Honestly, I had a laptop/convertible tablet throughout my studies, and I definitely would not have wanted to be without it. I could draw directly onto the slides, type if necessary (I can type faster than I can write), and I always knew that if I had that thing along, I had everything I needed - no worrying about which binders to bring along and no breaking my back with heavy backpacks.
And when I did get distracted, it usually wasn't from my computer, but from my phone. Which wasn't always bad, sometimes it was good to keep myself awake - I'd rather be semi distracted but still semi paying attention than fallen asleep.
