The currently best tablet ... in small!

As a multi-tablet users I had some tablets in use. Among other things, a Win8 tablet, the Galaxy Tab 3/4 Tab from Samsung and the Xperia Z2. But really happy was neither the one nor the other make me. One tablet was often much too slow, the others to nested inside the folder and menu navigation, the others failed in the material production. Ultimately I ended at Apple and use now for a long time, the iPad Air, which is the best tablet on the market continues to be in my eyes. Now even a slightly smaller tablet was needed for the second crop, and as much the choice of course on the iPad mini with Retina Display, because it does not differ fundamentally from large Air, except being in size and weight.

First, a word about the initial establishment: Here you always hear horror stories of an intricate initial setup with ID creation, account information and the like. Yes, the is not so, quite the contrary! The device is easy. Notebook switched (Sony Vaio with Win8), iTunes loaded down, then searched the App Store to Google, elected a free app to "purchase" (in this way to handle that is to specify a method of payment when you created the Apple ID), then quickly created an Apple ID, the iPad is turned on Apple ID specified during initial configuration and Zack: the iPad is ready to go. All very easy, 5 minute time to finish. If desired, you can update to iOS8 of iOS7 then equal to, which then also takes a moment.

The Mini itself thrilled not only by a simple start-up, it's just like the Air just a great piece of technology. The build quality is beyond doubt. When `s take exactly one and the Mini without question to the highest quality tablets which I held until now in hands. It is due to the small dimensions perfectly in your fingers, it is still lighter than the Air, and it feels just great valent to - all of a piece! Since creaks nothing and because nothing wobbles. The Retina display is also one highlight and delivers exactly like the Air 2048 x 1536 pixels at 264ppi. The color is brilliant, the presentation of images and HD video is knackscharf, the viewing angle provides decent off and the black level is top notch. In addition, the display responds to even the slightest touch of a finger. Nice are also the various functions, such as the pack away from the open Apps and just run like the outstretched fingers on the screen together and away is the app. Then slide your fingers away from one another and you can already easily between apps switches back and forth, or close it. Buttons? Redundant! Except for maybe the volume. All this is also buttery soft and without any delays of equip. And the commissioning on from standby takes place within blink of an eye.

Which brings me also to the next selling point, a widely-praised performance. Against the iPad stinks as the Galaxy Tab 3/4 Tab or the Xperia Tablet Z2 mercilessly. When iPad nothing hangs, it hooks nothing, turning the LCD's from the perpendicular in the balance rights happens virtually in real time, the load times are reduced to a minimum, no delays in Touches, no annoying load times, apps or iTunes are within a few moments opened and the internet performance and the Wi-Fi reception is fabulously well. For where a Xperia Z2 Tablet or an Acer P3 Ultrabook fail in terms of reception, the mini purrs like a kitten. Oh, working noise quasi not jangle. And the speakers do right what forth for such a small tablet. YouTube videos or games on the Mini make so fun!

Most, however, I like the ease of use. The Mini is so simple and clear, that is simply wonderful! All settings can be found right away. You have to perform any folders and subfolders Wursten, functions are exposed and quickly and easily to reach / described, you jerk twitch insight into the memory or battery life, and recharge itself Apps downloaded and then delete it with a few finger taps , Added to this joins also the excellent battery life. Even after several weeks of intensive use the battery lasts on average 14-15 hours fabled for its normal use and medium screen brightness, entirely sufficient for the day! In addition, the Mini was several hours in standby. And the tops just about everything I could compare to date of tablet batteries.

What remains conclusively so to say. Well, the iPad Mini, I recommend to all those, which the Air is too big or maybe too expensive and would still like to use a simple and Performance Technically superior tablet on the sofa at home. Because it's not really different, apart from the size and weight of the iPad Air. The shape is a big advantage. While other small tablets like the Samsung or Acer ehr have long shaped, Apple offers a beautiful display / tablet form, which is why it is not as small as it fails in reading or hearing the dimensions might suggest. Power / performance outstanding, top processing, less than 5 star can not!
