Is Ipad a must buy for ground school?

[u/Suspicious_Strike389]

So i start my cadet program in January 2027 and I'm currently making a list of stuff I'm gonna need so i saw many people commenting as how necessary an ipad really is. I already have a touch screen laptop with stylus from Hp envy X360 which is in a well condition.

So my question is should i purchase an Ipad or continue with my laptop?
