If I had law school to do all over again, I'd get an iPad or an iPad Pro. I love mine, and do all my work on it. Both Word and Pages work beautifully on it, you can export in both Word and PDF from either app, and Pages takes dictation beautifully. VoiceOver works beautifully for legal research, and lets me read 1000+-page files comfortably. And, as a bonus, you don't have to keep memorizing new key combination commands. And you're not chained to a desk.
I used JAWS for years and years, and felt like a hostage every time an  upgrade to the software was needed. Apple builds speech right into its operating systems. And the KNFB Reader app lets you scan what you can't get online.
Lastly, if that isn't clear and convincing evidence in the iPads favor, think of the bar review. I recently took the UBE (my second bar exam) using a course called BarMax, taught completely on the iPad, and passed right out of the box. And I could study outside or at Starbucks!
I rest my case.
