Please explain why. I’m thinking about getting the air but if there is a reason I should get the pro please let me know.
If you want it, just get the pro. You don’t need an ipad for medical school and seems like a waste of money to me, but that’s my own opinion. If you’re already splurging on one, just get the pro.
Wasn’t provided by the school?My school requires them. I used it for all of my notes.
I ended up getting the pro when i bought mine.

What booty.LOL nope.
Really? Tons of people in my class use it for notetaking. I personally use it for all my PDFs instead of lugging around a hard copy of FA, Costanzo and Robbins. To each his own I guess.If you want it, just get the pro. You don’t need an ipad for medical school and seems like a waste of money to me, but that’s my own opinion.

I have a laptop that does all that, has a touch screen, and can do some light-medium gaming for a lot less than an ipad pro. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good product. It’s just grossly overpricedReally? Tons of people in my class use it for notetaking. I personally use it for all my PDFs instead of lugging around a hard copy of FA, Costanzo and Robbins.

ive just always loved the portability of an ipad. I cant throw my laptop in the inside pocket of a jacket. Plus there are a lot of wndows tablets which are just as good and way less expensive than the apple onesI have a laptop that does all that, has a touch screen, and can do some light-medium gaming for a lot less than an ipad pro.

I'm a bit old school, but I think paper notes are way better. It's so much easier to flip back and forth between pages when you want to quickly look at something. You can also spread your notes out on your desk and take up way more space than a tiny screen. In the middle of the night when you're cramming for an exam, it's easier on the eyes.
I recommend saving your pennies and using that money on something else.
I attempted that at the beginning of M1, but it amounted to thousands of pages and the ipad was easier
Gotta do 4-6 slides per page! One sided so that the ink doesn't show through and mess up the next page's slides.
Having said that. M1 was 11 years ago for me. Hahaha. I think you guys are so much better with the super portable electronics (iPad with stylus, apple watch, surface pro) having grown up with it.
I think there's a lot to the action of writing that instills the information in your brain. Typing doesn't have the same effect, and the old writing implements for the touchscreens weren't great.
Studying for the boards, I just can't do the PDFs or the online books. Paper. All the way.
