best low cost electronic note taking device

any offers?

for uni lectures, laptop just doesn't have enough battery power and all i really want is to not have to re-write notes to make them digital.

something with a decent screen and keyboard with note writing functionality is what i want

I was looking for something exactly this. The problem with the pens is that you still need standard paper - I was hoping to be able to input directly on to a screen. I don't seem to be able to find anything like this though.
Asus EEE?

By wanting a screen you increase your cost. You can take notes with a pda like an ipaq but the screen is rather small. I can take notes on my tablet pc, but this is towards the expensive end of the spectrum.

TBH I just wrote my notes in biro and stapled them together. And I did computer science :biggrin:.

Budgety PDA and a fold-out bluetooth keyboard?.. PDAs tend to have a better battery life than laptops when just note-taking, and most of them come with a copy of word. And you can choose to save it in Office 2003 .doc format (along with .rtf and .txt I believe), so no nasty .docx to hinder you Linux experience :tongue:

I like the look of this, personally:


A mighty 64mb ram, and a 400mhz processor! (also has touch screen)

A PDA probably is the best way to go, unless you need to jot down formulae and exotic symbols.
