I am currently using an OG iPad and am looking to upgrade to either the 4th gen iPad or the iPad Mini. I take a lot of notes in class and was considering the iPad Mini as it is a little more portable. Would the 7 inch screen be troublesome when it comes to note taking? Or should I just go for the 4th gen? This question is mainly for anyone who has used a 7 inch tablet before. But any other input would be helpful? I'm having a hard time deciding which one I want to get.

iPad 4 better screen faster .. And can handle anything you want .. I would think smaller screen it would be harder but I'm sure it's possible with the 7.9 mini

I was thinking of getting the mini for taking notes in class also. I think it's a perfect size for a portable note taking like experience. Almost like a note pad. Well have to see when we actually get out hands on it

How do you take notes? I have an iPad 3 and I have used a stylus but now use a Bluetooth keyboard. I am anxious to see how both of these methods work on the iPad mini.

ZAGG already has a keyboard-case for the iPad Mini. Looks like it would be great for what you want to do.
