I used one of these for uni for a while. The small screen is really not a barrier for just taking notes in class and the portability is so much better than a regular sized laptop (and the size makes it practically indestructible too).
It also makes for a surprisingly adequate dev environment if you get used to switching between virtual desktops for extra screen space.
Using an iPad instead of one of these would have been a total non starter[1]. If I was back at uni nowadays I'd probably just get the smallest laptop I could find with half decent battery life - funnily enough the new M1/M2 macbooks are pretty appealing, but I would love something in an even smaller form factor if possible.
[1] proper hinged lid is much nicer than a keyboard case with a kickstand, I need to be able to compile code and run arbitrary executables.
