Note Taking And Tech@ Uni

Hey everyone!

So I recently got a 2018 iPad and was wondering how people take notes + transfer notes from ipad to laptop to pc. I have a neat little keyboard so can type easily + apple pencil. Also have a macbook and access to pc
Basically there are so many things out there I'm not sure what works  and don't want to be experimenting for the whole semester. If people could recommend some e.g. evernote, icloud, dropbox, officeonline, onenote etc, google drive, pages, nebo etc
I want something which is easy to transfer from ipad to laptop and can hopefully be saved also on ipad as I have 128 gigs of storage to play with. Also want something hopefully which I can open my uni powerpoints in maybe? I do medicine if that helps. Would be nice if can convert my apple pencil writing to text as well. Thanks :)

I use a HP touchscreen laptop, but same idea!
I recommend OneNote just because it syncs across devices and online, which is super handy, and I can easy switch between writing and drawing with the pen. I also love the fact that I can also import PDFs into OneNote, so I can annotate those and write on them as I study!
For powerpoints, you should be able to "print them to pdf" and insert the PDF as I just mentioned :)

I've tried evernote, but I just found it too much to handle for my phone (which I also use to access notes) and I just didn't personally like the evernote interface on the laptop. :)
