Heya, as someone who used the iPad religiously for everything in my first year of medical school, I’ve now switched to a laptop and found it sooo much better! This video is to make the point that:
1. You might also find your laptop to be better for note taking
2. If you can’t afford an iPad (they’re super expensive!) you shouldn’t feel bad or the need to have one! You’ll probably be absolutely fine without!


If you'd like my iPad lecture notes from first year (for free ofc), let me know, I'll put them together :)
