The iPad Mini is no question the best media tablet,
easy to use on the go or on the couch for playing games, watching
movies, and reading books. But can it hack it as a "regular" tablet
despite its smaller size? It's the only media tablet that has all the
same capabilities as a full-size tablet -- it's an iPad through and
through, as Apple continually reminds people with its "every inch an
iPad" slogan. That full iPadness is one reason the Mini costs more than
other media tablets.
In fact, the iPad Mini's small size and light weight (at 12 ounces, half that of a full-size iPad) may have greater appeal in some business contexts, especially in field force, logistics, and retail usage where people aren't working with Office documents and complex websites.

On the other hand, the iPad Mini is less powerful than the full-size iPad, especially now that Apple has released the fourth-generation iPad, which boasts a new processor (the dual-core A6X) and the 264-pixels-per-inch Retina display for more-natural-looking images and crisper text. The iPad Mini's resolution is just 163 ppi, and it uses the same dual-core A5 chip as the 18-month-old iPad 2, which is still available in the 16GB Wi-Fi-only version for $399.
The iPad Mini also skimps in the camera department. Its rear camera has no flash and lacks the ability to take high-dynamic-range (HDR) photos. Even the new, fifth-generation iPod Touch sports an LED-equipped camera and supports HDR photography.
When you look at its hardware components, the iPad Mini is little better than the iPad 2. In fact, it's clear that the iPad Mini is essentially a shrunken iPad 2, though with Siri voice recognition and stereo speakers.
