I'll be entering university this aug. Still deciding whether to choose smu or ntu to study. Is it advisable to get a notebook?
-
if u got the $$ why not....
PS > personally i dont like notebooks cos they are a waste of $$...more expensive and limited lifespan than a PC -
If no need, then don't get. Everyday lug books and laptops, heavy you know.
-
depend on what course u are taking

if u are staying in hall, definately u will need to buy one.
else, is not really a must, as there are plenty of computers in ntu to use. thou' it will be more convenient to have one, as there will be group project, presentation & FYP.
but of cos, it also depend on which course u are gng. -
Yes, better to get one cos u need for project work.
Get one when you register at the uni. All the computer firms will be at the Sports Complex, usually have special offers.
I bought an Apple computer, get free ipod & at special price. -
It is a necessity.
For asignments, projects, reports, research, etc.
Sometime comp labs are all full during peak periods. -
yes.
go poly also hav to get notebook. go uni get a notebook will definitely be useful.
also depends on wad course u going bah. haha.... -
if u r going to hand ard in campus a lot, get one.
if u the type appear once in a while, then no bah~~~~

Why not wait till u go NTU, go check and see if you could buy the NB there at a cheaper price ? you're not in a hurry to buy ,right? On the meantime, go see look look and check out the price and configuration of the NB in SL.
-
No hurry la...see what school has to offer.
And definitely, see whether you require it! If you dun think u're gonna hang in school to do projects/work/assignments, why do u need it when u can get a desktop which is much more power at the same price?
-
I'm eyeing on the sony vaio models. Will NTU have them?
-
So late haven confirm going which uni meh? NTU normally got sales for the cheaper models only so specs not that good one..Honestly i think notebook is more of a want than a need since ntu got so many computer terminals everywhere..But i will be getting one too
-
or get a desktop n put at hostel lor.....if u staying at hall.
-
Having a notebook does help to a certain extent, esp when you have some discipline... You get to do some work during some free time, and you don't have to squeeze in a comp lab with 3 or 4 project mates in one terminal...
I do refrain from installing games onto my laptop and heck, I don't even have much mp3s on my laptop (got my trusty ipod and when I'm at home, I stream from my desktop)
The only downside is that you tend to break out your lappie and go to places like miniclip when the lecture gets boring -
I prefer the simple notebook - the paper one u write on with a pen . Mine crashed and I lost my work before...so pen and paper the way to go.
I would not worry about a computer unless you are in engineering or computing.
If you want to take notes, write . No one can type faster than they write unless they are those court clerks which type transcripts.
