I see that some are using a stylus, but does this work well for taking notes? (College style technical notes)

Not particularly. If you will be taking heavy notes I would go with a Samsung Note device, or the Surface.

Not really the touch screen for typing is awkward and I use a Bluetooth keyboard. I don't really use a stylus as I dislike pecking while typing.

I think the Wacom Bamboo stylus is preferable for note writing. The amPen nib does drag on a Zagg screen-protected iPad where the Bamboo does not.

I'm carrying a stylus in the little elastic tab thingy right now. It's *really* tight, though, so my regular fat stylus doesn't work. I've got another, thinner, pen/stylus combo device that slides right in. They can be had for $2 or so on the major online auction site we're not supposed to name.

Hi Dayna B.!Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) The answer is most likely no, unless you have a note taking app to use them with. These are not a fine tip, so the accuracy needed for handwriting on your screen is not optimal. Unfortunately we do not carry a fine tip stylus for handwritten notes yet. Anything else, please let me know here at this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-seller/contact-seller.html/ref=aag_m_fi?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isCBA;=&isPopup;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID;=&sellerID;=AP0GL3AYI3XW1Have a good day!Maureen / The Friendly Swede Hi Dayna B.!Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) The answer is most likely no, unless you have a note taking app to use them with.

I have not used the note-taking feature. I do have colleagues who own the Samsung Note 3 and they use the note-taking feature all the time. You would have to research different types of stylus also, because the Tab 8" does not include one. Friends tell me that finger note-taking can be a clumsy adventure at times.

I have been able to use mine quite well with a Stylus. Mine isn't too slow to my way of thinking.

This is just a touch screen stylus, not an ink pen or pencil. Also, with the larger tip on this stylus, it probably wouldn't be the best choice for a writing program.

I know they have apps that might work at taking notes for class. It's sort of a small tablet for that I would consider something a little larger for myself.

Not on my version but perhaps a current model has that. Between the onscreen touch and the keyboard, many users wouldn't need a stylus.

I am not a professional artist by any means, but I like to sketch and compared to other styli (that have rubber-like tips but are not covered by some type of special fabric), this one works very well. I don't feel like I have to press so firmly on the screen. I haven't compared it to other styli that are specifically made for drawing/art, so I can't tell you about that, but I can say that my search for a really great stylus is over. Hope this helped!

I do not know, am I am afraid to try it! If you should find out anything please let me know.I usually use a stylus.

I think a pencil and note pad will work better for you. This device is just a gimmick. It works well and I like mine but it was an expensive toy.

you need a application, such as Annotation. You can open PDF file on that application and add notes on it. And I believe this device is good enough for taking note. But it's hard to write small size words. And also you need to optimize window system. (you can find how to optimize on forum web sites.

Absolutely, I take an extremely large amount of notes with this stylus on an Ipad 2. By far the best I have ever used! Hope this helps.

I've been using it for taking class notes on an iPad and iPad mini for about a year and a half, and it's my favorite stylus. I liked using the Adonit Jot about the same when I tried it for a couple months, but the clicking annoyed me and it scratched my screen, so it was back to the Maglus for me. It's very accurate and responsive, and I've never had problems with having to hold it at any particular angle. Everyone likes different types of stylus, but for me this one is perfect for taking notes.

I use it for taking notes and it's very smooth. I have yet to find a stylus with a very thin tip that's made with this same material. I'm not an artist but I do draw sometimes with it and it works of me.

I would use it for note taking, but keep in mind note taking is largely dependent on your app. For example, how easy is it to erase a mistake in your chosen app? How large are your letters when you write with a stylus? Can you resize it in your note-app?
