yeah i know, but i accidentally dropped my laptop the other day and the hinges which connects the screen broke. I have to put my screen against the wall or else it tilts down.

i actually asked during the lunch, apparently a good number of our upper classmen used macs/tablet pcs. macs arent so bad, especially since you cna windows boot anyway (and get a useful two button mouse as opposed to that stinky 1 button). the tablet is supposed to be useful for pdfs and such with microsoft onenote, i have two lying around at home and i never liked them when i used them 🙁

thats what i thought. you could add your own notes and all, but i dont wanna spend the extra few hundreds if im not gonna be using that feature often. How is battery life on it? and is the screen really fragile on the tablets?
 
i guess we should put a reminder at top of each page.

One weird thing I noticed when I tried to use the NYU discount for Dell Laptops was the original price increased so that the discount would cancel out. So in the end, the NYU discount didn't really take any money off.

the batt life is ok, the tablet pc is a motioncomputing (brand dell owns/owned when it was purchased). it lasts like 1.5 to 2 hours with moderate use and its been like 4-5 years since then. the screen is also pretty tough but you gotta be careful using it, just dont smash the stylus into the screen and you're pretty much fine. the writing on the screen is kinda like palm style except better. it takes some getting used to tho, so prolly get it before you intend to use it heavily.

Haha i feel like such a technology dud... okay this is my problem, i go here https://start2.nyu.edu/ibin/start0.cgi and then i click on "Dont know your netID?". which brings me to the next page where i have to either enter my NYU university ID number, or social security number, both of which I don't have. This is the part that's stumping me... thanks for your help guys!

oh, yea i dont know how to help you in that case. You might wanna call the school, they probably assign you a ssn for educational purposes or give you some ID#. Once you get it, you can do the NetID and get your email set up.
 
Hey has anyone who's in the NYC area tried to see if you can get a NYU ID now and start advantage of the rich resource NYU has to offer? :hardy: Just wondering! Cheers you guys =)

with pcs you can get easily distracted, at least with macs you can pretend not to know how to use it. plus one button sucks, discourages you from fooling around :laugh:

Ta, but then you waste more time using the photo editing features of the mac. You know, the ones that allow you to distort everything that the built in webcam captures.😛

believe me, i wont be pretending. excuse my complete ignorance, what is this one button you are talking about?
 
do you guys think it's feasible to get a dell business laptop, and then get one of those mousepads that doubles as a writing pad to add notes onto their powerpoint slides? this way, we can get a thinner laptop than the tablet ones

One button mouse. That's what I believe the poster was referring. Back in the day Apple's thought they were geniuses and created 1-button mouses. They were difficult to use after most people learned how to use mouses with PC's. Apple has since brought out a 2-button mouse. I wouldn't use a mouse with my laptop anyway.
