:-) I was hoping for an experience close to pen/paper on a tablet with digitizer. Laptops are bulkier and freehand drawings difficult. If tablets were ready for primetime in this space, it would work...

Thanks for the detailed reply. I did go to the Apple store to try out the ipad. They did not have any note taking program installed and could not provide me a test stylus, so I didn't get to test...

To close the loop in case someone finds it useful.
I ended up buying a Slate 500 and got my hands on it today. It is bare-bones with just Windows 7 on it, no apps. After investing about an hour...

Will a tablet with a digitizer (and powered pen) be significantly better for freehand note-taking than a ipad?
I can get a Windows 7 tablet with digitizer for about the same cost as the...

There's not much difference between them, but overall taking notes on a tablet sucks. It's OK for occasional use (like in a business meeting), but I would not recommend it for classes or any other...
