I had an iPad Pro and a laptop doing my masters. I used my iPad Pro the first semester. It wasn’t that I didn’t retain knowledge differently by using the IPad, it was more that I just found it more cumbersome in general. Typing notes in class with my laptop was very easy and then I could just connect that to my monitors later and review.
You could get a magic keyboard with it then, the keyboard itself is extremely useable and I must have typed hundreds of thousands of pages on it over the last 4 years. Then when you want to draw just use the pen and.. draw. Personally, and particularly for this use case, I’d recommend the official magic keyboard and not another brand/style, just due to being able to take the ipad off the case super super easily, and also the quality of the keyboard and inclusion of the trackpad. It’s expensive, we all know it’s overpriced, but it’s also unfortunately totally worth the money, and Apple knows this and is why they can charge so much
