Hi, in the course of digitization, I would like to leave the notebook behind me and make my notes digitally. I thought, since I already manage almost everything on my laptop (MacBook Pro) anyway, I would also like to take notes on the laptop. I thought of such a graphics tablet, as many people use it for digital drawing. Plus a notes app that supports graphics tablets and done!
Does anyone have any experience with this? Is that a good idea?
Which notes programs (for macOS) can you recommend me?
Experience with graphics tablets yes. But as it looks with programs on Mac, I have absolutely no idea, and if it is not one of these is completely new, the sat only on USB c, the connection is also very simple.
Thanks for the answer, but it was just about whether it makes sense to make handwritten notes on the laptop via graphics tablet.
I use OneNote for a lot. Is free and well structured. It runs on Mac, iPhone, iPad and Windows, as it is from Microsoft.
Create notes and lists. I have never done / used handwritten. I do not even know if it supports it.
But maybe the internal notes app from Apple is enough.
A graphics tablet would be too cumbersome, if I would recommend a real tablet, like the latest iPads, the iPad Pro, or if you want a laptop that has pen input of its own, a Surface Pro.
I'm not exactly a fan of iPads. A laptop with a touch screen would be optimal, but also quite expensive.
Thanks for the answer. That's just the question of whether OneNote on Mac supports a graphics tablet…
Comparing a Surface Pro to a MacBook Pro: They cost almost the same, have similar performance, are both made of metal, the Surface Pro is thinner and lighter in tablet design, has touch and pen input, the MacBook Pro has at least an apple on the back. From that point of view, I find "expensive" relatively relative when compared to Apple products, which are all quite expensive.
I have a Surface Pro and am really happy with it, I write in lectures, program with it and use Photoshop, InDesign and co. Thereon. Of course, reading PDFs and scripts in bed or on the sofa in tablet mode is no problem either. So practically a device for everything.
I'm not that enthusiastic about iPads, especially from the big pro, because it's priced in the direction of Surface Pro, but its functionality is significantly limited by iOS. The pen is really not bad for drawing and writing. However, the Surface Pen does not have to hide.
