• Some advantages of Tablet PCs for engineering students
  What advantages does a Tablet PC have over a "regular" notebook for an engineering student?
  Here are a couple:
  
  Think about taking notes in math class or sketching out a problem in a physics lab. It's doubtful you'll find it practical to type out your notes on a standard notebook. With a Tablet PC you can stay digital and handwrite your work on the Tablet PC. Yes, you could use paper instead, but digital notes are searchable and a whole lot easier to share electronically. Let's say it's midnight, the night before an exam and you _really_ need the class notes for one of the days which you were absent. Believe me, you'll be a whole lot happier if your classmate has digital notes that they can email right over versus paper ones they'll have to photocopy and you'll have to run over to get.
  
  Or what if you're stuck on a math problem? With a Tablet PC you'll be able to IM your handwritten work to a classmate to get some help or maybe you'll open a shared page in OneNote and work out the problem together. Try explaining the problem over the phone or in a text-only chat session instead.
