I don’t usually use it for note taking in the classroom (like you, I’m a CS student)…but it has its own apps pre-installed on the device only for note-taking…It should be pretty cool and easy to switch from keyboard to handwriting…I use it mostly for reading ebooks and it’s great…the screen, the battery, writing stuff(it has its own s-pen, and writing on the screen is very very cool, it’s pressure sensitive!!!) or highlighting etc. on my PDF books. so smooth.
I think it’s the best tablet out there. I download all my books from the internet. it’s a great investment, you won’t need to pay 300 bucks each semester for books.</p>
