Scholl On-campus internet

[Tiggles]

So I'm thinking about upgrading my tablet to Windows Vista (better handwritting recognition and such), but the build I want is Home Premium, which does not have domain support.

Does anyone use XP Home edition (or Vista Home P) on their laptop on campus and can still use wi-fi/internet? I would hope it's not domain-based, but something like authenticated with like a netID/pw...

what kind of tablet did you get?

I went with the HP TC4400 tablet. It was on-par w\ the Toshiba M400 tablet, but had less problems/better support from what I've heard, and Lenovo Thinkpad x61t's were just too expensive. Also, the fan noise isn't as bad on a tc4400 than the m400.

I opt'd to get one w\ a wacom digitizer screen (better for notetaking) than something like the HP tx1000us series, which only has a touchscreen and I have heard numerous things about how it is definitely not suited for taking notes/writing for long periods of time.

i went with the toshiba M400. I LOVE IT. i'm not having any problems with loud fan noises or problems. plus, i have my own technical support, my husband. he's an IT guru of sorts. He will be in charge of an IT dept at his new job in IL.

i love the OneNote feature. it recognizes my handwriting with no training at all. i already started setting up my notebooks and tabs. do you have the onenote feature.

The M400 is nice, I like how the screen/pen is a little more textured, giving the stylus a nice 'pen-on-paper' feel. And I guess i'm a 1-man IT unit, as I'm currently a junior computer specialist at the BioE dept. of U. of Wash. Hope your husband enjoys his new job, and maybe doesn't have much to do like I am now, browsing forums on work

Yeah, I love onenote, what a great new feature to the office family for me! perfect integration with the rest of the office suite (if you have the same version/year, I have all 2007 new stuff now). Although, I use crappy, non-cursive, weird print, I think it would help to have a little better handwritting recognition w\ vista's new built-in features.

yeah, i just got it delivered on tuesday. So it has all the new stuff. it did however have a bunch a crap i don't use uploaded already. my husband cleaned it all off. i got vista uploaded. it looks different from what i am used to, though. my husband had it on his desktop and i have been whining about him putting it on my old laptop. but it's on my new one so i'm happy now.

i like how i can take screen shots from the internet and drop them into OneNote and also my emails, too.

it's pretty neat. I like anything that deals with organization and compartmentalization. I'm bit of a organization freak

My husband's is always zipping around the internet looking at stuff plus, like you, he's tinkering with computers all day so you're always surfing the internet finding new toys you should see our study, he has the whole house configged for wireless. I love that since I like to "rule the world from my bed". Heaven forbid I have to get up
