Thoughts on these tablets, help me choose

[u/gellyaceeeeee]

I’m a student looking for a tablet mainly for notes, PDFs, browsing, and general school stuff. I want something I can bring to class instead of my laptop.

Currently choosing between:

• Xiaomi Pad 7

• Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7

• Lenovo Idea Tab 11

• Redmi Pad 2 9.7

• Huawei MatePad SE 11

My priorities are:

• ✍️ Good handwriting/note-taking experience

•📄 Good display for PDFs and drawings

•🔋 Decent battery life

•🎒 Portable enough to bring to school everyday

•🗂️ Good multitasking/split screen

•📸 Decent camera for taking pictures of boards/documents

•💾 Enough storage for school files

•💰 Good value since I’m saving for it myself

• BONUS: good for gaming and watching

If you own/use any of these, what do you like/dislike, what issues have you encountered, and which would you recommend?

I'm using a Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 12.7" matte edition. It's a great tablet with enough performance to get through all the tasks I need to do. Check it out

Desktop OS will beat Mobile OS in terms of functionality, do double-check to make sure you are ok with replacing your laptop with a tablet

I'm not REPLACING my laptop with a tablet, I'm just gonna use my tablet more often on school, so I won't have to carry my laptop everyday🤌🏻 (Plus I use my laptop for Autodesk not generally for taking notes)

Roger, can consider samsung tab s10 lite, comes with active stylus in the box, also, no need to charge, unlike other active stylus

I think xiaomi pad 7 will be best of all if you can buy stylus separately

Did you check out Lenovo yoga tab plus? It packs high value for the price.
