Pros of me buying an iPad:

  • A second display when I'm on the go
  • A much more usable screen size for doing HW and looking up notes and videos for HW (without having my MacBook)
  • 1/3 the weight of my MacBook
  • much smaller footprint than my MacBook
  • Can multitask
  • Very long standby time
  • Would not have to pull out my phone at all when on Campus, since my iPhone can relay literally everything to the iPad. 

Cons of me buying an iPad:

  • I already have a MacBook Pro, making the iPad Redundant and inferior
  • an expense is an expense. $329 is $329 that I could save
  • I cannot work on CS HW from my iPad since an iPad can't do C++
  • Would not be used often when at home or even school. 

I sadly really can't justify an iPad, but that buy button is so tempting.

    Used iPad? My 4G equipped iPad Pro 9.7" costed me £180 (plus £40 for used apple pencil), 1.5 years ago. I ended up using it more than my desktop and laptop! 

     

    One of my better purchases I've got to say, considering it just means that I don't always have to carry my laptop :D

    Perhaps, but I've never been one to buy used Apple Products. Maybe refurbished, but never used.

    I get the most use out of tablets with them being used for PDF readers.

     

    I also have the iPad 7 along with the 12.9 Pro and it is quite capable for it's low price.
