Thank you guys for the responses! Let me answer some questions first!


Are you more comfortable taking notes with pen/paper, or typing?

Buy a nice notepad and a pen, it'll save you about $300-500.
Definitely with better with typing. My handwriting is atrocious D: Plus, it's a lot faster to type in class than to write! At least for me.


The best tablets in my opinion are the ASUS Transformer and the (soon to be released) ASUS Transformer Prime. Not only do they come with a keyboard, the keyboard doubles the battery life from 8 hours to 16, and includes the USB and SD card docks for expanded memory.

i would, of the two, buy a tablet with a keyboard attachment, like the transformer prime (which has been out since december). with the keyboard attachment, you can get a full day's charge. the office apps are good enough for note taking, and you get the benefit of media consumption that a tablet offers. the prime is especially nice with ice cream sandwich and a quad core processor.

i would say to sell the laptop, and go for a macbook air or ultrabook, though. but that's still going to be pretty expensive and more than likely out of the price range given.
Mmm yes, this was basically my opinion about the tablets: That even though I dislike typing on a touch screen, if I were to go with a tablet I would definitely buy a keyboard to go with it so I can type and stuff. Although I probably would keep my laptop still because it plays games and does normal stuff that I need a laptop to do :3
==================================================

Hrm... it seems like there is a bigger pull towards a netbook (as in a majority of people for netbooks) but I'll consider both still.. Feel free to still give your opinion/thoughts/comments/critiques!

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ill stick with my Battlefield. Yea a predator hunting game like that would be cool. Esp if you can be Arnold and say "Get to da choppa"

    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Sounds like it would be an exciting ride....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure I would want something on fire between my legs
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    He ruined it basically. Sad cause it was a decent old bike. It would take more money to rewire the bike than it was worth tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I'm sure at minimum the starter was fried
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Alternator and battery
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Prob alot of fried parts. It was still smoking when I left.
    Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo: Yikes
