What's the best laptops for note taking?
I know that using a pen and paper is better, but I have a motor issue so even math shit is hard with my hands.

Don't lie OP, you don't have motor skill issues with your hands... you're just too fucking lazy to pick up a pen and paper and physically write shit down you n33t.

No for real I have severe Dysgraphia, my handwriting is officially impossible to read
I also need this answered. My handwriting looks like cuneiform. I tried a shitty little hp laptop but the keys at armed sticking.

Why does it matter?
I started taking notes using OneNote.
It took me some time to adapt, but it works just as good.
Being able to search your notes is much easier, which means you can study more efficiently.

Look for anything with a built-in keyboard, or just buy a compact mechanical keyboard.
It'll look dumb, but it'll probably be cheaper than a new laptop.

*built-in mechanical keyboard
The one with the best keyboard. Maybe a good microphone, too. You would have to buy an aimed one, however, but you could use it with your laptop.
The best laptop keyboards are on Thinkpads. Coincidentally, this board loves thinkpads. >>>/g/tpg
The old ones are cheap and people like the non-qwerty parts of the layout better, but the newer ones are supposedly as good or better for pure typing.
I just typed this out on my X220, which I really love for typing.

There is literally 1(one) of those, and it's a bulky-ass gayman laptop.
Seperate mechanical keyboards are alright, but they're mostly loud as shit, not without exception. But expensive.
get a netbook
Emacs org mode

So you're going to be typing all your notes? It doesn't matter what laptop you get. Choose a size keyboard that's comfortable for your hands and buy a laptop with that size keyboard. You should be asking "how do I learn latex fast enough so that I can take notes on a laptop in math class this fall". And I'd recommend latex over just word. That shit is such a pain in the ass.
