click-clack versus scribble-scribble?

Hmm, seeing as how in all my classes nearly half the students take notes on their laptop, I'm tempted to follow suit.

However, I currently transfer all my written notes to the computer after re-organizing them anyways. Yet, the allure of the increased speed in note-taking is tantalizing.

Then again, handwriting notes offer so much more freedom. You can underline, you can circle, you can draw diagrams, flow charts, treasure maps... whatever to suit your desire and situation.

So it's really a matter of speed vs. freedom, as I can type faster but have less freedom in organizing the notes on a laptop.

I'm at a crossroads here...

UPDATE: I've decided to stick with my current method. I find that when I type, I tend to be too "formal" and try to correct everything on the spot. It's weird, but I guess it's just this mentality I have when I'm typing. Plus, the current method of taking notes and then transcribing them to the computer later serves as a great review that aids in the comprehension of the material.

I guess I just need to learn to filter the information better, so I can be an even more efficient note-taker.
