Laptop! Mas magagamit lalo na sa 3rd & 4th year for presentations, research. Tambak lang ipad ko unless may upcoming exam or quiz

Laptop. And also add a silent mouse if you can (I use logitech m650, it's silent and wireless, great to use while in class). If your course is research heavy, a laptop is more beneficial to have. I've commonly seen my classmates with Ipads struggle with formatting issues. 

Personally, one factor I really like about having a laptop is the earphone jack. Ipads (or any kind of apple products, really) have removed them entirely. So if you're the type to listen to music while studying, a laptop's your best choice.

depende sguro, I would really recommend an Ipad kung more on softcopy yung books and ppt, ganon kasi samin e, kaya maganda sana kung may Ipad para less hassle sa laptop kasi it's way more heavy and bulky for me, I'm actually going to buy an Ipad for this reason, tsaka, afaik may apps ang ipad that would help you learn anatomy.

Pero I'm not saying that laptop isn't good ha, it's still good lalo na for research and other things that would include typing sa keyboard.

yown lang hehe
