<p>Are these used much at college?
Pros/cons?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I don’t know if they’re used much, but I bought this for each of my two children; one in high school and one in college. The HS kid said he would never use it and we returned it, but the college kid really likes it and uses it. It is pretty amazing. The down side is that it can only be used with special Livescribe notebooks. The notebooks are not too expensive - a 4 pack at best buy is 19.99, but I just found them on Amazon for only about $11 for the 4 pack. So not bad at all. They also make some special paper, like graph paper,etc. but we’ve only bought the regular spiral notebooks.</p>
<p>I am thinking of getting this for my dyslexic highschooler if he doesn’t get his typing speed up for the laptop.</p>
