Good for school? Does this convertible tablet have a good note program that is touch-friendly?

It has the ability to have MS office on it, or a less aggressive free program call open office, which you can get on the internet. Either of those would work really well for taking notes. It is absolutely perfect for taking notes. You will want to keep in mind that it is a smaller keyboard because it's a netbook. But if you have average sized hands, you shouldn't have any trouble. I really like mine, but my hands are just too big.

No it's not a touch screen. It's a okay laptop for writing or any small home use. I use it for writing. Hope this was helpful.

This computer is a replacement for a desktop! In that arena it's an excellant choice for a student. It will not last as a daily laptop for battery use in class & at a study hall. If you are the type that uses a tablet for class & library notes to be transferred to a thesis this would be perfect. Decided if you're a single machine student then no. A student who wants the best from their education then this is the main cog you need!

Assuming the online whiteboard will support the software - and since my computer seems to just take the tablet to be another pointer device like my mouse, I can't imagine that it wouldn't - yes, it will work just fine. I've actually used mine for working math problems and chemistry problems in OneNote.

No... So far I'm still using Office on my desktop - still debating whether to put it on the tablet. I'm inclined to go ahead since I want to use OneNote and a screencaster to produce Kahn Academy-like instructional videos.

Not necessarily. It's a soft point tip that compresses on touch. Really the only tablet with high precision would be the note due to its calibrated own. But this is nice to simply use to navigate through Web pages etc. It does work slightly better than your finger, but not for writing due to the soft tip.

While it is not as large as its name might suggest" Schoolhouse, I can use it comfortably with my 15" MacBook Pro, and when taking notes via pen and paper from a book, it is also adequate. If you use an open text book, and put your notepad on the opposite page, you should be okay. But it you are looking for a larger, desk-size surface for an open text on one side and a note book on the other, this will not meet your needs. Hope this helps.

I would have to say yes, although I'm just an art student, so I'm still in learning, however, even so, I do like this tablet. Especially because of the smaller version of the big 24hd. As an art student, I have to carry it for work to school and back, so it's perfect for me. Even for home I simply love it. It's comfortable to work on it on a table, or on your lap, or however you want. Good luck with your choice! :)

It has some issues. The touchpad stops working sometimes apparently without any reason. Also it gets very slow sometimes, hopefully that's because of windows so it could be fixed with an update. I'd say it's good for a student, my question would be, What kind of student? what software are you using? FYI, it can run autocad and solidworks well...

Note = phone, tab = tablet :]Tablet is probably more capable, but I don't own the note and don't use my tablet for drawing. Sorry if I'm wrong. Definitely Google it just to be sure!

Nope! But other then that it's not a bad little computer for a kid. I bought it for my 8 year olds birthday. It's good as a learning computer for kids. It's more of a tablet, but shaped like a computer.

Absolutely perfect for school - Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, OneNote, Excel and PowerPoint) are included at no charge and update to the most current version. OneNote is perfect for all your drafts and class notes! Everything can be set to save automatically to the cloud (OneDrive) whenever you're on WiFi. All of your research and class needs should be met. There are free apps for Adobe Acrobat (PDF) and PDF markup. And there are a variety of fun & useful apps.

Yes, there are apps for that. The key is to recognize that the amount of memory is limited, and installing too many games or other apps will make it perform poorly. For a single purpose tablet, (ie. Kids to play, adults to i Se for remote email, etc) this works great. If speed is a big issue, spend the money and get something more robust. This has worked out well for my middle school aged daughter.

It could be a good highschool laptop - the price is excellent. You would need to purchase Microsoft office 365 to get Word, Power Point, Excel. It is a big screen - 15.6 inches wide - but not heavy. Could go in your backpack to school with you. Good battery life. Hope that helps...

I really dont know. I really don't recommend this tablet at all (even for 6 year kid). Too too slow. Not app friendly. Resolution is beyond terrible. Save yoy mony or spend few more dollars and get dual core tablet with at least 1G ram. BTW I am buying another tablet because I trashed my IB tablet. .

I don't do any programming. But I do use lots of Microsoft Office and it works great for that. I do a LOT of internet browsing and research for school and have not had any problems and have had it just about a year. Overall I would recommend; although sometimes the trackpad (the mouse) has some glitches. But usually they are fixed by restarting the computer.
