The main benefit to me is accessibility. I have a notepad I like to keep with me, so I can take and review my notes no matter where I am without lugging my computer around and fumbling with the power cord.

Writing things by hand is just generally more pleasant too. There's no pain involved with writing, while I've never found a setup for typing on a computer that doesn't cause some level of wrist or shoulder pain.
