It is really a big difference of having a retina display and not?

Share your opinions

I own an iPad3 and I played with a Mini at Senheng last night. Since I surf the web quite a bit on my iPad and also read loads of text (emags, RSS, twitter, facebook) on it, the non-retina of the Mini is very noticeable and something I don't like. Text is all fuzzy, but a bit better than on the iPad2 though.

The things I liked about the Mini - it's high-quality, bloody light, thin and easy to hold with one hand, much better than all the Samsung Tabs (7 and 10+) I tried at the shop.

I will wait for an iPad5 and a Mini2, am hearing that the former will be thinner and lighter next year while the latter may get a bit thicker but carry a Retina display. Big one for me and the small one for my son

to me not that much difference... cause ipad mini is selling like hot cake if the display really that sucky then people wont buy but at the moment everywhere is out of stock.... this cant be true.... it sells better than iPhone 5

Not much different.. Because ipad mini got smaller screen.. If ipad 2 vs ipad 3.. Yaa.. Much different

depend your expectation, if you zoom in until you see the pixel than there are obvious differences but mini is better than ipad 2. color accuracy Ipad 4 will be better. mini has higher yellow tint like ipad 2.

I used mini more than my ipad 3rd Gen nowadays because of the weight, if Ipad mini 2 with retina comes out I'll sell out my ipad 3rd Gen to replace with mini. haha

I'm using ipad mini my self.... will get another mini with 3G.... at the moment I'm not missing my ipad 3

Previously I'm using New Ipad which I think have marvelous display due to Retina Display. When I bought this new iPad Mini, I do noticed that the display quality quite different compare to my former iPad, the font quite blurry.

But hey.. it's not a big deal to me. I can live with it. And I don't miss my New iPad. LOL!

it not sharp when reading small text, picture and video is less affected tho.

the size and weight is very nice to use, i believe most of the ipad user will appreciate it because the ipad are really big and heavy.

first impression viewing text isn't sharp as ipad 3, although is heavy and big i will still stick with my ipad 3

waiting for next year ipad mini hope there is retina display since the screen is my main concern.

Owned iPad3 and iPad mini now. Doesn’t really care about the non-retina, The size and portability trump over other factor for me.

Luv it.

i can tell u iPad mini screen is good enough & portable !

Previously an ipad2 owner...now an ipad mini. Ipad regular is just so big after you use ipad mini and I wouldnt mind the retina/ display. Portability is key.

To TS, you just have to see it in real to believe it ! iPad mini screen is not that bad as you would have thought ! Test it before you decide

Depends on your reading material. If reading LYN forum with not much text, I find it acceptable. If open those ebooks, better get Retina Screen. Of course, the mini is light as feathers.
