Mashable senior editor Stan Schroeder mentions in his review of the iPad Mini that this generation sees a major upgrade to the camera and it comes with great speakers. He also considers the smaller size to be an asset. "It fits in small bags and larger pockets, and it can comfortably be held with one hand for longer periods of time," he explains in his review. "It's the only iPad you don't have to plan for; just take it with you as you would your phone, and you'll probably find some place to stow it away."

One notable downside to the iPad Mini is its lack of a headphone jack. However, you could grab a pair of USB-C headphones to use with the tablet which would remedy the issue.

Since today's deal is the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon, the universe could be telling you it's time to go mini.
