Many students and teachers prefer having a built-in physical keyboard, and schools like the easy setup and features that come with Chromebooks. From a user's perspective, I know I am guilty of getting distracted while on handheld devices like smartphones and tablets. With apps just a few finger movements away, it may be hard to stay on task, especially for the students in younger age groups. I know, I know, the new iPad is compatible with external keyboards, but do you think it's worth it to purchase accessories separately in order to use the iPad to its full capacity? On average, Chromebooks cost about $300. Meanwhile the new iPad sells for $329, and with the cheapest stylus ($49) and keyboard ($99) the price goes up to about $479. Which device seems like the best fit for completing school- or work-related tasks? Let us know your thoughts in the poll below.
