OneNote always synchronizes your notes with a Microsoft account, so just sign into OneNote 2016 with the same account and you'll have the same notes.Ĭhris Hoffman is the former Editor-in-Chief of How-To Geek. If you want to switch from OneNote to OneNote 2016, it's easy. Just click the 'Windows Desktop' link on the download page. You can also download OneNote 2016 for free from Microsoft, even if you haven't paid for Microsoft Office. If you've installed Microsoft Office, you probably have both installed. The universal 'OneNote' application comes with Windows 10, while 'OneNote 2016' comes with Microsoft Office and is also available for previous versions of Windows. The newer OneNote has a simpler interface, but the older OneNote is just more powerful. The new, universal app version of OneNote included with Windows 10-just named 'OneNote'-doesn't have many options, and won't allow you to disable the web links. There's also a 2016 version still selling for $100 on Amazon, but it's too old.Unfortunately, you can only disable this feature in the classic desktop version of OneNote, named 'OneNote 2016'. They seem identical, but the price has jumped dramatically to $279. Note: I tried the $149 2018 version of the Smart Writing Set, which is no longer available. A pop-up let me know that 2.0 is still a work in progress and I might need to switch back to the older version if my device is having trouble, but my iPhone 11 didn't have any issues. An older version of the app is available for download, but the 2.0 version is more streamlined. The Moleskine Notes 2.0 app (available on iPhone and Android) was easy to use once I settled into it. Write in the notebook and it'll appear in the companion app! But you can buy the pen on its own, as well as the smart notebooks and planners in various sizes. The Smart Writing Set gets you a notebook and pen bundle, so this is the best option for most people starting out. Moleskine has garnered a devoted following for its classic notebooks and journals, but it has also moved into smart territory. The company has added new capabilities since and the price has come down, but it's still best for the simple task of jotting notes. There is no waterproofing, no page-turn buttons, and no backlight. When WIRED writer Louryn Strampe reviewed it in 2020, she noted that other features were lacking and that's still mostly the case. However, you may need a Connect subscription ($3 per month) to access syncing and unlimited cloud storage. You can integrate your notes into Google Drive, Dropbox, or Microsoft OneDrive. You also upload PDFs and ebooks to the slate via the company's app or website, and ReMarkable has a Chrome extension that lets you send any webpage to read on the tablet. There are many ways to organize your work into different notebooks or quick sheets, and you can sort them with tags and folders. The tablet is $299, but you'll need to pay for a pen, which is an additional $79, or $129 if you want the one with an eraser on the other end. There is also a new keyboard attachment if you want to get some typing done (we haven't tried it yet). It can last for several weeks on a charge, and you never have to recharge the stylus, which also magnetically sticks to the side of the tablet. He says the matte screen feels like paper, writing on it is quick and responsive, and battery life is exemplary. This is one of the most well-known names in the category and WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu has been using the ReMarkable 2 for more than a year.
