No ipads/tablets are never going to replace a laptop, open up google and search "hybrid tablet" that's what you need. I own a Asus transformer (im a student too, had a 17in laptop that i took to school and it was ridiculous, sold it to buy the transformer and never looked back), best thing about it is its 16 hour battery life and weighs about an eighth if the weight.
