[QUOTE="ashlien, post: 1285131, member: 212170"] Personally, the iPad was a great investment for school. For this upcoming semester I was able to save around $370 on textbooks by purchasing e-books that I was able to put onto my iPad. Since I'm a Biology many of my textbooks have alot of colored photos/diagrams, and the quality is still great on the iPad (even when I really zoom in.) Also, carrying my iPad around instead of 4 (large) textbooks is alot easier on my back. In our classrooms, the electrical plugs are in really inconvenient places, so students with laptops are pretty much limited to the back row of seats in class. With my iPad I'm able to sit closer to the front, and I don't have to worry about the battery dying. On average I get it takes about 8 hours to drain the battery to 20-25% with constant use (flipping through my text, highlighting, and using the internet.) I'm really glad I bought an iPad...it has been a great tool for school. With that being said I also have a personal laptop and I [B]only[/B] use this iPad for school. Additionally, since the keyboard is a little small I also bought the wireless keyboard from Apple for notetaking, and a stylus so I can write/draw notes for my various biology lectures/labs. Good luck with school! [/QUOTE]
