  • I've had the iPad mini 6 since last Friday, and although I am still working on putting together a full review, I thought I would share the ways I've thought to use it as a college student! In this video, I give you a school-work oriented demo of the redesigned form-factor, working with the Apple pencil second generation as well which now charges on the side of iPad mini just like with iPad Pro and iPad Air 4!

    I used the iPad mini 1st gen throughout college and it was absolutely perfect. I used it for reading textbooks, blackboard website, heavy emailing, reading notes, a planner, and researching. Mind you this is before the iPhone 6 Plus even existed and before light and thin laptops were mainstream. I was using a clunky Lenovo that would like 3 minutes to load up so the mini was so helpful to always have around. Plus, the battery life was incredible. It would last like a week on a charge (for my use case) compared to my 3 hour laptop battery life.

I'm a busy analyst and always writing down notes in meetings to ensure I get the client the information they need so the notes with pencil can be really helpful. Also I very much enjoy video content on the go so this is the perfect little device. Another great thing about it is the ability to draw my kids photos with some downtime and send it to them.
    I'd like to note I really enjoyed your video as a first time watcher, you are true to your title by giving an honest perspective unlike most techtubers so I appreciate that. Like you said, it's not a perfect device, but in my opinion on the go, it's as perfect as it gets currently.

      EXACTLY! Some people need tech to learn their way. You can't specify a specific way to learn and expect everyone to follow. Imagine having to print out pages of a textbook too bring to class?! Everyone's up in arm's about banning plastic but people waste paper on extravagant levels like this. Plus this whole "Tech is bad" idea is holding everyone back. Tech is the future and limiting exposure to tech limits opportunities enormously. Tech is especially great for lectures, I could record a lecture while taking notes at the same time. If i don't understand a word I could look it up in an instant without missing any notes. I dare a college to tell me I spent so much money for tuition and I'm not allowed to use tech to enhance the way I learn. Makes me furious.

So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.

    I know teachers always suspect kids of playing games or watching videos on iPads in classrooms, but I got an IPad 8 late last year and it completely changed the way I did my college courses. Like the way I immediately cut down the amount of paper I used, and using an app everything was so neatly organized and I could find things quickly when studying instead of rifling thru pages. I wish I had one in High school, like thinking of my bulky binders and folders spilling with papers that easily could’ve been scanned or copied down with a stylus… the way my backpack wouldn’t have caused me severe back pain :( I was a class of 2020 senior so I literally got the iPad a year into college, and I’m so upset I didn’t switch earlier.

    I was tempted to buy the new Ipad Mini when Apple introduced it, but since I have an iPad Air 4, I thought there’s no reason to get one. UNTIL I came across this video and saw how practical having a Mini around. Now I’m 99% close to buying one! Thaks for this informative video and good luck on your studies! 😄

    The ipad mini looks great but I think for student the regular ipad is a much better choice. You get more screen at a cheaper price. Neither of them are really laptop replacements. This is a niche product to me.

      The iPad mini is exactly what it’s marketed as, which is a mini tablet, but it’s still a great option for students. It all depends on your preference though. Some people may want an iPad with a bigger screen when they’re taking notes, while others may like the ergonomics of the Mini. I do agree that iPads in general aren’t laptop replacements. My 2018 MacBook Pro had a known problem where the screen was glitching due to a loose switch and I tried to replace it with an iPad Pro, which was a big mistake. It was easy working with the iPad, but it was certain things I needed to do for my classes that I really needed a laptop for. I ended up caving and buying an M1 MacBook. I think for students, the iPads are good for note-taking and editing, but it’s a lot of capabilities that it lacks and a laptop will make up for that.

    I feel like I had to write this comment. To give some perspective I am a 61 year old college instructor, so I always love when students talk about how things "really are" as sometimes we don't know what we don't know. I also understand I have 2 eyes, 2 ears and 1 mouth, so sometimes I have to just be quiet and learn! This was very well done, and although I am not looking to get this for the exact uses that you are making from it, I would be upgrading from the iPad mini 4, and I don't really like the larger iPads. So, not wanting to waste money I always go to TH-cam and learn from others who had taken the time to work through these devices. I plan on using it primarily as something that will replace the laptop (temporarily) to do activities like read, email, notes (I hadn't considered the pencil at all, but you do have me thinking about it), and doing some on the road removing photos and videos off of my iPhone 13 Pro when traveling and doing some work in iMovie, etc. I think the screen real estate will be fine in this size.

    I love to see someone who is also using a larger iPad for more needy tasks. Was looking for this kind of perspective. There have been times where I’ve been using my MacBook just as an extra screen, and doing the more intensive task on my iPad Pro. This IPad Mini would totally function as an extra screen for researching or something of that nature. For most things, my IPad Pro can do 90-95% of what my mac could.

    Great pre-review. It was indeed fun to watch. Your views on the iPad Mini 2021 are indeed useful, and beyond just student endeavors. I'm considering getting an iPad for both in-house and mobile use, and this form factor and specs is very appealing. It would be nice to take this device to a business meeting and take notes, and be able to snap photos on-the-ground at a project site. Hopefully, there's an app that can combine the two, and be able to export to MS Word for reports or meeting minutes.

I orginally wanted a mini but bought an Air because I didn't want to wait for Apple to release the new mini. I'm super glad I traded my Air...saved about $360 on the new mini. Pretty sweet if you asked me.

    I'm passed my student's stage of life. I can't seem to realize how a student can concentrate on taking lecture notes and study on a gadget with so many distractions like YT, movies, music, etc. Then, I used different paper notebooks for different subjects and I still get easily distracted like doodling on my notepads. I guess it would depend on the individual. But if I were to go back in time I'd choose a gadget purely for note taking like Remarkable, Kindle paperwhite for reading, etc.

It’s really not as small as all these reviews make it seem, I personally cannot grab it with my hand it’s too big and it doesn’t fit in any of my pockets but maybe that’s just because I’m a girl and we have the smallest pockets😂

    I'm a university student too and I have to say that with the lockdown situation, sometimes last year, I used to work on my iPhone 12 mini to take notes.
    I had my class on Teams via my PC and for some of my subjects I literally have all the lectures of the semester on my iPhone, which is kind of lame when you have to prepare your exam at the end of the semester.
    Having an iPad mini with a pencil could literally change the game, even in class, when I don't have to spend two hours taking notes!
    Thanks for the review! 😁
