Im a full-time tutor and for the past ten years, nothing could beat paper...not because its more organized or more efficient, but because my clientele (middle and high school students) will often make up any reason under the sun for not having notes. Being able to pass hand-written papers (some with carbon copy) really helps with a quick tangible piece of knowhow.

The rocketbook has been able to bridge much of the gap, because I can quickly upload to a student's google doc (as well as a parent's), and they will have a perfect scan, complete with collated copies and proper filing, etc. I benefit during a tutoring session because we can FLIP and refer back to things between pages of written notes. It is hard to organically know which page I need to go to on a computer. Id have to CTRL+F all day.

In a vacuum, however, the ipad is the superior note taking product, and I have some students who really know their way around notability with their apple pencils. However, this is because those students use the ipad for EVERY class and that norm is established. Good luck doing that for others who dont known the ipad, let alone use it enough for SCHOOL to actually learn it for note taking.

Time is money, and when youre dealing with luddite students and parents, the rocketbook has been a good middle ground. The app is almost brainless (until you get fancy with the filing system) and you have turnitin-level accounbability with uploads.

My maim gripes are the pens (they cost quite a bit and run out quickly) and the method of erasing (you use a wet cloth...you CAN use the eraser, but it isnt pretty). I have multiple books so I only worry about erasing at the end of the day...

Hope this helps some of you.
My wife just grabbed one of these. It's not a bad idea, but you better hope it can read your handwriting, otherwise you got yourself a pretty crappy notebook there. For my wife, it's useless.
It's a bit better cuz the app can organize the notes and upload them to Dropbox/OneNote etc.
However I find it quite annoying that you have to erase with a wet cloth instead of the eraser on the pen. It's such a hassle to bring a wet cloth with you all the time to take notes.
Unless you really want the feeling of writing on actual paper. I think a tablet is always a better way to go paperless.

Came to say this. It's kind of a pain. You can use just the regular cloth if you want to spend 30 minutes buffing it out. Any time Ive saved from using the app I've easily lost in cleaning the thing.

I used this in my Master's program and it worked pretty well. I learn better with hand-written (as opposed to typed) notes but didn't want to go back and later re-type my notes for later reference. My handwriting is marginal and this did a pretty good job converting my handwritten notes into searchable/indexable documents.

This is very helpful.

I bought a few in November (Woot deal for about $20). My kids love it but mostly drawing and making todo list, gifted the others.

I should remind my middle schooler to use it for note-taking.

All of the other comments are spot on.

I definitely wish I had gotten the executive size. I have the mini and the letter right now, the mini is great by my bed for fleeting bedtime notes without having to pull out a bright screen. I use the letter for counseling, and it just feels way too big. If/when I go back to school I'm sure the letter would be a great size for that.
So, depends on what you're looking to use it for, how much space you have, and how much note taking you do in a given day/week.

As an engineer I find these useful. I tend to take notes randomly in meetings and need to sometimes draw things to think through them. 90% of this is garbage, as in it helps me in the moment, i never need to look at it again. 10% is stuff i might actually refer back to. Before I just filled notebooks and hopefully could find the few pages I actually thought were important. I always felt anxious about throwing the books out.

Now I use this and most of it i wipe out, a few i upload to my work computer. I can use the same book for work/home/crafts. A lot less books lying around, paper wastage, and I still get the utility I need. For me, scribbling a flow chart on paper always feels faster and more organic than on a tablet/computer. Additionally I'm tired of keeping things charged and updated. It's nice not to have to worry about that with this.

Just know, it's not magic, it's a "whiteboard" notebook, with a scanning app.
