Ipad air or ipad mini w/ retina for a student? - Nico - 05-10-2014 03:18 PM
I mainly want to use the ipad for school work. like taking notes during class and creating projects while on the go or standby time between classes with out my laptop. and of course the occasional social media apps. So which one would be better off for me?

It just depends if you want the bigger screen or not.

The iPad Air would give you a bigger screen, it decreases the portability a little but bigger screen is better for taking notes as it becomes easier to press the accurate buttons to take notes faster. iPad Mini w/Retina display on the other hand provides smaller screen with more portability, you'll find it easier to carry around with you compared to the iPad Air.
iPad Air compared to iPad Mini w/Retina Display, take a look:

In both devices, you can simply attach a keyboard or even use a stylus for note taking purpose, the only difference is the screen size so IMO the iPad Mini w/Retina display would do the better job because of its portability.
Hope this helped!
