So I have been on a course all week and using my 11" iPad Pro as the only note-taking device - and it's working fantastic, using OneNote as I am pretty keyed into that product and it's been absolutely fantastic, easily as neat as writing on paper, but still digital. I need to look at some tips and tricks for diagramming as I am all over the place, but my diagrams on pen and paper are even worse so I will hopefully be able to use something to improve on the iPad.
Also using it as the media consumption device etc and it's been fantastic, could have left my mBP at home apart from the actual coursework itself which is Azure Labs and lots of Powershell. The one downside, you can't realistically do a lot of coding on these yet.
