I can see that there has been a lot of chatter on this topic, but my particular question has not been addressed.
I had a tablet for several years. I am a chemistry major and it was great for taking notes of equations, structures etc. However, I got fed up with windows and all associated BS, and when my tablet went kaput, I converted to a MacBook (aluminum unibody baby!). Been using it for several weeks now and it is so much better. Even with my tablet, I preferred to type my notes as opposed to hand-write them. I only used the tablet feature for classes with math, chemical structures, etc. Stuff that is impossible or a pain to type. Since I am pretty much through with those classes, I am not sweating the loss of the tablet feature.
So, my question is, how important is a tablet for someone who wants to take electronic notes. I have onenote, so if the extent of note takeing in medical school is text (as opposed to structures, formulas, etc) then I am not worried. Also, I got the impression that there is no wireless internet available? Is that true??
