ya, i agree. Though using onenote to draw diagrams with your mouse is easier than using paint....its still pretty difficult to draw anything slightly complex. So its still probably easier to use pen and paper if you dont have a tablet.

This may be a tad off-topic but, perhaps you should look into getting a superportable laptops like the Asus EEEpc or MSI Wind. They are small-lightweight laptops (around 8~10 inches screen) that are used for pretty much word processing, internet and other basic applications. This really opens up the whole laptop-desktop venue with a cheap laptop + a decent desktop combo.
