the right Tablet PC?
One of the perks of having a real job is having some real money. I am trying to use my money wisely, and as such there are only 2 things i8 am buying this summer an mp3 player (check) and a laptop. I have decided that a Tablet PC is the way to go for me. I aim to eliminate paper from my life entirely by the time i turn 20 in april. This is no meager task but i think that by doing this i will increase my efficiency greatly, mostly because i won't lose as much stuff, and i will be super cool from all my nerdyness.
I am currently considering the IBM X41 ThinkPad. It is pretty awesome. In fact it features an embedded fingerprint scanner that i read about in popular science last year. Very snappy. The only thing it really lacks is an optical drive, but that saves on weight and battery life.

I have never owned a laptop.
I delve into the unknown! (and such)

If I didn't know how much better Macs are, I'd totally buy another IBM. They're among the best PCs, along with Toshiba.
Woot. I agree. Don't let Dad try and bully you into getting a desktop. Laptops are brilliantly useful, and assuming you're careful no one will steal it (that was what he kept ooga-booga-ing when I was buying my laptop my frosh year). Oh yeah, Dells blow, but you knew that.
