Yup, finals and a national exam back-to-back. Stressful, because I still have about 30+ assignments to complete still (not by procrastination) in less than a week.

I initially thought I wasn't going to use my iPad that much. I had a Lenovo laptop that was extremely light and could also be converted into a tablet. But when Win10 rolled out, I had so many issues while trying to complete assignments and was spending more time trying to Google how to fix my laptop than on actually studying. I used to be anti-Apple until Win10.

One of my favorite features that the Apples have is Airdrop, which allows me to share files by sending directly to/from the devices (this is how I edit Wiki). I have the Macbook Pro with touchbar.. I don't know if previous/other versions of Macs have the same Airdrop option. I also have the Apple pencil that you can buy separately for the iPad, which has come in handy when I didn't have paper to take notes with. As far as the keyboard, I'm able to place my fingers in home position and type on the iPad as I would a computer.

Would I say it's good enough to replace a laptop? No. I'm always working on more than one thing at a time (right now Photoshop, Acrobat, Chrome) and that would be much more complicated for me using an iPad. However, I can still get my assignments done using the iPad if I don't have my laptop with me.
