i'm doing b commerce-professional accounting, would i be needing to take a laptop to uni?
will it be significantly easier/faster for notes etc.? or too much effort carrying it around and what not?

For commerce subjects, i didnt need a laptop at all for notes and stuff. Your lecture notes would have most of the important points so you'd just have to scribble in some extra things if required. But if u get bored easily, you might want to bring one to entertain yourself =P

hmm okiee thnx for the reply, i might wait a few weeks into uni to see if i need one or not

doubt you'll need one for notes unless you don't print your lecture slides.

you'll prob need one to do assignments on...

I was wondering the same thing, except im doing liberal arts. I prefer to use pen and paper and typing my notes up later for extra study and better organisation. However Im worried that I might fall behind other students who are typing away on laptops.

I always use pen and paper, lecture notes stick in my brain better when i write them down. That said, i did buy myself a little net book in my second year and it has been SO helpful with assignments... now i don't know what i would do if i couldn't work on them during breaks

You won't fall behind do not worry about that.

I started taking a laptop last semester and it's pretty handy. Not that useful in things like tutorials, but it's nice to have in between classes where you can do some work outside.

What about a tablet like the iPad3 when that somes out in March?

For reading pdf's and writing notes during breaks?

My opinion is that pen and paper is as efficient as a laptop when used efficiently, so I'll definitely use pen and paper at Uni!

If your using a laptop/netbook get your hands on Microsoft Onenote, perfect for notes.
