FWIW, I found the Newton quite workable and carried and used it constantly --- took all of my college notes on it, and in particular, art history, where the professor asked if I could share my notes with a learning-disabled student who had difficulty note-taking and reading handwriting, so I faxed them to the fax machine in the secretary's office. - handwriting recognition ensured that the text was legible - the stylus allowed me to include small thumbnail sketches of each slide - since I had my own copies of the art history texts, one of which I kept in my locker for class (the other was at home for studying), I also included page references to the textbook After I graduated, I learned that copies of my notes had been shared amongst everyone in the dorms taking that class and that the average grades since then were markedly higher, and the failure rate greatly diminished --- until the old professor retired (taking with her, her personal slides), and the new professor switched texts. Using a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+, Kindle Scribe, and Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 these days, since there wasn't a replacement for my Samsung Galaxy Book 12, and I despair of how Microsoft has dumbed-down the stylus since Fall Creators Update: https://github.com/TheJoeFin/Windows10-Community/issues/17 --- in Windows 11 I have to keep the Settings app open so I can toggle the stylus behaviour depending on which application I'm using. Fortunately, Firefox added a preference for using a stylus as a stylus, not an 11th touch input which actually works: about:config change: dom.w3c_pointer_events.scroll_by_pen.enabled set it to False. |
