Does anyone use Laptop/ipad for notetaking?

Do many students use a laptop/ipad to take notes in a lecture theatre? Or is it the old fashioned notebook and pen?

For maths subjects, it's mostly pen and paper.  I've seen one or two people with a tablet and a stylus...  But it's mostly the "old fashioned way."

I never used one but I decided to buy a laptop for med lectures next year. Didn't want to print out all the lecture notes either.. Also I find that in biological science lectures, there are usually a few that take notes with laptops.

Most people use pen and paper, or directly annotate printed lecture notes/slides.

Thanks guys, so I guess laptops will only be used for assignments and that jazz.

Seems pricey for a tablet computer, how is it size-wise compared to the iPad 2?

iPad is garbage. Tried using it in lectures once, was so bad. Definitely get a touchscreen tablet if you're looking for something functional to work with.

Otherwise Pen+Paper :)

That's because it is a laptop too essentially. Runs windows 7, has an i5 processor, 4GB RAM, all that jazz. It just has the added benefit of having a touchscreen. If anything, apart from lectures, I don't really use the touchscreen, and just use it as a laptop. So if you compare it to a laptop price wise, it ain't actually that bad.
