iPad
CPU
1 GHz dual-core Apple A5
Original price
8500
Introduced
October 2012

line of mini tablet computers from Apple Inc.

A lot smaller and just half the weight of a full-sized iPad, the iPad mini squeezed the features of the iPad 2 into much more portable package with a 7.9″ screen.

Unlike other iPads introduced after the iPad 2, the iPad mini used the same 1024 x 768 resolution as the first two generations of iPads, which helped keep the price down. Performance was virtually identical to the iPad 2.

The iPad mini was available in three color schemes: black and slate, white and silver, and space gray.
