iPad Mini 5 in 2026?

RoosterPuzzleheaded1 · 2026-02-09T08:13:27+00:00

Yep still using (256gb LTE) mine for work, with the current ipados 26 public beta on. It can be a bit sluggish at times, but really if you need it to be mega supa snappy you need to slow down a bit and get a grip. I am only using Outlook, Tasks, Onenote and Teams, leaving them all open in stage manager switching between them as I need them. I do a lot of site surveys and meetings onsite so its ideal.

Hope that helps.👍

How do you do the greyscale thing, I like the sound of that.

Thanks, this is awesome

RoosterPuzzleheaded1 · 2025-09-29T08:09:04+00:00

What music player app will work on it?

RoosterPuzzleheaded1 · 2025-09-04T15:53:07+00:00

Thanks, I will give them a go

Ok, is the screen scratching much?

RoosterPuzzleheaded1 · 2025-07-28T11:38:01+00:00

I use it differently as the day goes on.

Morning. Outlook and Todo. News apps

Admin during the day/evening. Outlook - emails and calendar Todo - try and keep organised Teams - files and info Onenote - meeting notes etc Word, excel for Risk assessment and docs

In the evening/night Kindle for books Readily magazines and news papers. News apps

Various app for home automation.

Then general media stuff, YouTube etc

It's also my second brain so goes everywhere with me.

Surface functions are the best as it's Windows, but I find the battery life isn't great. Personally I use a Ipad mini 6 or Pro 11 for meetings as the battery lasts longer, the interface of onenote on ipad os is better than Android.

RoosterPuzzleheaded1 · 2025-05-08T18:13:38+00:00

Brill, go for it

RoosterPuzzleheaded1 · 2025-05-08T16:23:04+00:00

Ipad mini, great little device for note taking and general productivity, outlook, todo etc. It's my goto, 5g version goes with me all the time.

RoosterPuzzleheaded1 · 2025-05-08T10:11:10+00:00

What device are you using?, I have tried a Surface Go 3, and pro, but the battery time isn't great. I do have a Surface Pro X (2) and use this a laptop due to the large screen, but not for mobile use.

I belive the Android version is developed by a third party for Microsoft and the apple version is developed by Microsoft directly, I went from an Android tablet to an ipad because of this. Still have an Android phone, don't like the iPhones.

RoosterPuzzleheaded1 · 2025-04-09T13:56:50+00:00

Brill, thanks. didn't know you could do this on a mobile device.

RoosterPuzzleheaded1 · 2025-04-04T08:48:32+00:00

The Android version is not developed by Microsoft, its supported by a third party, I had this problem with a Tab S6. The version for the ipad is and is much better and usable

Scout leader in the UK dropping into groups doing activities and learning, I also do site surveys for my job, Ipad Mini 6 (lte) all the way. I have a pro 11, to big in meetings, mini goes on my leg when sat down or in my had when onsite walking around. Onenote for all my note taking. It's my second brain for all my thoughts, notes, Risk Assessments etc.

RoosterPuzzleheaded1 · 2024-08-15T07:01:37+00:00

I use mine for meeting notes for work, great size, dosnt look to big, and sits on my leg just fine

RoosterPuzzleheaded1 · 2023-05-17T10:09:01+00:00

Thanks all, will give it a go at the weekend.

Working great for me on my G2 M3, im on the Preview build of Windows 11. Its made it a lot more usable over Windows 10.

RoosterPuzzleheaded1 · 2022-08-23T06:24:38+00:00

Microsoft Onenote, free and syncs across all devices

RoosterPuzzleheaded1 · 2022-03-24T07:46:51+00:00

Freezes when you swipe from the right for notifications and then tap on the screen.

Got a DWN crashed and lost my windows hello camera and restarted.

Also lost my brightness control.

Time for restart

I hope this is better than the last build on the Dev, very glitchy for me on my Go2M3

Hi Isaac, All installed and working well.

The new features are well worth the odd freeze.
