Thanks!My program recommended iPad in the beginning. However most of our files are PC based so many iPad users agree struggling. I have a surface pro with matching stylus and I love it!

BLM8867 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 PC/MAC. Depending on your program, testing software will require a PC or MAC. If you wanna get fancy, go with a combo. Many students in my class (including myself) have Surface Pros. A majority have the newest, I have the Surface Pro 3 ( $350 almost brand new on ebay) and it operates sufficiently for school purposes. A few students in my cohort began with tablets ( with a Bluetooth keyboard) and all have since transitioned to a PC/MAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD2012 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Majority in my class are laptops and some people use ipads to handwrite tidbits into the powerpoints. I've only used a laptop. I study with printed out PPT's and notes, I like marking it up with hi-liters and pens and prefer to physically hold my notes in my hands. Just my style.

CGM717 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I am starting in the summer as well. My program said in the acceptance materials that we needed a laptop, but I'm considering a 2-in-1 so I can write on it as a tablet during class. Has anyone used one of these or have any advice on the best one to buy? Looking at the HP and Dell. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would appreciate some input from guy/gals that use an iPad/Tablet for actual work, rather than just consuming media. My equipment has always been a desktop for power use and a laptop on the go. That said, I have owned the original iPad and another - a mini or some such that I still have. They were/are great for consuming as I said, to pass the time in a hotel room or doctor's office, but I never found a use other than that.It seems to me that the purchase of, say, an iPad pro with a keyboard and a stand just gives you an ersatz laptop, with nowhere near the capability of an MB Air. Or does it? If you use a slab instead of a laptop for actual work, I would like to know why you chose one over the other. Response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
