Should I get a macbook air or an iPad mini for school?

I am going to my first year of college this year hopefully. I want to take interior design and maybe a few other classes. Should I get a macbook air or an ipad mini?

I like the ipad mini because its light, small, I can surf the internet easily and I won't have to wait for it to start up. I was also thinking I could put all my textbooks on one tablet so I don't have to carry all my books around. I also have a stylus pen.

I was thinking a macbook air because I can take notes with it much easier with a real keyboard, I can take my notes on google docs maybe. I also feel like I can do much more with a mac than I could with an ipad.

I have never owned an Apple product except for the iPhone 3gs and 4s. The reason I was thinking of maybe possibly a mac computer was I was thinking about developing iphone and ipad apps for the app store, I figured if I can make a good enough game and sell it for $0.99 I can have a nice income coming in since I am no longer working. Idk I may not even do that yet. I just want something for school for now.

I have a windows 7 desktop at home. Thats about all I got.
Added (1). I was thinking of an ipad because I can not only use it for school for notes, my text books and everything else I need, but I can also play games and use it for a media device for when I am not at school and I am at home. I already have a desktop pc which I am on my computer 24/7. Idk I also feel an macbook air can do more things than an ipad could do. Does anybody know if I can pull up text book apps on a mac?
