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.

Well, first, I'm a "she." Second, I teach a course in how to get to the top 5% of your law school class without over-studying. I also worked full time while going to law school. Work was 6am-2:30pm every weekday, law school was 3pm-10pm every weekday. I had weekends only to read and study.
I think it's lovely that your profs are nice about allowing you to type (or do whatever) on your notebook pcs. I wish you a lot of luck getting to the top of your respective classes. I did it, and have taught others how to do it ... and I would not recommend taking down every word the prof says, or trying to remember each and every bit of code or case citation. But again, I happen to believe that a good law student, and a good attorney, is someone who has learned to do the analysis rather than someone who simply can memorize everything.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm out of this thread. I've got an article to write and a lot of client work to do.
