iPad mini 6 - Perfect for Students?? 

I love the iPad Air 4 but I think the mini is great for taking to the hospital with me as a medical student, I can keep the mini in my lab coat pocket and take notes on the go but at the same time my own tiny traditional notebook with paper is working just as great lol and I take the iPad Air 4 with me to lectures anyways. I’ve been a big fan of the iPad Air since I got the iPad Air 2 which I gave to my dad now that I got the air 4 and he’s been using it for basic stuff like emails, RU-vid, etc.

Very thorough. As a doctoral student, I can see the value in a device of this size, power, and portability for my own research and daily use. Really enjoyed seeing all of the C.S. Lewis references, btw!

Welcome back and congrats on Senior year! I have this iPad mini in Starlight, and I love it. It's the perfect companion device and I find myself using it more than I thought I would!

I got the mini 4 for my final year of high school and I used it all the way until the end of uni. Best purchase ever. Kinda wish some more uni was ahead to justify a new one now 6 years later!

I’ve had the mini 6 for about 2 months now and love it. Can’t wait to use it alongside the possible new MacBook Air coming out this year.

Your review is really good. Better than others, points they did not make. Thank you. Really persuaded me in favor of this model.

Really loved this review. Honestly came back,searched and rewatched. Thanks!

I am watching this on my iPad mini currently and I love it

I love your iPad’s reviews!!!😍

I actually baught the iPad mini 6 last week and so far it’s amazing! Great vid!

How did you know, I was gonna research about plugging my headphones and you answered it on 3:29 to 3:36? AMAZING!!! Thank you man!

I am ipad mini users since the beginning, tried ipad pro, ipad air and the basic one, every time I go back to my ipad mini, just the size is perfect. For older ipad mini logitech used to sell keyboard case for ipad mini, I had one but sold it as never use it. nice video

Best review of the iPad Pro Mini you could find out there. Also, best university. Best large winter coat pocket. Best presenter. Thank you, CS Harris.

Well done! Welcome back.

It is true that the ipad mini is very helpful device for taking note. I have an i pad mini 5th genration, i used for almost 2 years and I take it where i go, classes, lab and even my agenda are there🤗 It seem cool ipad mini 6

Just wanted to acknowledge the books present throughout your video. Great selections!

You’re reviews are spot on. Thanks for this!

this is helpful for me since I am torn between the 12.9" and 11" and I said to myself maybe it's just a matter of relativity of sizes. We want what is optimum. What concerns me is maybe the 11" is small for me during multi-tasking/split-screen and then upon checking how it was on the mini, I can actually say that the 11" is indeed not too small.

Finally I’ve missed your videos!!!!!

I enjoyed this video! I appreciated the student perspective, as I am considering getting an iPad Mini to compliment my laptop for school. I appreciated the pros and cons, good to consider both. There were some pretty good shots that reminded me of a MKBHD video

I have an iPad Pro 11' and I use it as much as possible but the mini looks pretty good to carry around, especially if you're in school to take notes.

I have to choose between the iPad Air (used the have the first gen. iPad Air years ago) and the iPad mini 6th gen, as a replacement for our ipad mini 2nd gen. I think I would love the bigger screen when I am working on it f.ex. in split mode (but i don't know how often I would even use it to work on it as I usually use my macbook pro 2019 for work) but I love how small and LIGHT the ipad mini is. A very very hard decision... For now love the ipad Mini 2! Use it for reading in bed in the evening (love how light it is), for watching Netflix, Apple+ oder Disney+ in the train when I am out to my way to work and the kids use it for school and to play apps. Thank you for your great video and all the information about the mini!

this video was a great help. Thanks so much!

