What's your budget?

I think you could do better for the money. There are some good deals out there, I think this one is designed for sales more than value.

I recommend answering 01001010's question and see where it goes...

Do you definitely want/need a touch screen? I think they're overrated for computers.

Well i dont need a touch screen, but im not the best typer when it comes to taking notes in class, so i thought it would be really easy to use a stylus and just save all my notes

Size? Portability? Priorities?

Trust me that stylus is SLOW. You will have to quickly go across the screen flying around with a stylus.
Everyone started slow, but trust me you will end up typing fast, it will be hard with stylus, go for a "Normal" laptop.

Size not too big, i need to be able to take it to class comfortably
priorities, schoolwork notes etc, and need it to last
