I am getting a new laptop for medical school, and was wondering if the new tablet pcs (hp) would be helpful for taking notes in class?

I used a tablet. It made me more likely to follow notes, and made .ppt files easy to write on. .pdfs are harder, you have to have a real version of it, or print into OneNote or GoBinder. Whatever you would like to do.
I rarely use the tablet functionality anymore though, sometimes for surfing the web. I can't stand the text recognition though.
I have a Lenovo X41 tablet. LOVE IT. I can highlight, make notes, draw, circle, clip from powerpoints to onenote or MSWord or GoBinder. Different colors of pens, different thicknesses, different highlighters at the touch of a button. And it's really handy to pass it around if you're doing a team project.
There is a pen/marker tool that shows up in the bottom left (with 2003), along with the arrows and other things.How do you directly write on PPT's? Do you have to select some tool? I've been trying to figure this out, not that I've tried very hard.
They write on paper? You take notes on your laptop - but the tablet (not a slate, mind you) has a keyboard and functions just like a laptop... they don't use their computer at all?
sorry - not meaning to come off as pissy, just confused. I don't think I can comprehend of going back to pencil/paper when I can type and draw on my computer screen. Of course, if you aren't required to go to class (I may try this next semester) then you may indeed not need notes.
