Q: Law student - Ipad or Macbook?
Hello everyone briefly I will introduce my position.
Currently i study law at college but i will be moving to university soon. I can't writte hand notes therefore for now I use samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 with keyboard case to make notes during lessons, is ok.
At home i use my mini mac with 2, 23 inches screens I use it for college work, animated videos and creating websites + casual task like web browsing.
I am not exactly happy with using samsung don't like the programs or that is quite hard to sync my tablet with mini mac.
So I was thinking to purchase new apple product for college work. And here comes the problem, all apple producs are **** expensive therefore I can get only 1 thing!
Either purchase ipad mini/ipad air or purchase macbook pro, air?
All I need the device is to: Make notes during lessons/sessions, being able to do home work and research (just for law). It must be flexible so I can sit elsewhere and do my work
The options are : Get rid of tablet - buy Ipad air/ipad mini.
Get rid of tablet + mini mac and buy mac book pro
Get rid of tablet and buy mac book pro - but then do i need mac book pro + mini mac?????
Please help me is very confusing! (if i chose to buy ipad i also will have to purchase good mobile keyboard.)

If you need to do legal research regularly or write long papers when you're away from your Mac mini, I'd suggest a MacBook Air. The iPad is a great adjunct and some people can successfully use it for a lot of writing, but most people find it less than ideal, and there may well be legal research sites that cannot be accessed from an iPad. If you can get only one device, the MacBook Air will be much more flexible and you'll be less likely to run into significant barriers in using it for your schoolwork.
Whether you will then need the Mac mini will be up to you. I'd suspect that you won't, but that's something only you can decide.
Regards.
