In Android world I’ve been using Handrite Pro for several years and it works well for me.

There are no reviews yet, but HP has just announced the world’s first detachable Chromebook that also comes with a stylus, so it looks like Chrome OS (in combination with Android, as most of the dedicated handwritten notetaking apps are Android apps) is jumping on the handwriting bandwagon:
“HP goes up against the iPad Pro with its $599 Chromebook x2”

I have a reMarkable tablet, https://remarkable.com/ I think its great but very overpriced. Fortunately I paid for mine during the kickstarter so I got it cheap.
It does have the friction of writing on paper. The sleve they sell it with isn’t very good and the pen feels a bit cheap but the device itself is great. I used to carry a plastic bag in my backpack containing lots of bits of paper I had written things on which I wanted to keep. The plastic bag went to work with me and back home again. It has now gone and the contents of the bits of paper are now in the tablet.
So all my handwritten notes are now on my laptop, desktop and on my phone as well. Many of them have been copied and pasted into ConnectedText pages.
It doesn’t do anything to improve your handwriting though :(

OR you could just give up on crippled technology and go with Windows 10 on an ink-suitable PC.
Sometimes, there’s a reason that a product has an 85% market share. One Note will easily do what you want.

What “crippled” means is kind of subjective. There are trade-offs with each existing solution, so it depends on which trade-off you find acceptable.
