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, UA-cam, etc.
Im thinking about the same. I will start my last year in med school next year and i think it would be beneficial for me to go for a smaller ipad to carry around. Would you recommend going for the LTE version?
Hello , I'm presently in my second year of medicine course. Would you recommend ipad mini or air . I'm bit confused. Waiting for your suggestion.
@@thomasNA67890 on my second year we didn’t have any clinical subjects so for that the air is better in my opinion since it has bigger screen for note taking.
Is ipad mini 6 storage is enough for medical student ?
@@poojithapoojitha2930 there is 64 and 256 gb version. I Think 64 is not enough for a med student if you are planning on using it for years
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!
Appreciate the perspective!
The cost of printing all the readings for my dissertation make mini a rather economical option lmao…😄
Reading alll these books on a laptop is a headache but on paper itd be hundreds of dollars so its definitely worth it
Really loved this review. Honestly came back,searched and rewatched. Thanks!
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!
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!
Same here, have always wanted the iPad mini, what kept me from buying it in the past was the poor tech, but apple outdid themselves with this one, really powerful device and really portable.
Thank you! Great to hear from you
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.
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!
Well done! Welcome back.
I am watching this on my iPad mini currently and I love it
Omg sameww
Finally I’ve missed your videos!!!!!
Just wanted to acknowledge the books present throughout your video. Great selections!
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
this video was a great help. Thanks so much!
You’re reviews are spot on. Thanks for this!
Thank you!!
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
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.
Merci Marie. Hope CS Lewis would be proud!
Smart remarks and comments. Thanks for the review
I was waiting for this video! I really value your reviews. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Nice visuals.
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.
The M series 12.9" has a Mini-LED screen instead of LCD
Trust me 11 inches one is not small at all, it’s kinda huge . With the case on I find it hard to use with 2 hands and impossible with 1 hand.
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.
Did you get the mini6? I also have an ipad pro 11” and it’s heavy to carry for work sometimes..my work requires taking notes all the time I’m thinking to buy mini 6
@@celline.t Yes, I got the mini 6. It is so compact and easy to carry. I bought the paperlike screen protector and it's like having a miniture iPad Pro. They should have called it iPad Pro Mini since you can use the pencil for everything. It's easy to take notes and I use it more than my iPad Pro surprisingly.
Welcome back ! Great video.
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
Hey!! did you end up getting it?
@@camilagrandiosa hi! No I didn’t. I did some more research and I think I’m gonna go with the new iPad Air. It has a better battery, a better processor for better performance, and a little bit more screen room for writing
@@caitlinmoyer5663 yes the air m1 seems really good but it’s out of my budget. i want to get the mini bc i already have a laptop that i do almost al everything with, and i want the mini for note taking and the size seems very convenient
@@camilagrandiosa the size of the iPad mini seems really convenient, easy to put in a purse or a backpack. If you’re using it just for note taking then it should work perfectly. I’m just the type of person that looks for the best specs (took me 3 months to find a laptop I liked)
@@caitlinmoyer5663 yes specs are definitely important! In this case I really prefer a smaller size bc the laptop on its own can get pretty heavy on my backpack, and an iPad Air would add to that. also I don't think I really need two big screens. tysm for your answer! really appreciate it, I am very indecisive
Definitely thinking about getting this cause I’m starting back school in the spring 😌
Trust me, the Ipad mini is very small and hard to use
@@williamt6102 better buy 3 ipads,
I use ipad mini for ward rounds and duty work
For making serious notes I use my ipad air 4 during college houurs
For media consumptions,video editing and content creation,photoshop I use my ipad pro..
SOUNDS a bit costly but still worth it
Excellent review! Always great videos from you! You've given me a few things to think about. All the best in the New Year!!!
Glowing as always. Love the hair and those eyes. And great video as every one before
like your video! concise and informative!
Thank you!
Harris awesome video and awesome USB C hub which brand it is ?
