After many years of use of iPad2 and iPad3 I had decided several months ago to upgrade to a device of the 8 "class. Reason: Better handling - especially when used on longer trips (Airborne etc.). I thought then other manufacturers would now on par with the Apple tablet. So I decided, not least wg. the much more favorable price, for an Android device of S ..... g. After a relatively short time, I found that my assumption is absolutely wrong. Okay, fair way I have to say that not a Tab3 in a league with the iPad Mini 2. I would probably have to resort to a rather Tab Pro, but what then is priced similar to the iPad Mini 2 again. But as I at the time but also noted that the, with useless for me Apps "cluttered" Android the device and I are not friends, I met a short hand with the decision again to switch to Apple. And, in my view, that was the very clear right decision. The iPad mini 2 is simply a stunner. It works absolutely great - class display, super battery life, everything runs smoothly. In addition, the device is easy - okay, a little heavier than my "Android-trial", but just not processed plastic and super. Great feel. Have been buying no regrets and would buy part definitely be back.
