This is the pricepoint at which the mini should have shipped.
I like our ipad mini, but I would hesitate to recommend it to anyone serious about using it as a laptop replacement. Its processor is long in the tooth at this time, and it's starting to show. Recent;y, we found an online card game that plays fine on my iPad Air, but is tediously slow on my wife's iPad Mini. Card game - not a high-end game.
It's still a nice product, but it's really a rev A. The second gen iPad mini with retina is better in every way.
