I wish I'd had a tablet instead of a laptop when I was in school-- so portable and easy to take notes on or even record lectures with the right app. A lot of textbooks are now available in Kindle or other ebook formats now too-- and MUCH cheaper than actual books (and not as heavy!) I'm using all e-texts for the classes I teach now. It's so convenient and my students actually will READ their assignments!
I know you can often get the small (7") Android tablets for less than $100 USD at BigLots here in the US. I managed to get a surprisingly nice one with a video camera, Androud 4.0, and a micro SD port on sale for $89 last month. (Reg price was only $99.) they almost never have them on display, but I nagged and hounded the store manager until he brought one out if the stockroom to prove they weren't doing an illegal bait-and-switch and I grabbed it and bought it before he could put it back!! |
