Any recommended PDAs for an entering medical student?

hmmm...

Hi, I'm making plans to start medical school next fall, and I'd like to replace my old Sony Clie with a new PDA. I've been looking at the Palm Tungsten E2 and the Palm TX as possible candidates. Can anyone in medical school or in the medical profession offer any suggestions? By the way, I have Windows Vista on my home computer if that makes a difference.

Answer
I am a current 2nd year medical student and what I recommend is to wait. The first two years are essentially all basic science, so you lug around a lot of books, notebooks and laptop for your information and you don't really need a PDA to look up facts quickly because you aren't in clinic or the hospital. (Besides, there are always computer with Internet access around). The second reason I suggest you wait is that often times the school will recommend a certain product or even have deals with manufacturers for discounts.

However, if you use the PDA for keeping your schedule and such, then if you want to upgrade, I suggest going for an integrated PDA/phone. With everything you have to carry, integration is nice. Several of my classmates use Treos, Blackberrys, HTC Tilts or even the iPhone.

Hi guys, my sister just got into med school and I want to buy her a laptop as a gift (so i can't just ask her). My budget is <$1,750. Can someone help me out?

Answer
If you spend 1500 bucks and buy the best/hottest/newest/fastest piece of junk on the market, it will be worthless in a year... So just go to the walmart and buy a new laptop for 500 bucks and tell her that if she actually "uses" the thing, and doesn't get it stolen, or lose it, or break it, then you will buy her anything she wants next year, no matter what the cost. All laptops are junk made in the same factory in china anyway...They just put the case and sticker on it for cosmetic reasons (branding).

I am thinking about getting a regular laptop or a tablet PC....what are a few pros and cons? Can someone compare and contrast? I like the idea of being able to âwriteâ my notes down on the tablet and having transformed but is the software really that good? What is the difference in weight? What is a really good brand of each? Do you use one or the other? What do you like most about it?

Answer
