As someone who's taken notes with my laptop for my bachelor and master degree, these studies seem to miss a lot of the learning process. For starters, it's not just "take notes" and leave it at that. Those notes are reviewed, modified, reorganized, corrected, and studied. It's so much easier to just carry a laptop with several files instead of a variety of notebooks. So much easier to search in files, to rewrite/reorganize... And, for a lot of people like me who have bad handwriting (that gets worse with fatigue), they're also so much easier to read. It's also far easier to take collaborative notes. In other words, the relation effort-results can be far higher with laptops than with writing.
