University: PDA vs. Laptop
I'm a student so obviously I'm cash strapped and don't want to spend very much money. The lower the better and definately sub $1000. I realize I can't get much in the way of a laptop for $1000. (either bottom of the line or a used laptop)
I want to take what I get to school to take notes (most likely taking the bus). A PDA would be easier to transport. Then later transfer my notes onto a desktop computer at home. Also the thought of purchasing a memory card and using the PDA as an mp3 player is intriguing. Do PDA's have good sound quality (in general)?
Aside from its ease of transporting and cheaper price, a PDA gets beaten by a laptop in almost everything else (IE bigger screen, more powerful, better games (yeah :P), etc)
So my question for university and college students is, which comes in handy more, a laptop or a PDA?
