- I don't find this to be true. I've alternated between typing and writing transcripts during interviews and I'm always faster and more accurate with - Reagen Jan 27, 11:55 5

    - also thinking back to school and the classes I took, typing a formula is damn near impossible - Reagen Jan 27, 11:58 1
      - this is true, but I rarely did (or do) that. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 11:59
    - A lot will depend on how good a typist people are. If they're already hunting and pecking it won't matter. -- nm - Ender Jan 27, 11:56 1
      - I am a touch typist. if you hunt and peck a touch screen is fine. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 11:58
- sure, which is why I like the convertables because you get the traditional typing but also the option of annotating documents, etc. -- nm - oblique Jan 27, 11:55
- Word. I can't hand write notes in class. Way too slow. I carry my laptop all the time. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 27, 11:51
