would expect

OK, then. Before we have our say on the iPad mini, we'll let the numbers talk. Three million tablets sold over the opening weekend easily beats the record set in March by the then new iPad. It's a combined figure of course for the two new slates - big and...
