[QUOTE="MinaMACMan, post: 1260934, member: 30053"] Hello anifan. I am currently going for my Master's in Electrical Engineering and I have both an iPad2 and a MBP. I love both of them and both shine in their specific uses. The iPad is great for the Text Books (if the classes you're taking support eBooks). But, if you have an open book exam an iPad might not be allowed for obvious reasons. I also use my iPad 2 for taking notes with a stylus and it works great for that. The MBP is my all around work horse. All my coding and papers would be done on it and I can lug it around wherever I need so that I wouldn't be restrained to my desk or my house. The iPad2 is a very versatile device but it won't fullfil all your needs like a MBA. It's worth noting that there are indeed a couple of apps for the iPad that would allow you to write Code, some would go as far as syntax highlighting and compiling options on remote servers. But all in all they are for very light coding and get somewhat clunky for more involved code. Hope this helps. Cheers. MMM [/QUOTE]
