If you tell us all the things you do with the iPad you have with you, we may be able to tell how helpful it is and that you absolutely need it.
If you do nothing with your iPad it's a much more difficult story to not let your Dad use it.

I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note II smartphone or phablet, whatever you call it! I've even got an iPad 2 with me. Now my question is that will an iPad, in any way supplement or complement the Note II? Or is the Note II enough for me. I'm a 11th standard student, so please tell me which is better for me or is both helpful to me? If I can evaluate one of them, then which one? Because my Dad's ready to take the iPad if I don't want it! I don't want to lose something good, but I really don't know if its gonna be useful!
Please help me!! Thanks in advance!!
