I'm definitely buying a tablet once I get to school. What remains to be decided is whether it's the latest iPad or Android-based model.

From my experience so far, no one really uses (and definitely not buy) a textbook in MBA, so don't get an iPad for textbooks. It can be handy to read WSJ or browse the web in class when laptops are banned (like someone already mentioned). Otherwise in most cases you can just whip out your laptop or coursepack (again don't carry the whole binder everyday, take out the pages you need and use a binder clip). iPad can be handy when you are stuck in a plane or want to look at websites while watching tv.

Anybody has experience using the likes of VNC applications on the iPad in b-school? A VNC application is an internet terminal window to your home computer where one may run complex applications in a native environment, like Windows Office 2010, etc.

Splashtop and Teamviewer are two apps that are great for using a (more powerful) computer from a variety of devices. I know both are available on Android tablets, I don't know off-hand for iPad.
