  • Which device should you get for university studies? In this video I compare a laptop and a tablet, specifically the iPad Pro and the MacBook Pro. The pros and cons of each device when using them for university studies! I have experience using both so am sharing my opinions on each :) I am so lucky to have the option of using either. This video is to help people choose which would be most suitable for them + their learning style! Enjoy :)

      Bro that's a great setup too and in samsung tabs you can do much more than an iPad could (recent ones like from 5se - 6 to 7+). And also windows and Android are more user friendly 😉💜

    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  Před rokem +8

      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 :)

I've never used it as I have Samsung tablets (and I don't think the notes app on MacOS is Apple notes right?) and instead I use Samsung notes. I was wondering if Apple notes would be better, but from what I've seen from mates using it, it's significantly worse in terms of features.

    what about paper vs the ipad for notes? i also learn better by handwriting but can't decide if i should just use paper or an ipad

    • @miaalicex
      @miaalicex  Před 3 lety +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 Před 4 měsĂ­ci +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.
