If you're going to school I absolutely have to recommend a tablet + OneNote. There was no better learning tool while I was in school. I still refer back to those notes several years later. Being able to jot notes on top of pages from class, record audio from classes that's automatically transcribed, just makes staying organized so much easier.
Fuck Microsoft and Dell and a dozen other companies but to my knowledge, there is nothing comparable. Unless it's an iPad or something.
If you go to engineering school, you'll need a computer eventually to run various software. I'm not sure about other degrees however.
I don't understand why you're telling me this. Are you under the impression that a tablet is not a computer?
A tablet doesn't cover all use cases for college work, but I suppose with the push for cloud computer instances this could actually work.
A tablet is nothing more than a computer with a detachable keyboard... What does it not cover?
A table is typically an ARM based platform, so using MS products like visual studio can be a challenge, but there are web versions that help.
I think video encoding isn't too polished on tablets as it is on a Linux/Windows PC .
I don't know all the use cases where a table doesn't work, but they do exist.
No, it is absolutely not...
Which ones are not arm ? I know the surface is a good example.
Most of them? Ever heard of a Surface Pro? The new Minisforum V3? Lenovo makes them. Dell makes them. etc. etc.
Yep, I'm familiar with the surface, but not other options. I need to check these out as I've been looking for a replacement for my laptop that isn't really suited for the video encoding I'm doing.
Thanks.
The Minisforum has had some solid reviews and also has good Linux compatibility, if that interests you at all.
