iPad is an amazing device, but it's also expensive, and if you cannot afford an iPad, you might be interested in an iPad clone.

Colorfly CT781 is a clone of iPad mini, but unlike iPad mini, Colorfly CT781 is 0.4mm slimmer, and it has a narrower bezel of 4.9mm. Just like iPad mini, this tablet comes with CNC-machined aluminum casing. As for the hardware, this device uses 7.85-inch touchscreen, and it's powered by Allwinner's Cortex A7-based A31s quad-core chip with PowerVR SGX544 MP2 graphics and 1GB of memory. Regarding the software, Colorfly CT781 runs on Android operating system.

Colorfly CT781 imitates iPad mini's design with ease, and it's a bit slimmer than the original model. As for the performance, we're not sure if this device could be compared to Apple's iPad mini. If iPad mini is too expensive for you, and you want a device that resembles it, Colorfly CT781 tablet might be what you need. This device will be released in China soon, but there is no information about pricing.
