• Note taking for school
    3 replies, posted
I'm considering getting a Macbook or a Macbook Pro, and I'm thinking about how note taking could be done. Most I'm thinking would use Microsoft Word/Pages, but OneNote seems to be loved a lot of people, especially for education purposes, and it's mandatory for use for people in Years 9 and 10 in my school thanks to the [url=http://www.schools.nsw.edu.au/gotoschool/highschool/dernsw/index.php]NSW Digital Education Revolution[/url]. But OneNote isn't in Office 2008, nor is it in Office 2011. So what I'm asking is that if I take the plunge, will there be any alternatives, apart from the obvious of virtualisation, Wine or CrossOver? I'm fine with using Wine/CrossOver, it's just that I would be expecting a native experience to be better. According to a friend of mine, Word has a notebook feature, although I can't find anything about it through Google.
Uh, I just use microsoft word, or bean a free lighter alternative and name the file <class name> notes and give each class there own folder and use Stickies.app for writing down my schedule and to do list. Don't over think it so much. But you should definitely get a mac. I'd say the Macbook Pro and get the 13".
I use TextWrangler for the text and occasionally when I need a graphic I quickly draw it in Photoshop/Pixelmator and reference it. Edit: I have a 15" Late 2008 MBP but I would recommend the smaller 13" MBP.
Yeah, a 13" MBP would be great for you. Or the plastic one, bump up the RAM. [editline]12:55PM[/editline] and HDD [editline]12:58PM[/editline] My jesus, just read all charter shit. Looks terrible. So windows orientated.
