College Computer Question

[Echo 7-7]

Don't buy Dell. Their customer service is hideous. If you're going to buy a more powerful laptop, HP or Asus probably have more reasonably priced alternatives. Beefing up your tower is a good idea, particularly for gaming.

Sorry, I don't actually know about tablets that much, but it really depends on how comfortable you are with writing on one. If you have any friends or family with that sort of device, you should see if you can borrow it and try it for yourself. If you end up hating the touchscreen, it won't have been worth the extra cost. It also depends on the subjects you're taking at college; if you're studying more science/maths/engineering courses, typing won't always be adequate for note-taking if you're encountering mathematical formulae, equations, sketching graphs and so on (which is wear a touch screen and/or stylus could help). However, if you're focussing more on the humanities, a regular keyboard may just be faster and easier to use.
