This is of course off topic a bit, but plays into the idea that the 4E and 3E comparisons are apples and oranges. |
Unless you are a full-bore computer person, a computer is going to be klunky and slower to use than just doing it the old fashioned way. While a computer savvy person can play D&D on a laptop without slowing the game down, a lesser person can not. The Character Builder on the other hand is easier and faster to use to build characters to almost anyone who is remotely familiar with computers, and it is easier to reference on the whole than a stack of books and Dragon PDFs.
