Hi all,
I'm applying for the 2002 matriculation. I am seriously considering buying a laptop, and I wanted to know your opinions about whether it would be useful for a student.
I am an older non-trad and I'll be commuting from home about 45-60 minutes to med school. I'm thinking that the laptop would help me to write papers, organize my notes, look up stuff, study, etc. while I commute (bus) or while I'm on campus.
There are two reasons I want to buy one soon. One is that laptop prices are about as low as I have ever seen them. I'm afraid that if the stock market comes back up, the prices will go up again. Secondly, I have money now, and I won't after I quit my job to start med school.
However, I don't want to buy one if it's not going to be useful to me as a med student. I already have a decent desktop computer at home.
Thanks!
Pam
