I used an iPad 2 with a note taking app during my 2 years of engineering master in college. It was synced with my Google Drive, I didn’t struggled with complex equations and drawings and allowed in text search (which wasn’t that great at the time).
I used a free pen given by a random company during a job fair and raised eyebrows to costly alternatives.
It was great however the battery lifetime and occasional bugs made me nervous sometimes.
Confort wasn’t that great, I couldn’t put my wrist on the screen and learnt to write without. The device was quite thick, which you suddenly notice compared to a classic paper when you take notes for hours.
Its the only notes I still have since I couldn’t easily scan perforated seyes paper (often double pages) that I used at the time and I let my huge binders at my parent’s home. Just for this, it has tremendous value.
Maybe if I had to do it again today I would spend a few hours mastering LaTeX to being faster to take note of huge equations on a laptop.
