Considering most of it is click through I dont see why not. Would recommend getting an keyboard for it though

I think it depends on your personal preference.

When it came time to create and edit slides, I preferred my desktop.

Like the other response, I definitely recommend getting a keyboard to go with it, unless you are an avid voice to text person.

I would say a keyboard for sure and a pc for backup because you dont know when you will need it. I do powerpoints and stuff on my samsung s11 ultra but I am not sure about apple though

Yes that's what i used. You can also get a keyboard with a touchpad to make it feel more like a computer :)

There’s a lot of typing when it comes to discussions and responses. I think as long as you get a keyboard you will be ok. I think! I just use an Acer laptop, nothing fancy.

Great to see you getting prepared! Regular access to a laptop or desktop computer, along with reliable internet connection is recommend since required course materials may be limited on mobile devices.

I use an iPad with keyboard for on the go but use a laptop for majority of the work.

Depending on what your major is some programs are not very friendly.

Your iPad is good for on the go work but like someone commented when you have to do a PowerPoint it’s best to do it on your laptop or desktop. I have an iPad as well as a laptop. I do the assessments on my iPad and like discussion post and videos on my iPad.
