With the array of new iPads in Apple’s collection, choosing the right model can be daunting. Thankfully, we’ve tested each one to assist you in making a choice. For those seeking a compact and portable Apple tablet for reading, streaming, or browsing while on the move, the seventh-generation iPad mini is the perfect option.

As of Aug. 14, the Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro, 128GB, WiFi) is offered at $399 at both Amazon and Best Buy. This represents a $100 (or 20%) reduction from its usual price, and it’s only $20 more than its lowest-ever Prime Day deal.

The newest iPad mini comes with several expected enhancements, which are still valued. The seventh-generation variant is equipped with an A17 Pro chip, increased RAM, Apple Intelligence compatibility, and starts at 128GB of storage. If you’re used to a standard-sized iPad, you’ll find it surprisingly lightweight and manageable. It weighs just over half a pound and is 8.3 inches long, making it slightly bigger than a Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. Moreover, it features an anti-reflective coating for reading in any lighting conditions, making it our top recommendation for an iPad that can also serve as an e-reader.

According to Mashable’s reviewer Stan Schroeder, “If you’re new to the iPad, and you want the most compact one available (or any compact tablet), the new iPad mini 7 is the best choice.” To save money, think about buying it while it’s available for just $399.
