iPad is an abysmal choice for coding. Other than a handful of apps like Pythonista you can't run code on it at all and the apps that do allow it have limitations. If your data science program has you using R or something else like C/C++/Julia/etc. you'll be stuck SSHing into another computer to do anything. I've tried it and it's not worth it. An Android tab will have better luck with things like Termux but you're still better off getting a PC.

^ This.
I used an iPad for getting my CS degree, but I only used if for taking notes over PDFs during lecture. Since it was a gift I just used the iPad, but if I was in the market to purchase a note taking tablet I would look at an Android one or the reMarkable 2. Are better yet, buy a cheap Wacom tablet and pair it with a laptop. |
