How often do you use a laptop or tablet, with keyboard to take notes in college?

best value laptops for college image

I'm a Junior in HS and I'm quite terrible at taking notes in class with a pen and paper. I'm a great at typing and can look away from the keyboard while I type. I know you can take a laptop to college classes, or at least most classes. I figure you can't take notes on a tablet or laptop in science or math. But what classes allow it and make use of a laptop?

Also, does anyone use a voice memo app on their phone to record the lecture for later? What about setting your phone on some sort of dock to video record the lecture?

Also, could you give me any note taking strategies besides what I asked earlier?

Answer
I never take notes on a laptop.Actually such electronic devices are prohibited in many if not most college course, with the exception of those that actually pertain to computing.
If I could have brought my laptop to my physics calls for example, it would have only been an inconvenience since almost everything of value is shown on the board. You really can't take meaningful notes for math and science classes, or even any other class for that matter. You will be spending you time trying to copy everything down in a meaningful manner instead of actually listening the the professor's explanation of what is written down.
You could use your laptop to do any online homework between actual classes.
As a computer science major, I only use my laptop for actual computer classes where we may do in-class projects. I just prefer to do them on my laptop instead of the school's

Im looking for a laptop for college and there are a lot to choose from. I want one that holds a lot i take alot of pictures so i need the space but i also need it for assignments too please help

Answer
Don't get a Mac, because of corporate greed by the company they limit what you can actually do in the computer greatly. Don't buy a Dell, gateway because they are the worst manufacturers out there.

I actually just bought a laptop after over 10 days of looking and found an a pretty cool deal. Theres a seller on Amazon called "Electronic Mind" that is selling some really powerful Acer Aspires way below retail value and has the lowest price on Amazon all together.

Here is the link:

I dont know how they can sell them so cheap but I have had mine now for 2 weeks and I am very happy with my brand new laptop.

With Acer Aspire you cant go wrong.The laptop is wicked, I am running very strenuous programs on it such as music production software and hardcore games and it can take anything I throw at it

I honestly think this is your best choice!!!
