The concept is simple: If you like to take notes by hand—with pen and paper—and you’re not above a few diagrams and doodles along the way, Wacom’s Bamboo Slate (http://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/smartpads/bamboo-slate) ($130 and $150 on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-Slate-Tablet-Small/dp/B01KKPBZSK/)) smartpad might be the most optimal way to convert your notes from analog to digital.</p><p>
The Slate is an athletic-coach-style clipboard note-taker, while Bamboo Folio (http://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/bamboo-folio) ($200 on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-Folio-Tablet-Large/dp/B01KKPBW2O/)), a concurrently released variation, works similarly albeit with a different form factor that features an integrated cover. Bamboo Slate’s companion pen, with its traditional ink tip that is not a stylus, lets you jot down notes, upload them to the cloud, and edit and share them in various formats from your iOS devices.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3134744/consumer-electronics/wacom-bamboo-slate-review-smartpad-marries-traditional-note-taking-to-online-output.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
