[quote name='DarthPuma']What kind of work will you be doing at school?
I don't really get why people recommend netbooks to people that will be doing work on them. I would much rather have a full keyboard and a decent screen if I'm typing a 20 page essay than the little keyboard and screen of a netbook.
They really aren't THAT much cheaper than a full sized either. You can get a decent enough laptop for 400-450 easily.[/quote]
Yeah, that's another argument against netbooks. They get uncomfortable to use after awhile. I'll most likely be spending a lot of time on my computer since it'll be with me in class, and I'll be in class from like 8-4 M-F, and whatever extra time I'm on it doing powerpoint presentations and looking through notes. I'm pretty dead set on getting a tablet though. Just don't know which brand to get. I'm looking at Lenovo, Fujitsu, and Toshiba right now. I will never buy an HP/Compaq, and I heard Dells aren't that good either, so I'll probably stay away from those too.
