I figure if I'm going to have to write assignments again

That seems very expensive
Considering you can buy more powerful laptops for less (unless I'm missing something).

It is expensive
but it's pretty, it's very fast, it's very light and the same size as a macbook so I can cart it to/from lectures on the bus/bike etc easily, and I've had Sony laptops for years and they're incredibly reliable.

But mostly I like the colour.

would a macbook not be a similar price?

Christ no, they're probably half that again for a similar spec
I also can't abide using them. Ipods are fine but all macs induce in me is rage and hatred.

Don't preach to me
I know all about your 'red cars go faster' theory.

Red cars do go faster
Red laptops do not. Also, Sony pilfer their electronics from Samsung. You're paying over the odds for a badge.

Sony kit is rather beterr quality usually, so I suspect you are full of shit.

There are some tablets which can be adapted with a keyboard
essentially making them a netbook.
I love my laptop, and I wouldn't want to do away with it at all, but the ipad is nicely portable. Well, considering I go everywhere with a huge handbag, it is.

I don't know how much use I'd get from a tablet.

You
won't get much use from a tablet if you shove it up yer arse. That's suppositories, or Tories, for short.
