Hey everyone

I’m starting Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zürich this summer and I need to buy a laptop.

Right now I’m pretty deep in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, iMac, etc.), so my first thought was to get a MacBook Air and maybe replace my current iPad with a newer one as well so I can take handwritten notes, annotate PDFs and make sketches during lectures.

But I’m wondering if that’s overkill.

Would you recommend:

• MacBook + iPad setup
• or just getting one 2-in-1 device that can do both?

How annoying is it to carry/use two devices all the time? Does the Apple ecosystem actually make it seamless enough to be worth it?

Would appreciate some advice!
