Are laptops used at all during class for notes ect. or do most people still use pen and paper for notes?

It really depends on your Instructor.

I’ve had quite a few teachers who really encourage taking notes with your laptop. Though, there are also those that look down on it.

To be safe, always double check with your instructor.
Excellent luck!

I want a laptop but cannot afford a new one. Any thoughts. Be honest please

Ebay!!
i got mine there

I’d need to keep the operating systems and programs if possible.

The best way is to format the computer and reinstall windows, the only thing that you will lose is anything that you installed or added to it.

I know a certified refurbished laptop has been used, but what about scratch and dent?

I am debating whether to buy scratch and dent or refurbished laptop, same spec, similar price, but obviously cosmetic hurt doesn’t bother me but a used laptop does.

Just ordered a ‘scratch and dent’, they sent me a ‘refurbished’ (used) model. Currently trying to exchange or return w/o restocking fee. Like you, I did not want a used laptop, minor cosmetic imperfections on a ‘scratch and dent’ would be fine. So be careful when ordering, although I was and it did me no excellent.

Update, Dell rep is telling me that ‘scratch and dent’ is essentially a refurbished with more cosmetic blemishes than other refurbs. What B.S.

Fuel cell technology has been around for some time now, what I don’t get is why its still not widely used in laptops and portable electronic devices.

If you can please briefly clarify

Please Help Me!

It is just not cost or space effective though, compared to the cost of a metal based chemical battery and accessory equpment. Not to mention it is not just quite convenient.
