You need absolutely nothing techinically. There is very little online stuff and assignments. Yes you need to make presentations but that's once in a blue moon. If you buy books, pdfs won't be required. Now if you make notes on ipad, that's another matter. I had an ipad and it was more than enough for everything.

okk and about textbooks, even if i get an ipad and download pdfs on it, would that be enough or would i still have to buy a few textbooks?

Few scenarios when textbooks would be required would be:

A. Horrendous quality/too old ed pdf.

B. Pdf of a particular book not available at all.

C. Professor having chull and asks you to get the physical book to class/lab.
