Is this setup good for note taking, for example writing things down for school?

I think a pencil and note pad will work better for you. This device is just a gimmick. It works well and I like mine but it was an expensive toy.

I've used mine for that and it works okay, but I think that (despite the cost of special paper) the LiveScribe series does notes better. The inkling is better for sketching/drawing as the potential for a vector output is there.

sure but if you want to use handwriting recognition software make sure you calibrate it properly and write clearly

With all the other types of "note taking" devices on the market, I wouldn't recommend the Wacom Inkling as a "note taker" because its design is geared more towards sketching, then using that sketch in a software graphics program... Everyone is different when it comes to "note taking"; personally, I find it easier to just use a recording device (digital or tape, your choice), then playing back the recording later on to pull out the key points of what the speaker presented... Scribbling notes, for me at least, while someone is lecturing or giving a talk takes my attention away from what is being presented at the moment... In the end, as I'm sure you understand, the choice is yours... Good luck and happy note taking...!

Yes it will work good for school and home and you can play movies on it ... My son also plays mindcraft on it and it works very well

Absolutely. The screen quality is great, and I've spent many a time watching Netflix and using the Internet. And I used it mainly for school so it's great for taking notes in whatever way is most comfortable for you (keyboard, touch screen.) it runs on windows which uses the market place but you can just download iTunes.

Its a basic card table. You can read and write on it so I guess it would be okay for studying.

Yes it will keep your notes well. And you can watch Netflix on it but the screen does time out. I just can't use it for long doing anything because of that unstable screen... So if it is not for an extended amount of time you will be ok.

It has some issues. The touchpad stops working sometimes apparently without any reason. Also it gets very slow sometimes, hopefully that's because of windows so it could be fixed with an update. I'd say it's good for a student, my question would be, What kind of student? what software are you using? FYI, it can run autocad and solidworks well...

Yes! This is a great product for a reasonable price. I used mine for a grad school course and had no troubles with it. I am considering purchasing some for my school to use in the computer lab with notation software. It is very user friendly. Enjoy!

Not exactly sure..it works well. I use it in a school to make old documents editable

I think so. I use mine to work on scrapbook projects and I can layout two fullsize (12x12) papers at the same time. So fitting a notebook or writing pad with a school book would be fine. There is a gap at the back of the desk that I've placed cup holders in and converted it to pen/pencil storage. If you have an IKEA near you, you might want to get it from the store. It's much cheaper at the store and you can save on the shipping.

Well, I used this computer for school as well, online and in class and it worked out perfect for me. I brought it to class with me and used it to take notes and did my online classes as well. I never really downloaded statistics programs on it, but I like how you can split the screen when typing a paper and look at information at the same time.

The iPad with a good app like Notability is an excellent tool for note taking in school. The iHome composition case purchased from Amazon was ill-fitting compared to the one I purchased from another accessories store.

Yes, its an excellent choice. I use my table for notes, Microsoft documents-Polaris Office (word, ppt), YouTube, email, playing games, watching movies and viewing youtube videos. It works great!

Yes, though I doubt it will be high-quality. It works great on my class lectures. Check for copyrights first, and watch out for the battery life of the recorder, then go wild.

Yes. It is quite functional. Room for a laptop. Not a laptop and much writing space together. Does the job well made for the price.

Perfectly! That's what I have :-) It takes a some getting used to. You won't be writing your Ph.D. thesis, or the great American novel with it, but it's great for light to medium use.

that is what i use it for. the surface isn't smoothe, so you will need something under your paper for writing

As long as you can situate it comfortably for yourself, on your lap works fine. I used mine primarily at school for taking notes. Keyboard folds back easily, just make sure the keyboard is turned off, otherwise you start accidentally typing in places
