Ipad or Laptop?

Hi everyone, soon I'll be studying Biomedical Science. I have both an ipad and a laptop but I'm unsure which of the two I should take to Uni. Any given advice will be appreciated.

The thing is I will be commuting to Uni, so carrying both will be a hassle for me.

Take laptop then , more versatile but you’ll need to do note taking on paper , both has an opportunity cost

I have a friend who does medicine at university he says he finds Anki the most useful when it comes to memorising the content, it’s a flashcard app

I’ve read a lot about people using notion and am only getting to use it by myself. It great; you can personalise it and use it for almost everything along with making notes PLUSS it’s free
