Anyway. I’ve been using the iPad for a couple of weeks now and just with every new iPad update, I love it and I truly do love the iPad for the student experience. However, apple makes this decision harder and harder to make, and harder for me to make a video talking about this device for students, because obviously, this iPad is awesome. I can say, go get it, but then you have IPads that are a couple of hundred dollars more expensive, and then somewhere, you’ve got the iPad that is several hundred dollars cheaper
I’ll try to make this video as practical as possible if you’re, just looking for the note-taking experience – and you just want to use a stylus with your iPad – maybe read some books on it. Go for the cheap iPad and go for like a cheap, 30-stylus.
I’ve made a video on these cheap stylized before going for that. But I know if you want something sleeker nicer and just that full-screen effect, because I mean that’s pretty sick. Like I, you know it’s awesome probably go for the iPad air 5.
However, if you do want more storage, more than 64 gigabytes – and you are using it specifically for artistic purposes, with the apple pencil and you can benefit from the faster refresh screen. And if you don’t know what that means, that probably means that you don’t really need it again.
That’s why you might maybe want to go for the iPad pro. But I think for most students, this is an awesome combo a bit expensive. But for me, I can pretty much completely replace my laptop experience as a humanities, major right philosophy and communication student.
I don’t have any computer science work to do. I don’t have any online labs. I do have some Spanish homework, which gets a little tricky using my Spanish lab and an iPad, but for the most part, I can write my papers and read my books.
Take my notes, watch some youtube facetime, some friends, and watch baseball games on this iPad and enjoy it, and I will tell you I never get tired of the feeling of using the iPad with the keyboard and trackpad, which, of course, you don’t have to do. With your iPad, but for me the feeling of using that, as basically a full desktop experience and then just taking the ipad off with a magnet using it as a really good tablet and then also just using apple pencil, to take notes.
It is a lovely or, as I just heard in Dublin, “louvly”. It’s a louvly, devoid experience. Let’s talk a little bit more about it.
Okay, so yeah pretty much everything I do now, I do on the iPad and that’s why I do like having the non-budget iPad because I use it for so much as well as this thing is so fast like as fast as this with the m1 processor. So it really makes it easy to do anything.
I want from editing videos, edit photos, and then just anything else I want to do on an iPad. I can type my papers here, usually using the notes app, and then me I’ll copy and paste them into something else.
If I need to export it to submit it, I can use canvas for my assignments. I do pretty much everything on the iPad and there are a couple of downsides that we’ll talk about, but in general, I think that. Well, I personally can use this for just about everything that I need to.
At the end of the day, this probably can’t 100 replace a laptop so for most students you probably won’t be able to just use the iPad you might be able to, but there are probably going to be a few things here and there that are just going to be really difficult now i guess one alternative is that you can use this iPad and then, if you need a computer for something else, you can go use your library’s computer or something like that
If you go for the cheapest MacBook air and the cheapest iPad Air, that’s really not a terrible price point for a really well-rounded experience to have a good laptop when you need a laptop and an awesome tablet for just about everything else or hey like go, for I mean apple, doesn’t want to hear this, but maybe go for Just a much cheaper laptop for all the things you need to do on that, I’m still leaning towards the mac, but that’s an option all right so now I want to give you a bit more of what my typical day by day, experience is like.
With the iPad Air 5, this pretty much always includes the apple pencil and the magic keyboard. But again you can go with either of these options or neither or cheaper versions of both of these options. If you choose, but most of the time I’m using my iPad, it is through canvas which is our kind of school or class management system.
As a student, I can always hotspot to my phone not as convenient but so much cheaper. So again, it’s cool that there’s 5g but whatever, but then the m1 processor that makes this iPad much faster, is awesome and i think, will serve a lot of people really.
