Hi! As a rather frequent note taker user, or rather...used-to-be frequent user, I find the Mac is more than efficient for my study needs. In fact, I find a notetaker can't even handle most of what I need in my college, and as such, the Mac is much easier to deal with. I use the PAC Mate QX440, which tends to hang or crash quite frequently as I work. I mainly just have it in my house now, but I haven't turned it on for months because of that very fact.
To be fair, though, I've never found any notetaker sufficient for any real usage when it comes to others than taking notes. When it comes to using applications such as Power Point, at least on the PM, JAWS eats up too much processing power to be of much use and as such, most of the applications that otherwise might work fine cause crashes or slow responsiveness. I'd find the Macbook much better to work with. It's fast and powerful, and does what you want. VoiceOver is great, but there are still some things that need perfecting. Working with tables can sometimes be a bother, until you get used to the various bugs and discover workarounds for them.
