Still rocking my first gen iPad Mini that I bought new.
Browsing functionality is pretty much toast, most websites just reload over and over I guess because the RAM can't handle it anymore, but for content consumption this thing is still a little beast. As long as Netflix, YouTube, Twitch and the like continue to run flawlessly, and the battery keeps giving me a solid six or so hours of video, I'll keep using this iPad until it disintegrates and blows away in a breeze.
I would love to have a newer model with retina but can't justify the price right when this one continues to work so well. It will be a sad day when it eventually dies.
