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!
