Im dyslexic and because of this I am able to choose between a free laptop, desktop or tablet pc laptop for free.

I do not know much about tablet pc's but what do you think of them and are they useful? Are they generally more expensive than a normal notebook because if i don't get on with it i could always sell it and get something different.

I would imagine in tablet form they would be good for writing, but i prefer typing and i type quicker than i write. Although it would be cool to interact with it i a different way I don't see that it would be much of an improvement over the normal way with a laptop.

What do you think, should i go for the tablet over a laptop?

Holy smokes, dyslexia comes with a free laptop!?!?!?

What are you limited to? If nothing, just get an Alienware laptop, eBay it and then buy something that's actually decent and pocket the extra money.

As for tablet/notebook... tablets are generally more expensive and have less power, and I don't think I've ever seen one with a half decent gaming configuration, but if school is your thing then it might be a better choice.

I understand wanting to type notes, but the cool thing with a tablet is you can do both. In your english classes you can type out anything, then when you get to math/science/physics where you need to use characters that you couldn't normally type easily, or draw charts or diagrams then that's where the tablet really shines.
