Is the iPad good for taking notes or should I stick to a laptop?

Im thinking about getting an iPad for school to take notes and type documents with Pages. Is the iPad good for this or should I use a laptop instead?

Thanks

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

It depends on your needs and preferences. I use my iPad regularly to take notes, but I wouldn't want to try and type an extensive paper on one without an external keyboard (my touch-typing skills just don't fit the spacing on the iPad's on-screen keyboard). I'd suggest you visit an Apple Store or dealer that carries the iPad and try out typing on it yourself and see how it works for you.
