#23Actually, this just gave me a crazy idea... what if laptop manufacturers included something low powered like a boogie board device on the outside of the screen, which could write / save directly to some small internal storage of the laptop, and then the resulting notes could be accessible via the laptop when turned on? Kind of like.. a poor man's tablet on the outside of a laptop? I wonder the cost of that vs. touch…
And to erase it you could... shake your laptop?

#24Or you can use a laptop with touch screen and/or a digital pen... And Google and microsoft have note taking apps that makes your hand writing searchable. Edit: wow, some people on HN really dislike touchscreens...
Yeah was just going to say, this is what the Surface Book was built for.

#25My fear would be that my notes are being erased when putting the notebook into my backpack.
I believe correctable pens solve this issue.
Wipebook (http://www.wipebook.com) did a short video comparing correctable vs. dry-erase vs. non-permanent pens:

It demonstrates their resilience to accidental erasure.

The Boogie Board is erased by pressing a button.

Microsoft has also a digital whiteboard product line that looks like oversized surface tablets.
Very expensive and very popular I've been told.

I've seen some prototype laptops with a bistable e-ink touchscreen on the back, that could retain its image with the laptop turned off.

#29You can get a quart of chalkboard paint for $15.
You can even recycle broken laptops by painting the screen!

#30I think this is a really good idea, but if you look on eBay you can buy a 200cm by 45cm (~ 78.7 in by 17.7in) vinyl whiteboard sticker for $5. You could buy this, trim it down and use it on a handful of laptops at a significantly cheaper cost. There are lots of other listings for "whiteboard vinyl sticker" but here is the $5 one:

Also, I wonder if a "whiteboard magnet" would stick well to a mabook or aluminum bodied portable - wouldn't leave any residue: http://www.ebay.com/itm/17-x-11-Dry-Erase-Magnetic-Refrigera...
