Thoughts on iPads for school? (2 Viewers)

[arcadian]

if you have the money what's the problem?

consumerism + overconsumption

 

[wollongong warrior]

no but like what do you need your ipad for if u already have a laptop or vice versa

Laptop for lecture material + tablet for note taking >>>> split screen on tablet

 

[shoulfer]

the cheap one is shit you might aswell just get the pro

trueee, but then I feel like it would be best to compromise on one of them (probably the laptop), as you don't really a need a MacBook AND ipad, just a decent laptop and iPad would do fine imo.

Personally, I hate taking notes with a tablet. Most of the time I take notes with a pencil and book. But you could also get a good 360 degree laptop, with a touch screen and stylus to write stuff with. My laptop is a HP Envy I picked up at black friday for 1.2k, which is a little steep but it's cheaper than getting a laptop and an ipad.

That's only true with a touchscreen 360 degree laptop which I have so I get to laugh at all the ipad + macbook peasants as I do the same thing with $1.2k as their "studying setup" which costs $3k

Edit: grammar

 

[SecretSpectre]

I've got that as well. Battery isn't the best. The HP pencil isn't that good and costs the same as the apple pencil, it is also much easier to lose. It does the job sure and to meet both worlds, it is good.

I agree on the pencil. The lid design could also be a bit better since the keyboard makes marks on the screen. I put a piece of paper in between when I close it. The battery life is pretty much expected for such a big touchscreen since those take quite a bit of power. It's got an IGPU too, which also uses extra power when watching videos or wasting my time playing Minecraft.

because some people are unnecessarily rude over trivial things on the internet

guys i have this exact question but about touchscreen laptops with a stylus - i dont have an apple anything and ipads are out of my family's budget rn so i dont feel like ipads are the right choice for me but i love the idea of using a stylus??? any suggestions

i have a laptop which used to have a touchscreen, keep in mind that if it gets cracked you may no longer be able to use the touchscreen. i cracked my laptop and it started 'ghost touching' so i had to disable the touchscreen. honestly i dont think writing with a stylus is that helpful at all for remembering stuff, writing on paper is better for memory and it helps with exmams

 

[iloveeggs]

use paper innit

i am now idk what got into me

update: i’ve gotten the ipad 10 + apple pencil usbc!!! i’ve had it for a few days now, and im very happy with my purchase. definitely excited to use it for maths and other subjects to jot down ideas and stuff. i don’t notice any negatives with the non laminated screen and apple pencil tbh!! and i also am using a tempered glass screen protector and once again - no negatives! i like doing silly drawings on here and i don’t notice any slipping that i heard about in other reviews (but i suppose it would be better to get something else for serious drawings). i love being able to have a functioning ipad (coming from using an ipad 6 which was slowly dying, then quickly dying). thanks for everyone’s advice!
