You'll look like a mega nerd if you pull that out in a classroom, assuming you even have the desk space. Not to mention the qol improvement of having your pen touch the screen you're drawing on.
A mega nerd for pulling out a 7 by 6 inch touchpad with a pen next to your laptop? They're not talking about a full fat Wacom tablet, and besides, it's really not that hard to write on a screen vs a tablet, in some cases even better because your hands don't cover parts of it up (I have both an iPad with a pencil and a Wacom).
Plus on macOS you can easily use note taking apps with the Wacom touchpad that then digitize the text to make it searchable.
Does the Wacom show the actual result of the writing, or do you need to look at the screen? This feels like a bad solution to needing an electronic notepad.
Not really, sure it is easier to find your cursor but that is not very hard using an external tablet, and you get much better ergonomics plus you can see what is under your hand.

the difference between writing on a screen and writing on an external tablet is hard to overstate...
A Huion Kamvas then, still way cheaper than an iPad.
Not really, it works just fine and you don't obscure the screen with your hand.

also, they still sell paper notebooks )
If digital version is important, there are probably some scanning apps.