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.?
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
Hello I have the mini 6 I’m a bit late but I love it I do and instead of carrying 100 notebooks I use my I pad I love it ! I do carry one notebook but that’s because we still turn in paper notes I do hope you got your I pad I hope you love it ! I love it because it’s not so heavy and fits practically anywhere !
Hey Harris, internet here... Great to see this video and the OTR video too! 💚
Thanks Joey!
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...
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 !
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!
which one did u go with?
Great video! What's up with the Mac Pro (cheese grater) in the background? Do you have a video on how you use that?
*That bug* 🕷 on the top of the iPad at 1:31 really made my laugh hahaha
Great video! Has your iPad any scratches?
I got the pink version, it’s so worth it.
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🤗
That's a cool USB c hub! Do you have a link where to buy it? Thank you kindly.
Great video as always
Thanks again!
1:30 The little bug crawling on the iPad😂
He just wanted some air time!
I’m sad he did not link the case in the description I really liked it :(
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.
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?
Nice job, I like the quality of the video
Thank you, appreciate it!
Thanks brother.
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?
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.
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
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.
What keyboard
When we most needed him, he came back 💪
🙌🏻
Obrigado, por esse vídeo! ❤
What is the note-taking app that you were using in the video?
This is the only video ive found that actually talks about things that are useful
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
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?
eek. a literal bug @ 1:32! did you see it? Great review!
after i watch your review, i think imma gonna buy this one set of ipad mini and the pencil although im no longer student! 😂
what note taking app do you use and would you recommend :) thanks!
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.
Awesome. Appreciate the comment! Thanks for watching
Wow, could you be any richer ? hahaha
Is that going to be *enough* devices though?
Can you do ipad Tour on the app so we can see them
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!
Why not just get an actual Kindle then?
@@MsVamPireChic We love consuming.
@@Ryukomytoy More power to them if they can afford it, I guess, but if I was looking to buy a tablet for reading, I would get the one actually optimized for reading and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. 😂
@@MsVamPireChic I'm also considering getting a kindle but I've read that they're not that good when it comes to academic reading (pdf's) therefore an iPad might be what I'm looking for idk
@@mylegocustoms3443 I've used a Kindle a fair bit and would agree that a tablet would be better as a PDF reader.
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..
Not really. E-ink isn't backlit, so there's no color temperature at all unless you turn on the lights that are included on the newer devices.
Can you edit a Hollywood production on the mini 6 as well?
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.
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
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!
I just added the link to the description!
I'm curious about the other great libraries that are complementary that you mentioned
Pretty much any public library that you have an account with by using the Libby or Overdrive app!
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.
Well done
The fact you have a shelf all apple products boxes 🤯🤯
They add up over time.
I have a wall of all looking box of apple kobo Sony and the likes, it does look like a puzzle ahah
💸💸💸💸💸 “where does all your money go?” XD
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.
I'm typing on the keys2Go atm - it takes a bit of practise to get fast on it as you almost need a different technique (use less motion, and kind of feel the tiny movement of the keys), but it's an absolutely fantastic travel keyboard as you can literally put it in a backpack and forget it is there, it is so thin and light.
You’re in Boston? I live right next to Boston! I live in Chelsea!
What’s that difference between iPad mini and iPad Pro 4th gen?
Where do I get the logi keys??!
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
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?
not sure whether im focusing on the ipad mini review or your voice... super soothing 😭
Thanks!
@@HarrisCraycraft omg you replied!! hahaha have a nice day :)
I have an iPad mini and wanting to type with a keyboard is it a good idea?
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.
In watching on iPad mini 6
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?
Was your question answered by any means? I am wondering the same thing. Let me know, please!
Hello! I use the iPad mini 6 with 256GB for work, school, ibisPaint, planning and games! 64GB would be sufficient if you don’t play games on it, so the iPad mini 6 would be great for you :D
@@prernasingh8133 check my previous comment 😎😎😎
Wish Apple would make ipad with plastic, carbon type chassis at reduced weight with no camera at a lower price for readers.
