[QUOTE="Discerptor, post: 1252098, member: 12177"] I might get skewered for this, but I have to put this out there: Getting an iPad for the [b]sole[/b] purpose of taking notes during class is a bad idea, particularly in your case since you're getting a very portable notebook anyway. Typing on that touch screen isn't [i]terrible[/i], but don't expect it to even compare to typing on something with a keyboard. Now if you go out of your way and buy a keyboard dock for it, you've suddenly lost most of the portability advantage the device has over a MacBook. The bottom line is a MacBook Air/Vanilla/Pro will be far better for taking notes during class, especially in your case since you seem to have decided you're not getting one larger than 13 inches. And by not buying an iPad, you can afford to buy nicer options on the MacBook or some nifty peripherals. You could even (gasp) save the money. So my suggestion is Option 3, but without the iPad and with something else. [/QUOTE]
