Im looking at buying my girlfriend an iPad mini for Christmas, and after reading the reviews between the mini 2 and mini 3 have realised that there is bugger all difference between them and that its much wiser to just buy the 2.
So, I thought I was all set and then received an email today saying that Big W are selling the original iPad mini (without retina display) for $260, which is $100 less than the mini 2. It got me thinking that maybe Id be better off getting her that and then spending the other $100 on some additional pressies.
What Im curious about is what people who have used the mini 1 and mini 2 think of them. I realise the mini 1 isnt as good (slower processor, no retina display) but is it a significant difference that is noticeable for a casual user? Bearing in mind itll be used pretty much solely for web browsing and watching movies or whatever on a bus/plane.
I just dont know if the original mini is laggy/rubbish and just not worth bothering with. Hence, this post.
