It is becoming increasingly common for students to use laptops or tablets for their studies: this saving of time and space, compared to binders and notebooks, is no longer negligible in an era where new technologies allow us to relieve our backs of a weight that we can now avoid.

Not to mention that using a PC or tablet makes it easy to stay organized with your various files and folders.

But which is the best choice for a student: a laptop or an iPad? We'll explore that question in the rest of this article!

The costs associated with purchasing, maintaining, and repairing an iPad

While some iPads are priced almost as high as laptops, this is often due to their specifications. Indeed, the more powerful the tablet you choose, the higher the price will be. However, you shouldn't prioritize a low price at the expense of quality: your tablet is meant to be a reliable companion for a wide range of projects.

However, if the cost proves too high for your liking or depending on your budget, it is entirely possible to opt for iPad tablets refurbished by a professional.

Once you've made your purchase, maintaining your tablet is simple. Budget around €100 to protect it with a case (or cover) and a tempered glass screen protector.

Over time, your only potential investment will be replacing the power supply cord if it wears out too quickly due to rough handling. The same applies to the protective screen if it is damaged by impact.

Finally, iPad repair remains accessible to everyone: whether it's a battery replacement, screen replacement, button replacement, audio jack replacement, charging port replacement, or any other request, the costs remain minimal compared to the new lease of life a repair service brings to your tablet. And don't forget that repairs carried out by a professional are always guaranteed!

It's easier to use on an iPad

Another easily verifiable point is the ease of use. Indeed, using a PC isn't always simple compared to an iPad tablet. If your computer skills are lacking, you can quickly find yourself overwhelmed by problems with operating system or software updates.

The iPad, on the other hand, was designed from the ground up to ensure an accessible user experience for everyone, regardless of their level of computer expertise. You'll receive a notification for every new update available, giving you direct access to install it. You can also choose to postpone the update or, if needed, enable automatic updates.

Another crucial point: a computer, whether desktop or laptop, is much more vulnerable to viruses. Protecting yourself by installing antivirus software can be costly, and the most effective programs are paid software.

With an iPad tablet, it is virtually impossible to be targeted by viruses!

The iPad, an extraordinary tablet in a ridiculously small size

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, the main advantage of a tablet compared to a laptop is its size: the iPad weighs only a few hundred grams (compared to an average of 3kg for a laptop) and is only a few millimeters thick!

It's therefore easy to slip your iPad into a backpack or handbag. It takes up little space, is easy to grab and lift for use in just a few seconds, making it ideal for taking notes on the go.

Finally, the iPad range is wide enough that you're sure to find the perfect tablet to meet your needs. iPad Pro, iPad Air, classic iPad… carefully examine the capabilities of each model to ensure you buy the ideal tablet.

As you can see, the advantages of the iPad are countless. Don't hesitate for a second longer if you were still looking for a good reason to ditch your laptop in favor of a dynamic and easy-to-use tablet.
