[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1034142, member: 140470"] I think it really depends on your major and whether you will also have a desktop computer in your dorm/apartment in college. When I was in college my major required a lot of software in order to do the lab homework. None of which could have been done on an iPad even if they were invented back then. Of course I could always use the school's computer lab but sometimes it was full and I also couldn't work on my homework in the school's library or other places. Mobility is the reason why I like laptops. I'm not stuck doing my work in one place all the time and I have access to all my files rather than wait until I got home. Yes the iPad is mobile too but it doesn't do everything I need from a traditional laptop. If you are going to have a desktop at home then I can see that an iPad might work for your limited needs at school campus. You might want to contact your college and see what requirements are necessary before making your final decision. [/QUOTE]
