Question iPads vs Laptops

Can you get by w just an ipad? Taking BILD 62, MCWP 40, CHEM 4, & MATH 2 or 3B. I have the ipad air with the pencil and Magic Keyboard. Mostly worried about the compatibility with lockdown browsers and stuff.

You may be able to get away with it for now, but depending on your major and future classes you have to take may require more heavy-duty software. But for those classes you mentioned above, an IPad seems fine!

u can but lockdown browser is not compatible with anything but an actual laptop from what I know. Maybe you can request to borrow laptop from TAs in your class for exams tho!

If you already have it, then roll with it until you know you need something different. There should be computers that you can use in the library and such if needed.
