Ipad Pro Vs Macbook Air For College Students. For 2019 it seems that more people will look at the iPad and consider it good enough for their needs rather than the traditional notebook in the form of a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. Having more RAM is always a good thing since it makes the machine feel and run faster and it can handle even more resource-intensive tasks like video editing.
I got my MacBook Pro 2015 the summer before medical school. Every college will require students to be able to access their email on a daily basis which either a Mac or an iPad could easily do. The iPad Air was made to deliver Pro level performance at a more accessible price.

I got my MacBook Pro 2015 the summer before medical school. Its perfect for reading online replying to emails writing papers chatting with friends listening to music and watching movies. I do have an iPad specifically an iPad Pro 129 that I really like. So the A14 chip found in the 4th generation iPad Air is seriously powerful.
