kids bring laptops to class?

DO NOT GET A TABLET. I have a Toshiba Portege 3505 tablet, and it is by far the worst laptop/tablet PC I have ever used. And in general, tablet PC’s are not worth the price. The pen feature is overrated. I used it the first week I got this tablet, then afterwards, I have never touched the stylus. And writing on the screen is to tedious. Sometimes the digitizer on the screen gets f**ked up too. And generally, the screens are less than 12 inches so in your case it is another negative.

It is much easier to type and faster and more efficient. Why were keyboards invented in the first place? To increase productivity. Going back to writing by hand was a dumb idea.

Now unless you are an artist who uses photoshop a lot, tablet pc’s are not worth it. Get a souped up MacBook rather than a TabletPC that has a subpar processor, dim and small screen, heating issues, and battery life issues.
