What is the best product for me?

Next year I will be a college student and want an apple product that can be my notebook. I currently use OneNote on a Toshiba tablet, but want to upgrade to apple. I know that apple does not make a tablet, but I figured I could get an ipad with a stylus for when I need to write things like math. I could also get one of those attachable keyboards for essays and such. Does this sound like a logical system for a college student? Can OneNote even be downloaded on an iPad? I've seen the styluses and they seem a bit weird, with a round rubber tip. It seems as though that isn't very efficient for writing as you wouldn't know exactly where what you draw would show up, am I right about that? If I am, I guess I would just get a normal Macbook and simply use paper for math class. Please let me know what you think would be the best system for me. Thank you!

As for a stylus recommendation - I really have loved the amPen Hybrid Stylus that you can find on Amazon. They are durable, work great, and look good as well. They also come in a variety of colors. The tip on them is made of a fiber mesh and is super soft. It glides easily on screens and does not leave any smudges. They are under 8$ too so you can't go wrong for the price. I got my neices a couple for college around the holidays and they were very excited! They can use em with their phones and tablets. http://amzn.to/1b5zJo0

10/10 for this one!

You should ask around the college you goto. What will be your major?

I'd go with a MacBook Air. Light. Better for document creation. Runs Windows 😢 if you must.

"ixelpoint technology allowed us to shrink the stylus tip size down to 1.9mm; 70% smaller than the nearest competition. While fingers and rubber styluses feel more like markers or crayons, Pixelpoint helped create a true digital pen. The tip’s material was hand-picked to mimic the drag of a pen on paper, giving you more control and better expression in every stroke."