Definitely thinking about getting this cause I’m starting back school in the spring 😌

I was waiting for this video! I really value your reviews. Thanks.

im gonna be a college student next school year and i am wishing to have this for college! i like my old ipad mini coz of its portability. i know someone will say "if you want something to boost your productivity then the ipad mini is nit for you because you cant multitask well in that" but i think the thing about ipad mini is it was never meant for heavy productivity thru multitasking in the first place , and some might say it is more like a complimentary device. i really think it would be useful for my med school next year, manifesting one

Smart remarks and comments. Thanks for the review

Glowing as always. Love the hair and those eyes. And great video as every one before

Great video. Nice visuals.

You can get 7 inch bluetooth keyboard online. Yes they’re tiny but if you can adjust, it will work great on you classroom desk.

Welcome back ! Great video.

I'm not in school but work as a data warehouse developer. In that kind of job, you need a lot of scratch memory to juggle design elements and database layouts. So to augment my brain, I use the pen and notability to create documents. The big benefit is that you can go back and look at a document and refresh your memory from time to time. Anything bigger than the Mini would get in the way. At noon I use the device to check on social media and look at news and tech stuff (I have the 5G model.)

Great video! Somebody is a C.S Lewis fan 😉, love it !

Great video as always

Great video! Has your iPad any scratches?

Harris awesome video and awesome USB C hub which brand it is ?

Excellent review! Always great videos from you! You've given me a few things to think about. All the best in the New Year!!!

Nice job, I like the quality of the video

Nice video! But one thing - you said you can't put it in any pockets in the summer. Mine fits in my jeans back-pocket easily. I'm 6'2'" and have a medium waist...

That's a cool USB c hub! Do you have a link where to buy it? Thank you kindly.

I got the pink version, it’s so worth it.

Thanks for sharing your experience using the iPad mini. I have actually been waiting a while for this device to be released. Ultimately, the way I will use it is in conjunction with my iPad Pro 12.9", my iPhone 13 Pro Max, and my MacBook Pro 16". I definitely think the way to go is to get the cellular model, particularly with its portability, and doing reading, research, note-taking, photo editing, and many other things.

and what's your solution for not losing your pencil when all day you are using and changing storage places such as backpack, jacket pocket, classroom, etc.?

like your video! concise and informative!

Hey Harris, internet here... Great to see this video and the OTR video too! 💚

Ótimo conteúdo!! Estou pensando em trocar o iPad que tenho por ele e este vídeo me ajudou. Já me inscrevi também depois de ver o livro do C S Lewis🤗

Great video! What's up with the Mac Pro (cheese grater) in the background? Do you have a video on how you use that?

Because it pairs easily with Bluetooth keyboard and a mouse, that’s all I need; I’ve never gotten comfortable with Trackpads as I exclusively use a mouse for just about everything, the ePencils are for me are “just a nice εχtrα” and I’ll use a generic brand {though I did buy the 1st gen Apple Pencil for my iPad Pro}. Thanks again for your thorough review but I’m still not sure if the iPad M1 Air wouldn’t be more suitable for me.

*That bug* 🕷 on the top of the iPad at 1:31 really made my laugh hahaha

i will be getting the ipad mini as a student. I am a nursing student and work in a nursing home besides collage, so i need to study on the go and a laptop is a little big to study with on the bus all the time or just so take a quick note on. So for me it would be a on the go study device. I love my macbook air but i just need something smaller on the go. Inspecally since i swich between busses all the time to get to work or school. Like think of this situation, I get out of class with my macbook in my bag, go to buss nmb 1 and need to pick it out, fould it up, log in and then i can read or search for what ever i need but after 6 min i need to pack it back in to my backpack and get to the next buss where the same dilemma starts again. I need 2 min out of those 6 just to unfold and defold a laptop wehre when i had a ipad mini i could just pick it out of the bag and get started reading or looking up the fact i need to know. So in lectures and at home i use my macbook air but on the go i use my ipad mini. I think it would be a perfect combination.

