Besides longer battery life, and lack of usb ports, is there anything I should keep in mind when deciding to buy a tablet or a laptop? I'm leaning to buy a tablet, but I wanna know if I should go for the laptop.
Planning on using it mainly for reading and writing down.

If reading and writing is your usecase, you'll get better battery life and usability out of the tablet. Apple pen in particular is fucking awesome. Get a keyboard case and you're most of the way there.
If you want to do literally anything else, get a laptop.

A laptop is a content creation device. A tablet is a content consumption device. Decide what you're going to use it for.
A laptop will always be far more versatile, especially if you're using it for school like it sounds. A lot of students fall for the meme that they can basically do all the same things in a tablet for class that they can do in a laptop for a whole lot less money, but you have to go through a lot of cognitive dissonance in setting up things that work similarly. Personally, I like having all my textbooks [strike]pirated[/strike] on a cheap tablet as its a little more natural to read from. Even if you get a Bluetooth keyboard you have to get used to the very unergonomic process of reaching for the screen every time you need to so much as shift the cursor back or change a format setting.
If you think you'll be writing or taking notes more, a laptop will be far more efficient. If you're doing more reading, consider just having a paper notepad to write on nearby. Never ever make a tablet your main computer.
