Are the tablets we bought even worth it, or should we have gotten ordinary laptops instead?
Debate!

Well we dont really use the tablet function. If only we could buy our own coms but laptops were still compulsory. And there would be some macro which crashes the com when there is a game there and a big sign saying. ADDICT!

i think that either way, we will still be using com. Howevr,if we were allowed the freedom of choice, then CB and Elroy will bring in super advanced and expensive coms, which will make some of us feel inferior.

how advanced can they get? Until they dunno how ta use. Noobs. U gotta noe how ta use OSes by instinct. Based on the philosophy that they cannot differ so much from each other because if they do no human would be able to use either one because its too complicated. The noobs were asking how ta use a mac

Whats the point of a tablet (which costs about $3000 more expensive) when we just turn the screen around once or twice a semester?
And how often do we use the TPen?
Laptops would be more efficient to our ACS Lifestyle.

From an ethical point of view I think its unnecessary for us to have it. We rarely use it and our assignments can be done at home anyway. Groupwork there are com labs for that.

To debate on this properly, let us list out the pros and cons of both laptops and tablets that relate to OUR LIVES in ACS.
Anyone want to start?

You arent even suppoused to play com in class lah. Saves trips to the com lab? That would be totally illogical as a point. Look better? OMG that just makes us look rich. Digitise a lot of stuff? We have home coms for that. they can just give us the software. Thumbdrives could be the standardised item we have to buy. But I agree that the laptop is a plus.

Laptops! Laptops have MUCH MUCH MUCH HIGHER PERFORMANCE THAN A TABLET. Laptops are MUCH MUCH MUCH CHEAPER THAN A TABLET WITH HIGHER PERFORMANCE. Laptops are PRACTICAL AND SUIT OUR NEEDS BETTER THAN A TABLET. Laptops just OWN TABLETS.

disagree. For 1, higher performance? It only shows if your com lags down cos u have too many processes running behind...(like me ) or if you are doing high end things which require high end graphics, sound effects, good battery life, sensitivity of human interface hardware and good speed i.e. games which are not even suppoused to be running on the computers we have bought. Well for you maybe its a necessity cos u play fable wc3, Age of Empires and Rome TW all at one go and stil manage to fit in time to eat. More practical agreed but tablet suits us better with the dumb construction stuff which we dont use anyway so heck. Much much cheaper? What you paid for was all those white elephant heulab softwares and macromedia studio 8 which just owns but 2 bad no photoshop screw them.

U think they'll include photoshop at such a low price? Good joke. Anyway, tablets are more pratical agreed. However, they do seem a bit too fanciful at times, perhaps raising the costs a little. I feel that the tablets are underused a little bit though.
