If that is what you want, then you should be fine. You are answering your own question with that statement.
Dont forget that you can store unused content in iTunes on your computer or delete content and download much of it again for free when needed. If the iPad starts to get too filled up - dump some content into iTunes or delete it.
Sync it back or download it again when you need it. Just remember that if you delete apps that have documents and files that you want to keep, backup your iPad and transfer the files to your computer as well so that you can have access to them later.
Remeber this though, you cannot add storage to the device later. What you buy is what you get.

I cannot get sound on my iPad mini. Any ideas?

i cannot get sound on my iPad mini. Des anyone know how this can be fixed?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Go into the settings, reset, erase all content and settings. Which puts it back to 'out of box' state, then go back in and go through your set up but this time choose the 'set up as new' option.

My 16gb iPad mini 2 only has 11.6 gb of free storage, while iPad 3 has 13.x gb of free storage.

Why is my iPad mini 2 free storage so much smaller? I read online that other people have about 13-14gb free storage while I only have 11.6gb free storage, and I'm keep running out. Is my iPad mini 2 normal? I feel like I have an inferior iPad from other iPads. I don't know if other iPad mini 2 has similar free capacity.

All models which are the same will have the same space available. However, depending on how you use it and any possible corrupted files, your own free space could vary. To get it back like all others, and to get rid of any possible corrupted files, you should reset your iPad back to its original factory condition. Then you can see how the empty space compares to all the others. But, be sure you do your backups, first.

16gb Ipad mini-wi-fi only, no cell package.

I bought a 16g Ipad mini-wi-fi only, no cell package. Can I add a cell package later thru my wireless carrier for internet connection or should I have purchased this in the beginning? Is my Ipad missing hardware for this?

If you think you will need or want cellular connectivity or the GPS function of a cellular iPad return the device to the store you purchased it from. You might be able to do this with no charge if you are within the stores normal return period. For an Apple store that is 14 days.
Or you can sell the iPad and buy the cellular model.

How do I get music onto my iPad Mini (iOS 7) which hasn't been purchased on the iTunes Store?

Hi,
So I've got some songs on my MacBook Pro which I would like to get onto my iPad Mini running iOS 7. My iTunes version is 11.3.1 and my Mac is running on OS X Mavericks.
Thanks!

     Connect your iPad to your MacBook Pro with a USB cable. Open up iTunes, and click on your the iPad button (located on the top bar along with albums, artists, radio, etc.). Once your into your iPad settings, on the same top bar click music, and it will show a sync music checkbox. Click that box, then select either entire music library, or selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. If you choose the selected music option choose the music you want. Once you've done that, click sync on the bottom right, and wait for the music to sync to your iPad. Disconnect after ejecting. Hope this helps.
     If it says that you need to remove media from the device before syncing, its a bit more complicated. If you have all the already on your iPad on your MacBook Pro, or if you purchased it through with your Apple ID, then go ahead and sync, because all that music can be resynced or downloaded to you iPad. If your existing music is from another computer, you could use home sharing to move the music over to your MacBook Pro.
     To use home sharing, go under the File menu in the menubar, and find home sharing. Turn home sharing on on your MacBook Pro and the computer that your music was from originally. Sign in with the same Apple ID on both. You can now move music from the original computer to your MacBook Pro. Once you've done that, sync the music to your iPad as I explained in the first paragraph.
