I need to replace my 5 year old laptop this summer for the fall semester and I’ve decided that instead of a new computer I should just upgrade to a tablet. I’ve always loved the iPad mini for its size. It’d be extremely portable and I would honestly get a lot more use out of it other than just school work, but I’m nervous about having to type notes or papers with it for how small it is. I’ve considered the Air because it’d be easier to use it as a computer, I know I could write papers and type/write notes easily with an Apple Pencil. It would be a great school computer, but I don’t know if I would use it casually like the mini. I’d love to buy both but can’t afford that. Which one would be better?

    So I have an iPad Air 2022 with the Smart Folio floating keyboard/trackpad thing and also a mini.

    iPad Air is brilliant for work when I am travelling, compact enough to carry but also only 11inch so good to us for Nessus and games etc also.

    Mini is an e-reader, browser and tv shows in bed more often than not.

    For note taking etc it’s the fair for me, hands down.
