kids bring laptops to class?

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.



But most laptops are troublesome to use while moving around or standing up, due to the center of balance. If you need to pull it out briefly to check something for a friend or to quickly jot something down (which I’ve done plenty of times), it’s great. Also in certain situations the pen is way better than a touchpad could ever be.

Also, my Toshiba R15 has a bright, 14.1" screen, with a decent battery life. Even when I need to keep it on, it never gets so hot it messes up.
