Which is better iPad or Mac for high school students?

I just took SHSAT and my mother promise me that I will get one that I wish if I get in. I did not want to waste that wish and use it on others wastable stuff. So I was thinking that Apple device would make great studying for me in High School. I have iMac but Macbook air is portable and ipad is portable. Both of them are really good. I don't know what to choose. If you can't decide as well, please suggest what should I get. And Please do not tell me I won't go in to spealized high school because I already have a lot of stress.

MacBook Air is the best of both worlds.
The instant on and fast response of an iPad, but has the full size keyboard, full OS X and expandablity of a Mac computer.
The MacBook Air is almost as light as an iPad, but is much more flexible.

  • Discount for High school students

    I think it's really cool that college students get discount for spotify but it would be great if high school students could get the same thing , it would be amazing to being playing music wherever we want for a low price and since I find spotify better than pandora. $5 is extremely affordable for high school students and a lot would sign up for that price if that was an option

    I am 17 and currently attending highschool as a senior.
    I agree 100% $9.99 per month is kind of steep when you have a $9.10 /h job and paying for gas/insurance/food/housing/etc... I don't have anything handed to me at all. Sure my parent's will buy me a see's candy once in a while, but I am paying for most of my things now. My job pays for ~~ 90% - 95% of my necesities. that would leave me short. 
    Here is a pitch:
    Mind of a teenager ~ 10 dollars per month would add up to 120$ per year I use this.... that's a problem.
    -after the fact-
    Mind of a teenager ~ $5 per month!! omg that's only $60 per year! sure I'll pay for that.
    Honestly I would garentee you my 5$ per month if I had access to premium. $10 is just too much.
    I can tell you that I know many highschoolers who would agree with my point and say that the sales would be exponential.
    talking business:
    I would expect (based on comments and suggestions from friends and information of who I know as a highschool would also subscribe) expecting 30,000 highschoolers per small state and 50,000 highschoolers per large state.
    currently to me it seems only 5,000 or 10,000 highschoolers per state own spotify. (most people lie about information on "free sites")

    Hi,
    In addition to what Ken said, I would suggest that you give Edge Animate a shot as well.
    Creative Cloud is available as trial version for 30 days and almost all creative software is bundled with the Creative Cloud. Tutorials are included for each of the products on the respective sections of the website. For instance, this site Website builder | Download free Adobe Dreamweaver CC trial gives you access to the trial version as well as tutorials.
    I suggest that you go to http://creative.adobe.com and explore the various options available.
    For any purchase related information, feel free to send me a private message if you need further clarification. Click on my picture and use the message option. The experts on this forum can help you with other questions you have on using Creative Cloud.
    Thanks,

  • Promotion for high school students?

    Is there any promotion or sale for High School students? How does it work? Thanks.

    The back to school promotion is for college students or teachers of any grade.  The easiest way of thinking about it is that you have to be 18 to take part in pretty much any sort of sales promotion.  That rules out most high school students.

  • Flash for High School Student?

    I am an animation teacher and we might have to switch from teaching a 3D program to teaching Flash. Is this a valid program to teach high school students animation? Is this only used for gaming or is it also used in the animation world? Any recommended website references?

    flash is not a 3d modeling program. 
    it can be used to create 2d animation and to display 3d animation. 
    because of its animation capabilities, it can be used to create web, desktop and mobile games.  because of its support for a programming language (actionscript), it can be used to create web, desktop and mobile applications.
    and, my guess, is most games and apps use some programming and some of the drawing tools in flash.

  • Ipad vs. macbook for High Schooler

    Have a kid in high school who wanted to buy a macbook and saved long and hard to get one, but then decided to get a pad since he can use it for documents. He also got a Touch for Christmas. I thought this was an ok decision because he wanted to save the difference for future expenses, and the rep at apple supported this. I would really appreciate informed feedback if this was a totally ridiculous thing for him to do (we can return it and get the book)if it's really a neccessity but after reviewing all of the tutorials on ipad, I think it will serve his needs. Help?

    If he has access to another computer at home to which he can sync his iPad and do the real heavy work, and you, after educating yourself, think it will work, I'd say you're fine. It's lighter and has better battery life than a MacBook. I would never recommend it to someone who doesn't have another computer but as a portable adjunct, it's fantastic.

  • Is Mac a good computer for high school students

    I was wondering if the MacBook Pro 13 inch would be a good notebook for me to have juring highschool and college

    Yes if you don't mind the high glossy screen which is hard to see in class/outside and don't want to 3D game.
    However if you want to see the screen while outside and under lights, windows etc., which you can't control, and/or 3D game, then the 15" anti-glare non-Retina is your model.
    Also the 15" should last longer with it's more powerful dedicated graphics chip, less heat than the 13" too.
    Less heat, less inhaled dust clogging up the machine causing it to die faster.

  • Ipad for High school

    What iPad is best for high school?
    Reqirements: Not Allowed iPad Mini must be full sized, 4th Gen or air, runs IOS 7 apps (Compatible with IOS 7) Fast internet browsing.
    What Sized GB is recomended?
    P.S Mac 1 Site is a place for purchasing, wollongong.  http://www.mac1.com.au/
    Thankyou, Domi24

    What type of school are you going for; what are the requirements you are going to be allowed to run. How long are you keeping the iPad?
    If it's light use and only for research purposes, a low GB would be fine
    If you plan to use it to store content and school related infomation a 32 may be needed
    If you need to create videos; or store larger files 64GB
    128? That's heavy use....Need more details on WHAT YOU need.

    Both a Mac or a PC can be reliable.  I have a 6 year old PC laptop.

    The 3/4G iPads are Verizon or ATT. You choose which one you want when you buy the iPad. It can't be changed.

  • Macbook or iPad for High School?

    I can't decide whether to get a macbook air or iPad for high school. (Sorry I didn't know what 'community' to put this in)

    If you have a full computer at home you can use, then an iPad would probably be a great adjunct; highly portable, fine for taking notes, doing email, doing research on the web, etc. If you don't have a computer at home now, then I'd recommend a MacBook, either the Air or the Pro. An iPad is a fine device but there are many things you can do on a full computer that you can't do, or can't do efficiently, on an iPad.
    Regards.

  • Pro vs Air for high school?

    Hi, I'm currently in year 10 and my new school has a 'bring your Own device' program. Im considering the MacBook Pro or Air but am undecided. I like the fact th air is light, as I will have to carry it around. I also need a long battery life, for school. I want to be able to do my research and school work and well as social things like Facebook and music etc. I'm leaning more to the air but the more I read around the more confused I get. I would like to be able to use it until I finish school, maybe even into university years. Any advice on which to choose would be muchly appreciated!

    either one is fine for high school.  it's a personal preference at this point.  however, if you have some idea what you would like to major in when you go to college/university-then which one you chose may make a difference.  For example, a base model Air would be fine for an English major, but a base model Air would be inappropriate for someone majoring in Architecture or Engineering.
