But how do you decide between the two if your school doesn&#039;t choose one for you? Let&#039;s break down the key differences! \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n<p><!-- No se inyectan anuncios debido al modo Sin Anuncios. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"chromebooks-son-mas-accesibles\">Chromebooks Are More Affordable<\/h2>\n<p>The base model iPad starts at around $1,350, though with an education discount it can be as low as $1,330. That&#039;s a fantastic price considering what even the most basic iPad offers! However, it&#039;s significantly more than the cheapest Chromebooks. \ud83d\udcb8<\/p>\n<p>In our selection of the best budget Chromebooks, there are several great options for under $1, and when you have to buy more than one device, that price difference can be significant! \ud83d\udcca<\/p>\n<div id=\"1f26-47fb-acd1077a8ff2\" class=\"display-card tag large no-badge active-content\" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h2 id=\"chromebooks-vienen-con-teclado\">Chromebooks Come With a Keyboard<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Chromebook-vs-iPad-\u00bfCual-es-Mejor-para-los-Estudiantes.jpg\" alt=\"The Acer Chromebook in use\" width=\"2100\" height=\"1400\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Chromebook-vs-iPad-\u00bfCual-es-Mejor-para-los-Estudiantes.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<p>Chromebooks are laptops. You can buy a Chromebook in a traditional laptop format, although there are also convertible Chromebooks that resemble tablets. In either case, the keyboard and a pointing device like a touchpad are included in the price of a Chromebook. \ud83d\udcbb<\/p>\n<p>In the case of the iPad, you&#039;ll need to spend extra money to purchase a keyboard and (optionally) a mouse. While there are some types of students who don&#039;t really require a keyboard for their studies, in most cases, students need to type a lot, and a touchscreen isn&#039;t the best option for that. \u270d\ufe0f<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"chromebooks-ruggedizados\">There are Rugged Chromebooks<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1737423626_397_Chromebook-vs-iPad-\u00bfCual-es-Mejor-para-los-Estudiantes.jpg\" alt=\"A woman holding an ASUS Chromebook tablet in her hand during a class.\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1737423626_397_Chromebook-vs-iPad-\u00bfCual-es-Mejor-para-los-Estudiantes.jpg\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">ASUS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I want to clarify that I&#039;ve dropped more iPads than I&#039;d like to admit, and they all survived with little more than a couple of scratches. \ud83d\ude48 That said, there are Chromebooks that have been specifically designed to be rugged for educational use, and it stands to reason that they&#039;ll withstand a lot more punishment than simply dropping an iPad off a table once a year. \ud83d\udcaa<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you can buy rugged cases for iPads, but in my experience, this significantly hinders the device&#039;s usability compared to a Chromebook, which has been designed from the ground up to withstand rough use. The key here depends on the type of student, of course. A college freshman is expected to take care of an expensive device, while a fifth-grader might be less cautious. \ud83d\udcda<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ipads-rinden-mejor\">iPads Perform Better<\/h2>\n<p>Even the cheapest iPad offers performance that exceeds what students will likely need with the 99%. The A14 Bionic chip in the 10th-gen iPad comes from the iPhone 12, and it&#039;s hard to argue that this flagship chip can handle almost any task. \ud83d\ude0d Though, for the same money, you&#039;ll likely get a slower CPU and inferior graphics performance on the Chromebook side.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you spend <em>further<\/em> For more money than an iPad, you can get a Chromebook with considerably more powerful performance. However, I feel pretty confident in saying that the entry-level iPad offers better value than most Chromebooks. \ud83d\udcbc<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ipads-son-mejores-para-tareas-creativas\">iPads Are Better for Creative Tasks<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1737423628_274_Chromebook-vs-iPad-\u00bfCual-es-Mejor-para-los-Estudiantes.png\" alt=\"Woman using a red Apple iPad.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-image-id=\"309026\" data-mobile-optimized=\"true\" title=\"\"><\/h2>\n<p>Si tu estudiante necesita dibujar, editar videos, trabajar con sonido, m\u00fasica o cualquier otro tipo de contenido creativo, entonces en general, el iPad es la mejor opci\u00f3n.

They have good Wi-Fi hardware, and the way they&#039;re designed makes them easier to use without a flat surface like a desk.
