I disagree about using an iPad. It’s just not as intuitive for the school work you might need it for. I just got a 2022 mb air m2 (on sale at Costco for 849) and love it

iPad is more limited in features and screen size and also, more fragile.

Can confirm this, I much prefer doing my schoolwork on my MacBook. Would protest if I had to do it on a iPad. Plus using a laptop with an actual “desktop” environment will set you up for the future!!
