After having built my desktop and installing Windows 8 for future-proofing reasons, I found out about this thing called OneNote and thought it might be able to replace my pen and paper approach to note-taking.
So I started researching, found the Asus Transformer books, and thought they sounded great. But when they pop their tops, they loose access to the 500GB HDD, where presumably I would have my notes stored. So that doesn't sound great.
I've decided to ask experts/people who have already researched in this field rather than do it myself.
So, if anyone can find a computer that meets these criteria, that'll help a deal.
I need it to:
- Have a touchscreen which can provide a good note-taking experience. I don't want to buy something I intend to use to take notes only to not use it because I have to write at an odd angle.
- Have an adequate amount of space (Think 500GB plus or minus.)(If it meets all other criteria though and not this, I'll definitely consider cloud storage)
- Have a battery to last me through a school day (Roughly eight hours, though I may have time to charge inbetween classes or at lunch, so 7 hours is certainly acceptable
- Be Portable. Not ultrabook size, but it IS supposed to replace all the books I usually have to carry.
- Have an adequate amount of ports. I usually keep all my bigger word documents and movies on my 64 GB USB stick, so being able to use it without a USB to micro-USB converter is good.
- I'd like it to be inexpensive if possible, but I'm willing to pay anything below 1000. If it hits everything else though, I'll consider it.
- I don't care if it's one of those 360 flip types or one that pops it's head off to become a tablet. As long as I can work on it I'm fine. Though I somehow get the feeling that that means it'll be a 360 flip type.
I'm not going to use it to play games or do video-editing, so I don't need something with an i7 processor and superb graphics card. That would be a waste of money. All I intend to do is work, research on the internet, watch videos, check e-mails, and occasionally check social networks. It's a secondary computer.
So yeah, if someone knows a computer which fits that criteria, please tell me.
