Welcome to iMore, sir. Hopefully, you will find it informative, fun and worthy of your time. In regard to getting either an iPad Mini or 4th generation iPad, feel free to check out the reviews of both via iMore --- iPad Mini Review and 4th Generation iPad Review. In the meantime, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the forum Community Rules & Guidelines. Take care and have a great day...

Hi Chris. Where in NY are ya? Which are you leaning towards, the 4 or the mini? I went from the 2 to the mini. Much prefer the form factor.

Welcome to our community!

I used to live in NY - Rockland county. My son's in Brooklyn, and my daughter has defected over to NJ.

Right now, the two big differences between the mini and the 4 are size and resolution. I can't tell the difference between a retina and non retina screen, so for me it's the portability.

Born and raised in Brooklyn before I defected to CT. I have family in Massapequa. I love the mini! I have the 3rd gen iPad and it collects dust. So lightweight and portable.

It depends on what you're going to do with your ipad. If you're like me and watch a lot of video or read a lot of comics then get the 4. If not, go with the mini. Also welcome to imore.
