IPads Vs. MacBooks

Although iPads are great for educational purposes, laptops may offer just as much potential or even more.  For example, iPads are an awkward size and not easily carried around, However you can buy backpacks and bags specially designed for transporting MacBooks to protect them.  

But iPads also have their advantages such as gaming, but that doesn't help with education and could be a distraction to the students.  But ipads also better for text books because you can search through it better and also it is a more convenient size for text books.

MacBooks can match or even beat everything that the iPad has to offer,  such as in taking notes. It is possible on the iPad, But it is a challenging keyboard to master and can be confusing at times.  With a MacBook, however, you have a full keyboard and can type just as fast as you can on a regular desktop computer and overall increase your note taking speed.  Also, MacBooks are much more efficient to write papers on than it is to do with your average paper and pencil.

Another thing is that students take a lot of notes and taking them on an iPad can be very tedious and just be annoying to do with a touch screen keyboard, but with a MacBook, you can take notes even faster than writing speed which would make class time much more efficient.  

Despite their disadvantages, iPads have their advantages, for example, iPads are much better for textbooks and although they're an awkward size they are kind of convenient for carrying around with school books because they are the same shape and size as a text book.

MacBooks are easier for organizing data and keeping it well sorted. With an iPad you have all different kinds of apps that can’t really be sorted in an organized way without consuming your precious time.
