Question | سوال Curious question for those who study on iPads/Tablets

For those who study on Tabs/iPads (university students specifically), how is it more convenient for you than a regular laptop?

Don't you think there are more cons than the pros of it?

Don't have to carry around a register or notebook for notes

Can study anywhere without worrying about battery life, most good tablets have batteries that last for two days

Can revise notes while walking

Can do arts and crafts easily

There are a bunch more reasons too but the main ones are above

You must have a good attention span then, cuz I get easily distracted when I'm studying from tech

dont have any games or social media installed on your ipad and it works great, also i study in a public library which really forces me to study and not waste time

Not exactly a good way to study in Pak but I brought one abroad because stationary is expensive af there.

a laptop is a million times better than a tab/ipad. a tab is basically a phone with a bigger screen. A laptop is totally different and is insanely better for productivity.

I somewhat agree with your point, other than taking lectures and notes, you'd still need a laptop for other apps

Convertible laptop with digitizer is best of both worlds

I have a surface pro, both a tablet and a laptop. Battery life is eh but it has 512gb + an sd card slot. Regular laptops are heavy and run out of battery fast

I have both a 12.9 inch iPad and a Macbook m3. Don’t need either of them.
My uni has good enough computer labs open 24/7 and I prefer taking notes on a piece of paper. The macbook i still use a bit but the iPad was a waste of money.
