BTW, foghat, any of the better tablets can replace a binder for school. Coupled with a good stylus or a keyboard, whatever your preference. I have been taking notes on my iPad exclusively since the first one. Noteshelf is my preferred app for that.
The main reason I am looking for my son is due to some fine motor skill issues leading to some pretty atrocious and slow printing - so stylus, maybe not so much.

OneNote can just be so intuitively organized, just like a binder with tabs. Easily create templates that offer a good starting point each day - customized per class. Not suggesting there aren't iOS apps that can do similar - I really don't know.

Plus he uses other office apps for school. I'm sure could make due with something else, but having Office, coupled with an OS designed for touch and keyboard makes Surface a pretty compelling option for us. Not to mention I find the lack of arrow keys on my iOS devices infuriating.
