    I noticed getting proper work done on the MacBook is easier but taking notes/attending zoom lectures so much more enjoyable on the iPad

    I’m really leaning into getting a MacBook to replace my dell. It is the safe option because I know I can do everything on it. But at the same time I want to digitize my studying process with an ipad

  • @Weaselszone

    I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ and a Windows laptop (I made a mistake, and got a laptop that's basically a portable desktop), then bought a MacBook Pro 14' later on. And, yeah I'd completely agree with what you're saying. I later bought an S8 Ultra because of the larger screen, and I value both quite equally. Samsung notes works across all devices (yes there was a Samsung notes version for MacOS), and I absolutely love it!

    I have a laptop (not a mac) and i use it to do my school things, and i don’t know if i should buy a new macbook to replace that laptop or buy a ipad pro, because it’s more portable and flexible

    • @miaalicex
      @miaalicex  2 роки тому +10

      I would say that the iPad and MacBook are just as portable as each other, because the iPad Pro is quite heavy, especially if you add a keyboard. I think the safer option would be a macbook because they are amazing and you can do everything on there (except write with pencil ofc) but the pen thing on the iPad is more for fun + make you more engaged in lectures, studying. If I had to choose one I think it would be macbook even though I loveee the iPad! typing on the mac is more productive for me. also I’d say that lots of people get along fine with a non-mac laptop so if you wanted to keep that and see how you go then I think it would be fine. depends on your budget :)

    • @miaalicex
      @miaalicex  3 роки тому +14

      hey! yeah it’s a close one really. the main reason i’d choose an iPad over paper is cuz for my course I have an excessive amount of notes to write so if I had it on paper i would have so many binders and if I wanted to find something it would take soo long to flick through! but obvs an iPad is a lotttt more expensive than paper. I think if I used paper this year I’d be absolutely fine, just a bit more of an inconvenience :) also everything on my iPad is backed up so if I lost it then I still have my notes but paper is easily lost/damaged. what you could do if you want a similar thing but an iPad is a bit expensive, is do your notes on paper and scan them in and keep them on google drive or an app xx

      @tatianabritton6258 10 місяців тому +1

      So I was an accounting major. Personally, I preferred my iPad over my MacBook and the main reason why is because my professors gave us the slide deck before class so I would write/take notes on it during the lecture via good notes. If you’re going to get the iPad, definitely get a keyboard with it (doesn’t have to be the Magic Keyboard) because you will be typing tons of papers and i wouldn’t recommend depending on the school’s computers to do that especially during finals week because everyone and their mother will be there using it. I’m back to studying again but for my CPA and still use my iPad more than my MacBook for it.