1:30 You didn't tell us you had a pet ;) 5:45 Here he is again lol.
That insect at 1:29 tho
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.
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)
The screen is definitely small if you are going to have 2 windows in multitasking mode. It's like using 2 small phones, better option would be to go for the standard 9th gen iPad. With accessories and everything it's a greater deal. And the bigger display makes it better for note-taking, online classes etc. The non-laminated display is not really a huge deal breaker. Will you notice the air gap? Yes. But does it distract you? No. It's a digital tablet. After some time you will get used to the feel. The display quality is very good. The only downside maybe the lack of stereo speakers in iPad 9, but it does have a headphone port. So you can address that. But for an emergency of course you can make do with the downward firing speakers absolutely fine.
For students the iPad 9 is a good deal considering the costs of accessories and everything else even storage. The iPad mini is nice, but as you'll learn from a lot of other users it's a specialised tablet. The people who need it know for what exactly they'll use it.
For students the larger screen will be extremely beneficial
It's a bit small if it's your only device. I think it works best in conjunction with a laptop or desktop computer
Is ipad mini 6 storage is enough for medical student for whole course of mbbs?
Awww 🥰
100% true... i love hate my ipad pro 12.9 inch. I love it when I am drawing or video editing: hate it when I am taking notes in class or at home on my desk. There is no room for my keyboard and mouse when I am at my desk and I can't have my iPad and book infront of me in a small class desk. And backtracking to drawing: I find that I zoom in most of the time rather than moving my hand across a larger screen. mini is a little too small but 12.9 is definitely no longer tablet sized -its a small laptop size. Ipad mini to ipad pro 11 is the perfect size for a tablet. I want a tablet. Not a laptop replacement.. And the mini is the best tablet, and could even be better if apple just gave it promotion and made it thicker for a larger battery.
Good video
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?
Exact Same Situation here!
I actually just recently traded in my 12.9 iPad Pro for the iPad mini 6, and I absolutely love it! I'm also a college student who uses the exact same apps/for the exact same purposes, and I've been loving it so far.
The device is definitely much smaller, but taking notes hasnt been much of a change. I will say that you definitely have less space to write, meaning you likely would have to scroll around a bit more frequently, but the zoom-in feature on Notability (and other note-taking apps) with automatic scrolling makes that less noticeable and doesn't hinder much anyways. Multitasking may be a bit weird to get used to, but in landscape mode it should be fine.
Overall the switch has been really great and I actually find myself using this iPad much more than I did with my pro, simply because it's so much more accessible and portable.
The device is good but for multitasking if u wanna strain your eyes only then go for it because multitasking is extremely crapped and your hand always moves off of the device, also i noticed that the real estate isnt for a heavy note taker
@@thescriptingshow1950 went with the Air, would not go back. I kept the Pro, but use the Air 99% of the time.
@@CandyCaramel00 This was so helpful. I have the 12.9 inch and I find it so bulky. It's heavy for reading PDFs and honestly I feel like the big screen hurts my eyes a bit more (that might just be me). It's good to hear that there are those who "downgraded" to the mini and are happy.
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 🤷♀️
Nice to know you have hundred of $$ to waste on iPads lol
@@ESBEAUTII my pro is the 2017 version. And this 6, I traded my mini 5 in and saved money. But, I did buy the new iMac and a new Apple Watch. I do have money to “waste” on iPad and I products in general 🤣🤷♀️. What’s wrong with that?!?!?! I work my ass off

@@ESBEAUTII what’s up with the shaming and bitterness?
@@Tiffs-bookshelf I’m thinking of trading in my 5 mini as well. Just cause it has usb c charging rather than the lightning. Also, it has the Apple pen compatibility now.
Is it possible to code on the iPad mini. Like unity 5
