Laptop Vs Paper
What does everyone use for taking notes?
And why do you use it?

Ah see I think I'll prefer pen and paper. I can write a lot faster than type. Though I'll probs give both a go to test them out.HAHAHA i was going to ask the same question.
i dont want to take a laptop and feel like some rich-(which by any means im not) kid.
i would probably end up doing both? i like the speed of a laptop.. but sometimes (i.e. maths or anything with equations) its just so much easier with pen and paper..
Yeh the convenience of one tool to hold everything, does really interest me. And I swore to myself that this year I'll get nice and organised as opposed to my hsc (that was a shambles >_>) And a laptop does sound like a good way to keep everything together...Laptop. I type much faster than I can write (legibly), I believe it's possible to get more speed out of typing than you'll ever get out of writing...
Instant filing cabinet ftw - Neater document organisation. Electronic medium = No bulky textbooks or paper = Less weight.
Yeah. But I always have one notebook at hand just incase.
If you're good at typing, it's a sound investment. If you're a slow typer and write faster, then consider that.Yeh the convenience of one tool to hold everything, does really interest me.

+1For taking notes? Pen and paper for me.
I like random doodling. I also find writing and then typing to be an excellent retention tactic.
Normally I would, but old threads aren't working...This literally comes up way too often; do a search.
Indeed, it is subjective, but in asking for subjective answers, you get many points of view. Subjective points of view allow the O.P to see the points of both and decide what would most likely suit them before doing either. Usually this decision is the right one.This literally comes up way too often; do a search.
The only reasonable answer is that everyone has their own preference depending on what they do and how they do it. What other people say and think is honestly irrelevant - you need to come up with your own method. You could buy a laptop for uni, or you could try pen and paper and see how you go. Obviously you can judge how the pen and paper is going for you and then if you think a laptop is worth it, get it.
Ie it's better to try paper and move to a laptop rather than the other way around.
This is partly what the notebook is for XD.Shadowdude said:I like random doodling. I also find writing and then typing to be an excellent retention tactic.
notepadRelevantly, should we take a laptop or notepad into our first lecture?
