Its small size so I can even put it into a (large) inside pocket and use it when attending hospital appointments without needing to take a bag with me. As I use a mobilty scooter I like to have no extra clutter to have to keep an eye on
When I used to have an iPad Mini, I loved being able to put it in my briefcase without taking too much room. Just loved how light and compact it was. The iPad Mini is now with my mom and she loves bringing it to the casino, doctor appointments etc and not have to worry about carrying a large bag to hold the iPad!
