Light 293 g premium aluminium; no IP rating

Each part is rated on one scale for every tablet, from reviewers' measurements (battery tests, brightness, benchmarks) where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports, including after-sales service. It rates the tablet itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Light enough to carry anywhere
  • Sharp, colourful screen with a pleasant shape for reading
  • A17 Pro has power to spare
  • Lasts a full day of mixed use
  • Excellent with Apple Pencil Pro
  • Truly portable
  • Fast enough for Apple Intelligence and games

Cons

  • 500 nits feels dim
  • Front camera sits on the short edge, awkward for calls
  • No headphone jack; older Pencils don't work
  • Very similar to the 2021 model
  • Too small for laptop-style work
  • Bezels make it bigger than it needs to be
  • Still 60 Hz
  • Digital TrendsOct 2024

    A small, comfy tablet with lots of power, though not a big jump over the previous mini.

  • T3Oct 2024

    The go-anywhere tablet improved, mainly through Pencil Pro support, but it is no laptop substitute.
