Hi guys,
I'm currently using my phone to record my college lectures, but that sometimes constitutes quite the battery drain if I forget to charge it the night before.
Is it there a free or cheap app to record lectures on my MBA? I've heard that with the laptop mic being internal, the sound quality would be noticeably worse than - let's say - a phone recording. Is that still true or with the new MBAs/mics has this problem been solved?

I'm not necessarily going to type on my MBA (I've seen apps that combine recording with laptop notetaking) - for some classes like Macroeconomics you simply can't with the amount of graphs you need to draw at a lightning-fast rate, so I'd still take note on paper. Unless there's a slim, light, excellent drawing pad that you could suggest, able to immediately transfer what I'm writing/drawing to a pages file, or storing it in a SD and later transferring it to a pages file...
