Apple’s iPad mini (A17 Pro) is the smallest iPad in the current range, aimed at people who want a proper tablet experience without the bulk of the larger iPad Air or Pro. It competes with compact Android tablets, but the draw here is Apple’s app ecosystem and the A17 Pro chip, which should feel snappy for everyday use and more demanding games. This bundle also includes a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Pro CPU cooler, a PC part that is unrelated to the iPad but may be useful if you are building or upgrading a desktop.

Who is this for?

If you read a lot, travel often, or want a one hand tablet for notes and streaming, the 8.3 inch Liquid Retina format makes sense. The 128GB storage is a sensible baseline for apps, downloads, and photos, though heavy offline video libraries can fill it quickly.

  • 8.3 inch Liquid Retina: compact size with a sharp, comfortable screen for long sessions
  • 128GB storage: room for most users without jumping to higher tiers
  • Hyper 212 Pro: relevant only if you also need an air cooler for a compatible PC CPU
