If you can download notability, definitely yes. I use notability on my iPad and take notes using my stylus. The stylus is much better than taking notes with your finger and worth the extra cost

It's perfect for people, like students who need to be on the go, the magnet system had a neodydium magnet, very strong and stays with you.

It works well with Notability as you can adjust the line's width. It is my favorite stylus and never leaves my pocket.

It's what I've been using for taking notes on my ipad for about 3 years now. Granted i dont write as much as i type though. I'm simply not fast enough when it comes to writing notes in lecture. Use it mostly for highlighting on lecture slides, drawing diagrams/graphs etc.

Seller here. Yes, we've lots of customers who are students using it for notetaking. Notability comes highly recommended!

Depends on what you want to use it for. The font - even set to the largest setting - is not entirely big. So if you were looking to transcribe class notes (or something to that effect), I would recommend something with a larger screen (7.85" or larger)...perhaps a tablet that works well with stylus. All said, it's possible for this tablet to supply your 'college' needs...but again, I'm not exactly sure how you will want to use it.

I don't know how the ipad air would respond to it but with my tablet I have to push a bit for it to respond, I would think it would work well for note taking. Sorry, I hope you find something that will work well for you.

I haven't needed to do something like that, but I would say that would work also. I has a great screen and the app already installed for notes as well as others.

Yes, its an excellent choice. I use my table for notes, Microsoft documents-Polaris Office (word, ppt), YouTube, email, playing games, watching movies and viewing youtube videos. It works great!

I would say yes this case is great for typing on your lap. It works well most of the time and I love using this case for taking notes in class.

Get this. It will be great for quick reference, especially when in front of the computer. For many class assignments you'll have in a Music program, you'll want a 49 or 61 key keyboard though. You'll end up having both this micro keyboard and a larger one before you graduate.

I've used mine for that and it works okay, but I think that (despite the cost of special paper) the LiveScribe series does notes better. The inkling is better for sketching/drawing as the potential for a vector output is there.

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.

This is good for a college student, you will have to purchase Microsoft Office for it. No issues to report so far, still works just fine.

It could, with the right interface. I don't know how your papers are presented, but I would first be looking for PDF comments instead. This takes some getting-used-to for the precision writing that goes along with grading papers (e.g., writing comments). If your aim is more along the lines of checkmarks or other symbols, this will do that without much effort. But again, check that your software supports it.

No, the tip is too fat and mushy for that. This seems more useful for scrolling, flipping pages and clicking on icons etc. It is just not suited for drawing or note taking as far as I can fell.

Onenote, Some Lenovo apps(Support, Kindle, Settings, Quicksnip, app shop, system update), Lenovo driver settings, all the basic windows 8 software, skype, Free trial to office, Evernote free trial(Onenote is far better due to offline availability), and I could go on it's a pretty neat package but there's A LOT of free stuff on the store with upgradability that's well worth it. If you're into sketching I highly recommend getting sketchbook express the stylus that comes with it works well with SE. Also if you do plan to get the tablet make sure to update everything drivers, intel graphics accelerator, and the apps before you go to windows 8.1. It will make your experience with it a whole helluva lot better. Cheers!

It is great for taking notes, onenote is awesome. You will want to buy another wacom pen with an eraser function though. I recommend the surface pro 2 pen. The pen that comes with it is nice because its attached to it, but its a little small and clumsy. As for PDF,it runs a full version of windows 8.1 so you can do anything you could do with a regular laptop. This blows the iPad out of the water with functionality.

You can purchase either a stand alone wireless keyboard or a case with one attached to it. This would work for note taking in class as long as you had the room to have the keyboard. A lot of students have switched to using a Chromebook. Might want to look into the Chromebook option.

Perfectly! That's what I have :-) It takes a some getting used to. You won't be writing your Ph.D. thesis, or the great American novel with it, but it's great for light to medium use.

This stylus would be great for taking notes, however there are cheaper options that would work just as well. The main feature of this one is that it has multiple levels of pressure sensitivity. This is great for drawing, but if you're only taking notes you might not need that feature. You could go with the Jot Flip, Jot Pro, & Jot Script.
