Ipad's for a levels?

I've recently started A-levels and am considering buying an iPad to make notes on and use as a computer.
Would any iPad be sufficient for this?
I'm studying: Maths, chemistry, and economics.

I would probably buy a keyboard for the iPad as well as I don't currently have a good laptop.
For certain tasks if needed would a shared home computer be good enough?

I use a macbook for my notes and i also do economics and i find my always having to draw diagrams on paper and taking pictures to insert into my notes which is pretty tedious.

I think also based on your other subjects like Chem n maths with a lot of formulas/equations that an ipad with a stylus and a keyboard would be a good option for U

i’ve purchased an ipad this year and trust me it’s the best investment ever. i take physics math and econ and they all require drawing/sketching diagrams and math so using an apple pencil with the ipad makes my life so much easier.

Hi,

An iPad would be great for your A-levels in Maths, Chemistry, and Economics. You’d be able to draw chemical structures, graphs, and formulae, annotate class slides, make digital notes, and download and complete past papers. Adding a keyboard would make it a convenient 2-in-1 device for typing and note-taking.

Hope this helps,

what iPad do you have? I was looking at 2nd hand iPad airs, is the 11 or 13 inch better ? or is the base or the pro a better fit?

I’ve got the 13 inch and it’s massive but it’s so good like I can never get a smaller iPad anymore as I feel like I have and a4 piece of paper to write on and split screen when doing past papers is amazing!!
With the 11 inch it could be easier to take out to do work if on the move like on a bus but I still take out mine depends on what your prefer on!
Definitely recommend getting an apple ipad pencil!(spend extra on the pro so you can squeeze it to swap between pen and other modes!)
