But nobody does this. Classrooms are still full of MacBooks and iPads. It is an assumption that sounds good on paper, but never materialized. If I had to guess why it is because generally your computer you're taking notes on is also a personal machine at college in the sense that you want to have fun with it. So when it comes down to fun with a little awkward notes or good note taking with awkward everything else the Mac products still win out.

Classrooms are still full of MacBooks and iPads because the first modern tablets with active stylus support came out after the fall semester of last year started (meaning the yearly push for students to buy new computers hasn't happened yet) and Microsoft has done a completely terrible job of marketing them. Also, at least at my college, effectively no one takes notes with their laptops or iPads anyway. If they're out in class, it's for Facebook or something else totally unrelated to the class itself. Notes are still written down on good ol' paper.
