When were you at law school? Not one of my professors got mad when we were typing. My first semester I was the only one taking handwritten notes until I decided to bring in my laptop everyday like everyone else and take notes on my computer.
And no you don't need to be able to highlight to be able to study effectively. But then I've got amazing reading retention.

Yeah, that was my experience too, I guess Ricky's experience is different than mine, especially when he says some of his teachers get mad at laptops/netbooks ,must be in different part of country. Seemed more like high school where teachers would be upset with little kids trying to do other stuff on computers while in class. I mean , gee if you are not there to study and do everything you can to get good grades you shouldn't be there. I have never met a teacher that got mad at laptops or mp3 records, they know you are serious and not there to play.
I would pick up netbook (acer 8.9 200 dollars with 160 gig hard drive) myself cheaper and better battery life (a couple of 6 cells 5 hours a piece) and smaller, but to each his own.
