What computer/laptop do you use and which one do you recommend for studying/school? When is a good time to finally get one, and how useful is it? I have an iPad and i want to know if getting a computer is better
iPads are good for if you’re taking public transport for a long time each day as it’s lightweight and convenient. It’s a pretty good option, especially with a bluetooth keyboard. I feel like a laptop is better in VCE though, because you’ll need to do so much more work and typing.
If you like taking notes on a device it would be better to get a laptop! However, I’ve used the iPad as my main device before and it’s honestly pretty alright if you take handwritten notes. I’ve transitioned to a laptop and can’t live without it (wow this is so dramatic). The type of laptop you get shouldn’t really matter too much, but try to get one that you will also use at home since they are quite expensive. I have a 15 inch laptop, which I personally find really annoying to bring to school, but I do love the big screen so it’s a good compromise. Most people have 13 inch laptops though.
If you don’t want to commit to one, you can also borrow one from the library to use at school!
