Do students bring laptops to every class?

<p>OK so rather than start my own thread, I think I am going to leech onto this one. :)</p>

<p>Pretty much everyone says they have a notebook or laptop. Does anyone have or use a pen-tab notebook (especially in engineering). I have a cousin who goes to Virginia Tech who is in mechanical engineering, and he said that everyone there uses a pen-tab, and that it is the best thing ever. It keeps all his notes organized and allows him to take notes quickly for humanities classes, but also write out equations and formulas for his engineering classes. So I know they are expensive, but I think getting one would be a worthy investment for someone who is prone to disorganization like me. Any second thoughts on that?</p>
