iPad or MacBook for school

Hi, I am a student wondering whether an iPad or MacBook is better for me for taking notes in class and stuff. Also I am a creative student who occasionally writes stories and draws and reads. Which is the best device for me?

Thanks for any advice!

Can I use iPad as a digital notebook Hi, I am used to using Paper and Pen for taking notes, marking and prioritizing my tasks and few other things at work. Recently I joined a B-school to pursue MBA which means more notes. To go green and also to avoid stacking up of my notebooks and papers I am looking for options for Digital Notebook like Remarkable or Supernote. I wonder with the latest iPad features and apple Pencil if I could use iPad for taking notes. Since I am already in Apple family it would be easier with cloud storage and no additional subscription. I would love to hear the feedback from folks who has experience using iPad as a notebook.....Thanks

New IPad - Ipad or Ipad Air Debating between basic IPad and IPad Air. Not sure if there is a huge difference in functionality. Use for taking notes at meetings, reading from Kindle and web serving/browsing. Any thoughts from the group?

Everyone will have differing opinions on this. I use both. For pure browsing and reading, the iPad is fine.

But when I take notes or write it is the MacBook hands down.
