If you go to engineering school, you'll need a computer eventually to run various software. I'm not sure about other degrees however.
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 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.
Which ones are not arm ? I know the surface is a good example.
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.
