<p>i need suggestions on a lap top</p>
<p>ill prob be doing biochem major</p>
<p>ill be using it for notes and for recreation</p>
<p>i will be then taking it around campus with me</p>
<p>also, what are everybody's thoughts on the tablet?</p>
<p>No need to post this in the pre-med forum. Any laptop will do.</p>
<p>Which tablet are you referring to?</p>
<p>Also, unless you really like the tablet form factor and can deal with the technology as it exists now, a laptop isn’t going to be much help for science note-taking.</p>
<p>icarus can you please elaborate on the “form factor and…technology as it exists now”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Some people don’t believe its to the level its needs to be to be useful. </p>
<p>Some like it, some hate it. Go to a comp store and try it out. See if you like it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Exactly - I just don’t like the tablet form factor and don’t believe that the technology that allows you to write directly on the screen is good enough to make it worthwhile to replace pen and paper.</p>