I’m sad he did not link the case in the description I really liked it :(

I have the 11 inch pro M1, but find Kindles best for reading. So I’m considering the mini as a kindle replacement. It may or may not be useful with MarginNote, for serious study but think I will still prefer it to a Kindle. Great to see Herodotus and CS Lewis are still in the university just as they were when I encountered them in the early 60s!

I have a 9.7 Ipad from 2018 for school. I don’t like the colors of the Ipad Air. Do you think a Ipad mini would work for me? Just for taking notes?

i have the mini 6 as i just got it for Christmas and i’m thinking of using it at school as an 8th grader or maybe next year as a 9th grader. do you have any tips?

after i watch your review, i think imma gonna buy this one set of ipad mini and the pencil although im no longer student! 😂

eek. a literal bug @ 1:32! did you see it? Great review!

Harris, great Video.....I have got to know and I hope it was from Amazon, the C-Port dock that you are using.... what exactly is it so that I can check it out? Thanks in advance!

Thanks brother.

I saw you have the Keys to Go. That is - in my opinion - the best possible option. You say "the keyboard isn't convenient". That is a heavy statement. Honestly - I love keeping the extremely thin and light Keys2Go in my backpack - it's like it is not even there. But when you do want to type longer things, then just whip it out, and off you go.

From half of the B-roll material it is obvious that the font is far too small to read without heavily squinting. It seems to have some major scaling issues in the OS?

Very nice do you use a screen protector on your iPad to make the screen feel more like paper or do you use the glass and penn to write?

1:30 The little bug crawling on the iPad😂

what note taking app do you use and would you recommend :) thanks!

i dont think i would ever need a keyboard for it because I have a MacBook so I think the mini is just right for me.

When we most needed him, he came back 💪

Obrigado, por esse vídeo! ❤

i have the ipad pro 12.9 from 2018 and it feels too big. i already had a macbook and i love my ipad as a not taking but sometimes is hard and can be overwhelming i have been thinking of going for a mini but again, it is a little expensive

What is the note-taking app that you were using in the video?

The fact you have a shelf all apple products boxes 🤯🤯

I'm curious about the other great libraries that are complementary that you mentioned

Hey! Would turning on the night-shift mode (to give warmer tones to the screen) be similar to eink properties mention at 2:42 ? Ive never experience a device with eink properties so I was wondering..

This is the only video ive found that actually talks about things that are useful

Is the screen too small for students ? For example for making e notes and attending zoom calls (just the basic student, not talking about those who do editing etc)

What’s that difference between iPad mini and iPad Pro 4th gen?

I’m just wanting the iPad mini to stream shows, take notes for Work/School & sketch a whole bunch on Procreate. For those tasks, would the 64GB be fine if I have 2TB of iCloud?

Can you do ipad Tour on the app so we can see them

I feel like the iPad Mini is perfect for high school students If you don’t want to give your kid a phone (my parents didn’t), an iPad Mini is an amazing all-in-one device, for a single-installment purchase with a fairly inexpensive price as smart devices go. I loved my iPad Mini 2 at that time, had a phone number on it through an app that gave like 5 free phone calls a day and unlimited texting (Google Voice didn’t exist), I could contact anyone same as a phone so long as I was on wifi, which I almost always was. And it was also an incredible device for entertainment and decent for schoolwork. But today? I’ve got an iPhone XR, an iPad Air (2022), and fond memories of my old iPad Mini which had my favorite onscreen keyboard ever. That onscreen keyboard is not a good enough reason to spend $400 on an iPad Mini, every other thing I do is just as good or better on a 6-inch slab or an 11-inch slab than it would be on an 8-inch slab. The iPad Mini is the compromise, it’s the “good enough at everything” device if you can only pick one, it can be used as a phone (albeit a green bubble) but it’s not optimized for being a phone, and it’s not optimized for being a tablet either. Only thing it really has going for it if you’ve already got a real phone is that it’s more comfortable to hold and possible to pocket compared to a bigger iPad, but - if I’m drawing I want a bigger screen - if I’m consuming content I want a bigger screen - if I’m doing basically anything where I’m not needing to type extensively on the onscreen keyboard I want a bigger screen - if I’m taking notes or writing a paper I want a magnetic keyboard And that’s, about 95% of what I do with my iPad. Once in a while I’ll play a game on it, and most games don’t work comfortably with touch controls on a screen this big, so I suppose I’d probably get better gaming out of an iPad Mini than I would out of my XR or my Air. But if I’m at home I’d rather, play an *actual* game on my PC or my Switch instead of the latest money-grubbing scam that sucks unless you spend $500.

