for you, does an ipad make all the difference? or a laptop better in the long run (1st year)

im an incoming IE 1st yr student with a minor in cs, i'm considering buying a device that'll help me out in the first year in terms of reviews, note-taking, etc. i'm considering between an ipad first (for notes), but also go straight to a macbook/laptop instead (for future cs minor subjects/possible design subjects in yrs 3-4). i'm leaning more towards the ipad for portable studying/notetaking, but i'm worried about needing to have something on the go for possible cs subjects like a decent laptop. i have a pretty capable windows pc at home, but i'm worried there will be subjects that might require having your own laptop ready, and i can only have one at the moment. what would be better during the first year?
