Hello, my fellow OSU students!!
Ok, I have a question. I wasn't able to attend the admitted student day in March, so I'll be going to the one in June. But in the meantime, I was checking out tablet PC prices and whatnot. I wanted to ask if anyone knew of any requirements or anything like that about buying one. I'm sure any questions I have will be answered when I go, but I just wanted to price some things beforehand. If there aren't any requirements from the school, does anyone have any recommendations?

As far as I know this is what has been posted on the facebook page. Here is the info from out student site, from Chad and he has not mentioned anything about the Gateway computer. The above may be last years negotiated prices and computers.
"I have encouraged the selection of a second option to choose from, but the current negotiated deal that OSUCOM has worked out so far is for the Fujitsu LifeBook T4215 Tablet PC with the following specs:
- Intel 2GHz Core 2 Duo processor (T7200)
- Windows Vista Business Edition
- Integrated Fingerprint Sensor
- Dual Layer DVD Writer
- 1GB DDR2 RAM
- 80GB Hard Drive
- 12.1" SXGA+ TFT display
- Dual Mic Array microphone"
Justin has discovered a comparable HP that is actually a little cheaper. Here is the link for that.
