For purely note taking, Remarkable 2 can't be beat. The problem is everyone wants that and the kitchen sink in a single device. If you want a multiple purpose device that _can_ take notes, an iPad is likely the best choice.
For me, just writing things down is amazingly helpful. I don't even have a workflow set up very well on it yet, just got mine a few weeks ago. Its really pretty damn good. Is it worth the money? probably not. That said, I don't regret getting one at all.
Like, how often do I ever reference my school notes... rarely. But the act of synthesizing and writing something down physically just feels sort of like a memory hack.
