What's the best way to take notes in class?

I have a two computers that I’m deciding to bring with me to school next month. I’ve figured that taking notes on my netbook would be better because it’s light and won’t be a distraction for other students in the classroom since it’s so small.

A while back, I took a computer to school with me to take notes in a history class. Surprisingly, I didn’t get distracted at all. I usually turned of wifi, and used word/pages to record lectures and take notes at the same time. I also want to point out that I was VERY interested in the class that I was in, that’s probably why I wasn’t as distracted. I’m a little afraid that if I have a class that’s extremely boring, I’ll end up browsing the web or going on Facebook.

Do you guys think that this is a good idea again? Or should I just stick to a notebook and pen/pencil and bring the netbook around when I’m going to the library or studying outside of my dorm? Or should I take notes during class? I also want to add that I’m a slow writer unfortunately, but I type a lot faster.

Thanks!
