Should I buy an iPad for school? I'm in college and I walk (+bus) to and from campus and last semester my laptop was too heavy. This semester I will have a considerably large gap between classes so I'd like to spend that time working on my online classes. I currently have a laptop but I find it quite heavy and bulky to take back and forth along with my other class stuffs. I've seen a lot of other students with iPad Minis and those keyboard cases. Would an iPad be a good option for me? Does anyone use an iPad for school?
