It just got scratched up during one of my trips, and I kindof marked it off as “not-really usable”. Yeah, I’ve had my wacom tablet for awhile. I guess I’ll take some credit for this solution so… if you’ve got the tablet and laptop already… just get oneNote and go ahead and use it!Įdit : if you’d like to see some of my notes/ comparison between bamboo and n-trig digitizers, please mention it in the comments and I will see about posting some. I’m surprised I haven’t seen or heard of anyone else using this wacom note-taking method before. You can also use the tablet for other things - like sculpting in blender/ sculptris and GIMP.Īll in all, if you have a laptop already, a bamboo fun first gen (~$80) is a bit more cost-effective than buying a new touchscreen laptop (~$1000).

Well, it’s actually fairly easy - if you can write on the lines of an index card, you can easily take notes on a wacom bamboo fun tablet. However I found a cool program called CursorAttention 1.3 that highlights the pen - so no more problems with losing it.īefore I got the tablet pc, I assumed it was really hard to take notes with a wacom tablet since its so tiny (4圆). Now the only thing I found difficult was that OneNote shrunk the pen size to about 2 pixels - using the screen digitizer I didn’t notice because I could easily see where the pen was. the wacom tablet is much more pressure sensitive and picks up strokes about 20% better than the N-trig digitizer in the screen.you can switch between typing notes and writing equations/drawing diagrams pretty easily.you don’t have to flip the screen over to write.However, I just tried something a little different last week: I used a wacom bamboo fun tablet for taking notes and found it works just as well if not better than writing notes on the built in screen digitizer because :

I have been using this to take notes in my classes for the past year or two - i write on the screen and organize notes using Microsoft Onenote.
