Something a little different

So, something a little different....

What EDC would you guys recommend for someone who works and have to go to college again?

there will be a lot of writting. weekly trips. i want to get an ipad for note taking, reading, netflix, web browsing... nothing to heavy but i want it to last at least for 5 years. also 11" vs 13" screen size? i want to downsize but am afraid 11" won't be comfortable for note taking?

i have apple ecosystem (ipad air 2, 2015) and i want to upgrade my iphone (currently 15 pro max) to 17 pro or maybe wait for 18 pro, but downsize the screen for sure. AWU2 natural titanium for AWU3 black. airpods max 2 along with current ipods pro 2

what would you recommend i should have for college? any good backpack available in EU? anything else?

haven't been a student for like 15 years and going back makes me wonder what i need or want...

every suggestion, advice or criticism is welcome

need a good powerbank, external SSD and whatever you guys may suggest
