      @@Amanda-po9xe it’s such a luxury! It’s so easy and I honestly prefer taking notes on my iPad and it does everything I need it to do. And when I’m home, I have the luxury of this huge screen. And I use google docs for everything so there’s never an issue with transferring my work. Would highly recommend

    I’ve been using my iPad Air 4 more than my laptop since I bought it back in July. I use the iPad for notes and watching shows, and with the multitasking features, I don’t really need to use the laptop to look at presentations whilst taking notes. I’m already planning on buying the magic keyboard for my iPad in white to make my blue iPad color pop and because it’s my go to for a lot of things besides my phone. As I’m a Communication Design major (think Graphic Design and studio arts), I’m looking into buying the yellow 24” 2021 M1 iMac with 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage. I’ve been using flash drives since high school, but I’m going to invest in a bulky hard drive and transfer all my files so everything is in one place and won’t misplace it. I’ve misplaced my flash drives on several occasions lol. I don’t want to invest in a laptop that’ll just take up my already limited space of my small desk which is why I’m going for an iMac in the future. Sorry for the long comment. Ciao!

      @@HarrisCraycraft I live in a house so space isn't an issue the way it would be in a dorm. Currently I use my iMac for everything except taking notes (Nothing beats annotating pdfs, books, or ppts on iPad Pro) But the iMac is great for everything else. It's very powerful, so all my apps run smoothly (ArcGIS pro, etc), I also do some light photo and video editing. I think it comes down to personal preference. I am much more productive with at a proper desk set up. A laptop makes it too easy to take my work to couch or bed. I had a MacBook Pro that I had connected to a monitor, but I like the proper desktop experience so much better.

      @Michael Barber The size difference isn't an issue for me. But I do want to see in person before upgrading because my current iMac is 5K with nano-texture glass. On paper, the 2021 model would be a resolution downgrade, so I am hesitant.

    gonna buy it and use it for my 3 years school life.
    I used 2 mbp and one pc laptops in last few years and really getting tired with small monitors. Wanted to buy a 4k monitor but they are quite expensive. So with all those considerations, I thought m1 imac could be a good option.
    the price is reasonable as it contains beautiful monitor and nice chip. I am not a apple fan, to be honest, I dislike apple but this imac is a nice product with reasonable price 😄
    Hope everyone safe😄

    A 1080p monitor with a cheap keyboard and mouse and a Mac mini and an iPad air with apple pencil is a very good choice. If you don't have enough money you can use my suggestion and start a side hustle or a business i.e. making money and then you can afford it without convincing your parents like if you like this comment.

    To be completely honest, some students will buy things like expensive iMacs and then complain that college life is too expensive.

      Fair, but also the difference between two computers (say $999 vs $1299) is relatively minuscule compared to tuition and board which can be tens of thousands of dollars.
