hey hey,

would a tablet be better for school compared to a notebook? can a tablet replace paper and pen?
any recommendations from the listed laptops?

although lenovo notebooks are cheaper and lighter, their design is rather uncle-ish.. huge turn off.

Fujitsu laptops

* Fujitsu LifeBook S6421BS
* Fujitsu LifeBook S6420WS
* Fujitsu LifeBook 6520WS
* Fujitsu LifeBook L1010WS/BS


Lenovo laptops

* Lenovo ThinkPad X200
* Lenovo ThinkPad T400
* Lenovo ThinkPad R400


Tablets

* Fujitsu LifeBook T5010
* Lenovo ThinkPad X200T


more details in link below.

what will the laptop be mainly used for? etc programming, doing presentation etc etc..

Upgraded X200 or T400. Skip the tablets. And trust me, if ThinkPads are any chic, they will lose tons of customers.

I think Fujitsu LifeBook 6520WS is the best: same screen size as T400 but better size and weight (6520WS 1.7 kg vs. T400 1.9 kg)

6520WS as its lighter.

Unless you really wanna save some bucks then T400.

Definitely tablet... IF THEY ALL COST THE SAME. (What are you, stupid?) Trouble is they charge premium for touchscreens. When you find them cheap in the market they're always second[fingered] (notice "finger" instead of hand, got double meaning wan) and comes with Nvidia (nekketsu) 6150.

all i know is that lenovo is touch screen while fujitsu one has to use the stylus..

i dunno how true this is but writing on a tablet sounds like a good idea but you'll have to try on the laptop yourself first.
see if it's comfortable for you to write on the tablet first before buying it.

just my 2cent

referring to the thinkpad series. cause some of my seniors were saying that although it doesnt look appealing, the inside is gooood. would fujitsu one be as durable?

i went to try it during the roadshow.. seems doable. but to me, roadshow experience not very realistic... so need to get some more advice. hah.
