ipad v laptop for a levels

I’ve been scrolling on similar posts to answer my question but I’m still not sure what I should buy for a-levels.

My subjects are : economics, physics, maths and further maths.

What should i get?

I have a very slow chromebook on hand that I use for school and with my monitor but it’s again very slow and has limited features

In that case, although an iPad might be useful, it might be work upgrading that computer (possibly getting a Windows one over a Chromebook).

Hi @limons_2

I used a mixture of my laptop and my iPad during A-Levels. I found that my iPad (with an apple pencil) was good for more practical subjects where I was doing calculations. Whereas my laptop was better for essay based subjects.
It is really about personal preference and which you think you would prefer using.

Hope that helps!
