Hello, how is this item for taking notes? I just started med school and they are encouraging us to take notes digitally.

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.

Hello. I purchased this device for my daughter because she just started the nursing program. I asked her if she used the note option and she has not used it yet. However, she did say that she took a look at it and it was something that she would eventually use. I hope this helps.

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.

I am a student as well and used the recorder for class. .. You may want to sit as close as you are comfortable to make sure that you get a good sound quality. for all the classes that I used it for i sat on the second row..

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!

Hi Han! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) Yes, these are excellent for note taking. Thanks to Mike and Daniel for their input as well! Please note we do have a new set of the shorter version with replaceable tips now as well if you'd like to try those.

Those are not good for note taking. You have to press really hard to write your notes. Plus there is no right software for it

I have not used it for that. I would think you can get a much cheaper stylus for note taking.

You can but unwound prefer the Adonit Jot Touch 4 for that type of activity, I have found this one is best suited to note taking

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.

That depends on what you mean by 'speed' and 'finesse'. The microfiber tips work well for accuracy in writing. Your tablet/app will determine how well things work as well. I use it for quick note taking and it works fairly well, as long as I decide to write a little larger than im used to on paper.

Travis, Yes, you can. However, I think a tablet is better for taking notes and studying. The Barnes and Noble Android app also allows highlighting and taking notes and it's easier if you plan on doing a lot of studying. I have used my Nook to read study material as it's easier to carry around than a tablet, but for highlighting and note taking, it's not as efficient. It's more suited to the occasional note taking than for serious note taking during study.

Stylus is one of the best features. I am using it to write this now. Translation accuracy depends on the apps you are using. I tried using SNote but it was a bit laggy and it had trouble recognizing my extremely sloppy handwriting. I use One Note now to handwrite notes, then transcribe them using the on-screen Windows Stylus keyboard, which is very accurate even for my handwriting. The Slate 7 SPen also works with this, if you like using a pen-sized stylus and an eraser.

I use it with the Notability app for taking notes and I like it much better than any other stylus that I have tried. The stylus tip is a little mor firm and gives you a better feel when writing.

Absolutely. The screen quality is great, and I've spent many a time watching Netflix and using the Internet. And I used it mainly for school so it's great for taking notes in whatever way is most comfortable for you (keyboard, touch screen.) it runs on windows which uses the market place but you can just download iTunes.

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.

Negative. It's simply used to take notes and doodle. Can't draw or take notes and connect to another device.
