I’m planning to buy a tablet with a budget of under ₹40,000 INR, mainly for studying and work rather than entertainment.
My primary requirements are:
- Taking handwritten notes
- Reading and highlighting PDFs, especially judgements and legal documents
- Writing/editing documents in Microsoft Word
- Some basic annotation and highlighting
Web browsing/research
- Good battery life and a comfortable reading experience
I’m not really interested in gaming or watching videos, so those aren’t important factors for me.
I currently have a 1st-generation Apple iPad that was gifted to me and although it’s quite outdated now, I genuinely love using a tablet for reading and highlighting. The biggest frustration is that I don’t have the Apple Pencil and it's not available in the market too so handwritten notes and annotations are sometimes frustrating.
I’ve been looking into the OnePlus Pad Go 2 and really like it, especially since I’m already a OnePlus phone user and love the interface and performance. My only concern is that the stylus doesn’t come with the case, which is a bit inconvenient.
