I thought about air, but just went with prev model mini. I liked the smaller size for some reason

The iPad mini (especially the new one, the retina one) is QUITE a little tablet. Love that thing.

I just bought a refurbished ipad 3. Loving it. Typing this on it right now.

Use it for lots of stuff, and it's a GREAT way to hold PDF files of anything I think I might want to have on hand, but not necessarily have a file for (user manuals to electronics, take pictures of receipts and proofs of purchase, warranty stuff, etc.)

I moderated this forum 99% using my iPad mini. Love it! Perfect size for every application.

I've been wanting to upgrade my playbook and the Ipad is on my list. Any selling point for you going this way? And netflix is the best 7 bucks a month I've ever spent, especially if u have kids.

I've had an iPad 2 since the day it was released. Haven't cracked my laptop since. Love this thing!

Good luck with it.

I bought my playbook a few years ago without doing any research at all and regretted it pretty soon. The ipad seems to get a lot of good reviews. Kinda glad you made this thread

Agreed plus with a little googling you can change between American, Canadian and uk netflix for different selections.

I have a 2nd gen iPad that I use for netflix and cardio, it stays downstairs on my elyptical. I won a mini at a Christmas party last year that I have upstairs and I use for pretty much everything.

**Cass40** · 04-17-2014, 10:17 PM

I love my iPad mini that got for Christmas.
I watched netflix at work all the time. It's so small that you can hide it easily.
When I went to Europe for six months, I had it with me the whole time. Most coffee shops and restaurants in Europe have free wifi.
It's easy to carry cause it fits even in the smallest purse, and it's light!
I use it for pretty much everything now.

**GreenWave1** · 04-18-2014, 06:22 AM

Tablets are great. I second the netflix thing. streaming is fantastic.

**Brackneyc** · 04-18-2014, 06:55 AM

I like my Ipad (first gen), but still prefer the laptop for most things.

Just make sure you keep up on the updated dns #'s. We're in Canada and had the US netlifx for ages but then started running into all sorts of computer crashing problems, the kids wii not connecting to netflix anymore. As soon as I restored our dns the problem went away. Frustrating cuz the US netflix is way better than the Canadian one.

Ya it's a pain when they don't work but I can usually find new ones pretty quick

I did a quick search and it's easier to find numbers for the US than it is the other way around

To be honest I've had both and Canadian netflix kind of sucks compared to the US one. You have a lot more options anyway.

**Cass40** · 04-18-2014, 12:07 PM

European Netflix also sucked in comparison.

I guess I've kind of ran through most of the US stuff and was hoping for different content, maybe French stuff too?
My kids really like the extra content when we visit family in Canada and the UK.

**vakrka** · 04-18-2014, 02:35 PM

Now go get a Google Chrome cast and you can send what is on your I pad to your TV

I have a galaxy note 10
wife has I pad
3 kids have kindles
all can do pretty much the same stuff. So i suggest you get what matches you phone
