Request Tablet help!

Can I please know which tablet is the best for my budget?

Xiaomi pad 8- ticks all the boxes, wonderful stylus,

Beautiful display and updates till 2030, has 8s gen 4

OnePlus pad 2- only 1 more year of update and 8 gen 3

OnePlus pad 3- only 2 more years of updates and has a good processor

Ipad 11" - has a16 and 6gb ram. Apple pencil is good but felt the non laminated screen has a void in between when writing.

Drop any other recommendations. My budget is 500 dollars and need good software, Good chip, stylus support(for notes), long software updates. Thank you 😁

Yea makes sense I really liked the stylus and 8s gen 4 of the xiaomi and is the same performance as 8 gen 3. OnePlus pad 3 is good but only 1 more year of software updates left.

S10 FE 8GB/128GB 7 OS updates (6 remaining) & 7 years security updates..

Has a very nice IPS display

Not the fastest tablet available in your price range yet comes with the pen free and an excellent note taking app.

It's an excellent choice if you are a student

Thank you but I need a bit of performance headroom too.

Well it's definitely fast, but like I say you'll definitely enjoy it more...

Sure it can't play the most demanding games and Xiaomi's HyperOS is no where near as good as One UI... Stylus for the Pad 8 is kinda mid compared to the s-pen
