ipad switch?? help!
Have you looked into the new 11inch sized iPads? The iPad A16 (11th gen) is all most people need, but if you want to use an Apple Pencil that is on par (and now a bit better) than the mini, faster USB-C port, M4 chip, and that same great 11inch screen, then I'd go for that. If the price is a bit hig

iPad Air vs iPad Pro
For med school purposes (note-taking, PDF and PowerPoints), any iPad (base, mini, Air or Pro) would do. The main differences are in screen quality, screen size, chip, RAM and storage but unless you’re planning on playing video games and editing 4K videos, you wouldn’t feel much difference. It’s the

People who have an iPhone and a MacBook, what do you use your iPad for?
You don't need the iPad Pro unless you want it strictly for screen size as a second screen, and there are a LOT cheaper ways to get a 2nd screen for the MacBook Air. I've got an M5 MacBook Air and an M3 iPad Air. The iPad is a media consumption device and I occasionally draw with the Apple Pencil. I

Help deciding which iPad to buy
I’d go for the iPad Air 13” M3 256GB WiFi + Cellular ($750). It’s the newest/most future-proof with M3 chip, great for school apps, note-taking (full Apple Pencil Pro support), and multitasking with your 70GB+ stuff. Bigger screen than your current Air 5, 256GB solves storage, cellular adds flexibil

Where should I start? Help Needed.
I don't think it matters much which iPad. I have an M3 iPad Air but you would be fine with older ones. You'll need an Apple Pencil Pro and a matte screen protector. Matte screen protectors make the screen feel like you're writing on paper with the Apple Pencil Pro.. if you don't have one you're writ

iPad suggestion for students IND?
Well there is no "best iPad for students" Price-performance wise, a refurbished iPad Pro 2022 probably is the best deal right now. If you insist on a new device, than the iPad Air 2025 does everything you need to do, an iPad Air 2024 is also a good choice. If you look for a cheap option than go with

IPad for studying
Refurbished m2 iPad Air, m3 iPad Air, m1 iPad Pro, m4 iPad Pro, m4 iPad Air or m2 iPad Pro are all good for what you need Also for the best writing experience, I would strongly recommend getting an Apple Pencil 2/pro (depending on the iPad you purchase)

Now pay another $500 for Airpods
You are right, I was assume to graphical tablets + display, which you brought but didn't discuss that they completely wash the ipad value wise. I know this might sound lame, but for 150€ you get a good graphic tablet, and if you're okay with buying refurbished/used, you can find a decent laptop cost
