After my business going down the pan I'm back at uni doing another degree. I'm doing a fair amount of research as part of the assignments, so downloading lots of PDFs to read & take notes from. I'm doing a bike (5 miles) & train (40 mins) commute so it makes sense to try to make use of the time on the train as well as not having to rely on uni's IT while I'm there. I'm thinking it'd be best to get some sort of small, light device that lets me download and view PDFs as well as make notes on them. Ability to fiddle with other office stuff (PPT & XLS) would be useful, then the rest is just normal browser/email guff. Only need wireless access, no 3G.
So what's the best solution - tablet (maybe with add-on keyboard) or netbook PC? And where's the best price/performance cut off these days.
PS - I'm not an Apple fanboi so anyone who says iPad will have to do a lot of convincing.
