Sascha Segan in her review in PCMagazine of the tablet market writes that “The new Apple iPad mini With Retina display ($399 to $829) is just a shrunken iPad Air. It’s so similar to Apple’s flagship tablet that your decision will pretty much be completely based on size and price.

Remember, that before you invest in a new laptop, it is wise to check with the school to see if they have specific requirements. Many schools have repair centers that are only offered to students that purchase their computer through the school. On-site repair at your school will usually result in a much faster turn-around time instead of having to return it to the vendor.