Nice presentation. The size of the mini makes it very attractive replacement for my Pro, which is large heavy but has good screen real estate. My Pro has taken abuse in my over cramped bag, thus why I want to make a move. I mostly use my Pro for Notability, movies and internet, but I still do not know if the mini would be a good replacement or practical for notetaking especially for multi-taking. Thoughts anyone?

Bro i just got my ipad for igcse exam and idk whats better notability or good notes and tbh there are features in both of them that i really want and sont consider the voice recording cuz i dont need it

not sure whether im focusing on the ipad mini review or your voice... super soothing 😭

i want one to do my tesis cuz i dont want to spend a lot of money for a laptop, should a buy this device for it?

Well done

what do u think guys, i already have macbook pro and i'm law student which means i usually using mac for typing, should i choose ipad mini 6 or ipad air 4 for note taking and reading journals? thankuu

You’re in Boston? I live right next to Boston! I live in Chelsea!

1.30 a little bug crawling on the iPad had me wiping my screen lol ok back to the video. Edit he's back again at 5.51 lol

Can you edit a Hollywood production on the mini 6 as well?

Is ipad mini 6 storage is enough for medical student for whole course of mbbs?

1:30 You didn't tell us you had a pet ;) 5:45 Here he is again lol.

will have hard debate if i have a son going to university now. I think that if battery life is not major concern, then the Surface Pro is probably best choice for just school and stuff. Back in my time, i really jealous of mac users able to login to unix natively though. But i suspect modern windows solved that? No idea. I think the surface plus a 11 inch ipad pro would be perfect together. If i just want mac, mmm... probably don't want to carry the laptop around. But the ipad size is a big debate. 12.9 is heavy and battery life not perfect. But it is most versatile and comfortable for watching stuff. 11 inch is lighter and seems to have longest battery life. But limited to do multi window viewing. Ipad mini is fun, but no keyboard and battery life is worst. I traded in my mini 5. Got it after my 12.9. Loved it but used it least and when really try to use it, there is not enough ram. I always fantasized reading on it when i see them sold at bookstores.

I had the mini 5 but I didn’t use it like I thought I would. But I traded it in for this and I can’t put it down, I’m using is a lot more than my pro 🤷‍♀️

I like to do split screen for ebooks and notability. I have an iPad 8 gen and can’t decide if I should go iPad Air 4 or mini 😫 I think a small iPad wouldn’t be big enough for my multitasking.

Wish Apple would make ipad with plastic, carbon type chassis at reduced weight with no camera at a lower price for readers.

I’m thinking to buy the IPad mini as my main note taking device for university with my MacBook to display any sort of documents but I still hesitate to get the IPad Air instead . I just love the small form factor but I don’t know if the screen will be big enough for note taking (in pair with a laptop but taking note on the iPad). Which iPad do you think I should choose?

Just for your information,the apple pencils price is ₹11,900 while Logitech crayon’s price in ₹13,140 which is more expensive than the Apple Pencil,so just go for the original for better price.

Where do I get the logi keys??!

Is it pocketable?

Would this be a good recommended for nursing school I’m about to start lpn classes and currently don’t have a laptop so seeking options

In watching on iPad mini 6

Good video

I think a mini for on the go plus a 12.9in for working at home would be perfect for me. But since I don’t have the money for that, I went with the middle ground of 11in pro.😅
