I like to draw stuff around my notes and add some visual clues that allow me to quickly find something and also help with memorisation.

Using just a keyboard is not enough for me. So to me, that's first a hardware problem, then a software problem.

I first tried using a wacom bamboo board with OneNote on a PC (in 2012). That was terrible. The process of settings things up was really cumbersome and navigating throught the note afterward was hyper painful. I also remeber being frustrated by not being able to properly print the whole thing.

I then tried a ipad mini with a set of stylus. Didn't like the feeling and also couldn't find any good software to manage my notes.

More rencently, my girlfriend got me a iSketchnote. It just doens't work. Maybe my unit was faulty, but review were bad so I didn't bother trying to send it back.

I'm considering the iPad pro, but I really hate my iPad mini and really think iOS for tablet is a really frustrating experience...

side note: I would have loved some OCR that generates proper latex... but as a student, I wouldn't have paid much for it. As a quant in a bank. I don't really need it anymore. And I can't really think of anyone who would.
