i want to stop printing lecture notes and just want to bring my laptop to class
but I was just wondering is 15.6 inch too big for class? in terms of space wise because all i usually see in class are those small macbooks and such so

the standard size for most laptops is 15.6 and are commonly used in lecture.

i have never found it to be an issue with mine. i personally use OneNote since i found it is the most versatile if you do, but less effective with equations

tablets or touchscreen notebooks too. i know a guy who upgraded from a touchscreeen thinkpad to ipad 2 and it seems great

Nope I bring my dell xps 15 inside, and it's fine for note taking

my laptop is pretty big and i bring it every day to class. i think mine is 17inch Toshiba laptop

I have a 16.4" VAIO and size is not at all an issue. I prefer larger screen size since it always comes with a numberpad as well, and you can have both a powerpoint/pdf and word application open for supplementary notes. Hellz yeah 1920x1080 native resolution.

It's not too big to be used in class or anything but you might have a problem carrying a heavy laptop around...
