<p>Hello!</p>
<p>How convenient is it for using both laptop and tablet in college?</p>
<p>If you’re interested in using both a laptop and a tablet, you could consider getting a convertible laptop (either one where the monitor detaches and becomes a tablet, or one where the screen twists or flips so that you can use your laptop like a tablet). I’ve never used one personally, but it may be easier than switching out between a laptop and a tablet.</p>
<p>I used a combination between a tablet and a laptop during my last two years in college, and it worked out great for me. I ended up getting a keyboard and a stylus for my tablet and I used it like a netbook to take notes during class. It was great because I could type or handwrite notes depending on which was more convenient (or mix and match during class without too much hassle), and I used my tablet to write on provided slides or read and mark up papers or articles, instead of printing anything out. I used my laptop when I was at home or for running applications that my tablet couldn’t do. I also used dropbox to sync everything so I had my notes or readings on my computer or phone whenever I needed to check something.</p>
<p>The system worked out well for me, and I liked going pretty much paperless. It reduced the clutter of printing out slides or papers, and it made it a lot easier to keep my notes in case I wanted to refer to them later, instead of storing stacks of papers.</p>
<p>I have a dell laptop and a kindle fire tablet and I find it useful to have them both at my disposal for various things. There are times when it is much easier to carry around and do things on my tablet as opposed to my laptop. So I am glad that I have both. @baktrax suggestion may be the best for you. I paid $500 for my laptop and $200 for my tablet. If you can find a cheaper convertible laptop, I would get that.</p>
