I took a "little" break but I am back, clearly, this video was filmed a little while ago (as you can tell by my hair). I thinking about doing an updated video however not a lot of my opinions on the iPad has changed it has been an all-around amazing device and I'm so thankful I'm was able to buy it. I don't want to promise that I'll be more consistent now although I do want to start uploading regularly. Let me know what you thought of the video, especially the B roll. Have a productive week!

    Looks like a good setup, however, I’m going old school for A Levels. Textbooks (CGP and also the ones the school provided), exercises books and folders/file dividers. I will probably only use Anki on my laptop for studying, other than that most of the studying will be done on paper and textbooks.

    Hi Udoka, I bought an iPad Pro 2021 12.9” over the summer and don’t regret it at all! It’s been amazing so far and I also use GoodNotes 5. I would however recommend the Logitech Combo Touch rather than the Magic Keyboard - it’s much better quality and the user experience is very similar (bonus - it’s also a bit cheaper and has a full row of function keys)!

    Ive had my IPad pr0 2018 for 3.5 years now. Everyday use - it’s perfect. 6 hours a day through GCSEs and currently A2 and it’s great. GoodNotes does drain the battery much faster and more storage - after a full day on notability I’ve got about 70-90% left depending on if I’ve done work in my frees and other variables like working on sheets so it’s great. Battery health on the Pro is not a problem - says I’ve got 60% battery health which is good after 3.5 years {your phones battery health is crap after 1 year} but I still get a solid 12 hours battery life. Best investment I’ve made.

    I’ve got one as well, but I got the Logitech combo touch instead of the magic keyboard (its better in my opinion, as you can detach the keyboard) Another big benefit of the iPad Pro is that you can do as many past papers and practice questions as you can any with the Apple pencil and it saves you having to print out a shit ton of paper😁

But right now I am going towards a laptop, just because it can do a lot more. Tho not note taking, and that’s why I’m still think of getting an iPad. I guess I can save again and get a cheaper iPad next year. I would like to know your opinion on which one should I get.
