Best tablet for note taking?

www.aliexpress.com

Surface Pro 4 core m3 it's $600

>>60056261
it's pretty big for reading on a tablet

>>60056312
No it's just about fine little bit over 12 inches

According to my search surface 3. I find one use on eBay for 250.

>>60057116
yeah but there has to be other tablets like the surface out there.

>>60057299
nope. Dell make a tablet with digitizer support but you need to get the pen and I think it runs a gimped version of windows. Every other option is just crappy android tablets and the Shield tablet which is still crappy.

>not this

>>60058688
Class requires not to.

Now that we got that out of the way, can any anons help?
>>60058459
fuck I'm looking into it but I need something like the surface 3. could be smaller or similar size but needs a jack for power bank

>>60058773
>Class requires no pencil and paper
Lies and slander. If your class didn't want you using a pencil they wouldn't want you using a digitizer/stylus either. Your best option is just google drive + keyboard

>>60058773

Class requires a tablet? Wtf kind of Jew-infested major are you pursuing anon?

To answer your question, the surface pro 3 and 4 are both great and meet your needs.

Opinions on Baron Fig's Codex and any other manual-scan-digital note taking systems? Tedious and too much work? Just get a tablet?

>>60058773
Can't you just write notes on paper and then take a picture of the paper with your phone?

>>60058459
>and I think it runs a gimped version of windows
You think wrong.

>>60057299
Wacom has one, though it's not entirely like the Surface. http://www.wacom.com/en-dk/products/pen-computers/wacom-mobilestudio-pro

>>60058912
There are non you mong. Styli are shit at note taking. Either use a keyboard or a pen and pencil.

>>60058773
Use an echo smartpen. That way your technically using a digitizer

>There are non you mong. Styli are shit at note taking. Either use a keyboard or a pen and pencil.

what is surface 3

>>60059039
needs to be a tablet anon, could be windows or android

>>60059062
Get a chrome book, remove the keyboard then just upload your smartpen data into it

>>60054462
The iPad is the best note taking tablet. But obviously doesn't have USB-C or micro USB

>>60059088
are there chrome book 2 in 1s?

>>60059045
A meme that never worked as intended from what I observed of my engineering friends attempts to use it for note taking.

>>60054462
Friend of mine had one. Used it for that. It's really well built and the handwriting is really accurate.

>>60059132
thanks anon

>>60054462
iPad, seriously the touch screen on them are great and use Onenote

smhtbhfamalam

are the samsung tabs any good

>>60059181
Please don't use OneNote. It's shit.

If you're going to use shit like OneNote, you might as well get a Surface. iOS has much better note taking apps.

>>60059207
whats wrong with onenote

Surface studio

>>60059303
something that is portable

>>60059308
>being a manlet

>>60054462
stylus on SP4 is useless for notetaking so I can only imagine how shit it would be on a Surface 3.

>>60059326
Well then I'm looking for an alternative tablet

>>60058800
google drive+keyboard?

>not buying a used Thinkpad tablet PC

My X200 tablet PC got me through my last years in university.

Xperia play

Think pad t420-i masterace

>>60059401
>My X200 tablet PC got me through my last years in university.
pls I need some feedback on tablet thinkpads
>>60059120

also whats your case, looks really comfy.

>>60059401
the batteries on those are expensive

>>60059475
>pls I need some feedback on tablet thinkpads

They are decent, the stylus is very good for notetaking, but it's quite a lot heavier than a normal tablet for toilet/bed browsing. I'm not sure how good finger touch is on the X220 tablet PC, though.

>>60059475
>>60059714
Also, the case is a mini-ITX SilverStone Sugo Series SG05BB.

>>60054462
If your instructors zoom through the notes so fast that you can't write info down on physical paper, and don't give you skeleton notes or a physical coursepack you should probably leave the school and go to a better one.

>>60059714
>>60059475

Don't make the same mistake I did getting the x220t. It's a good laptop but a shitty tablet. It touch response is slow, it does detect stylus if you write near the edge of screen, and it bulky don't expect to use it like tablet.

Acer Switch Alpha

Then toss it after 4 years.

New samsung chrome tablets are coming, iirc.

I'm using an old 2014 note 10.1 running android 7.1. It works okayish for note taking, I made some paper look-a-like pdfs with margins and just write on them using adobe acrobat on android. Cheap, portable, fits my needs for now.

I dislike onenote's needs for ms account and syncing stuff. Writing notes with onenote is superior experience, though. I've had surface pro 2 and 3, yoga 260 and now I usually just keep my samsung tablet with me because its light and I can recharge it with any microusb.

>>60059116
Can confirm

Engineer major here and I've gone back to paper pencil

>>60054462
No tilt support, there cap, it's fucking useless.

>>60062368
this, pens and laptops are for gear queers

which size is the best 8" or 10"?

>>60054462
>I'm not sure but jewgle this.
Huawei Mediapad M2: 10", has stylus. Dunno about the 8" version.

>OP asks for tablets
>Get 2-1 recs

Here OP:

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with S-Pen
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 (comes with S-pen)
iPad Pro 9.7 + Apple pencil

Samsung Tabs comes with Microsoft Suite for Android pre installed. I have the Galaxy Tab A 9.7 with S-pen, is pretty handy for note taking (shame about screen resolution). I would recomend a cheap Bamboo pen for extended periods of time

if you're a cg illustrator or something like that it'd make sense.

if it's just for writing seems a bit overkill

>>60064814
Worst part is now I'm stuck with this shite

Could have got some fancy Thinkpad. At least the book has a 940m

>>60058996
is it not windows RT?

>>60064716
>>60064606
>>60062357
Thanks anons. I'll look into these.

>>60066850
Why the shit would it be Windows RT ? That doesn't even exist anymore.
The Surface clone Dell just recently released is an x86 tablet running Windows 10, just like the Surface.

>>60054462
Are you ready for this brilliance? Do what I do.

Write notes by hand on paper. It's 100x easier and feels 100x better.
Then either take a picture of scan your notes into a computer and put them locally on your device or into cloud storage and organize them all by subjects and topic.

Especially if you're in a class where a professor lectures quickly, you won't be able to keep up on a tablet and schematics and organization won't ever be as good as something on a paper with any lines.

Buy a Nexus 7 or something and an Engineering Tablet and a couple of pens and pencils. Seriously, it will make your life so much easier.

>>60067833
cant use pen and paper it
s been discussed already in htis topic

>>60067919
I refuse to believe a professor would let students take notes on a computer but not with paper. That's literally retarded.
I know professors who don't allow electronics but do allow paper. Which makes some sense.

If there's someone that autistic teaching then you need to switch professors or talk to someone higher up about it because I'm sure a Dean somewhere would not be pleased.

>>60054462
pen paper is the only viable option

>>60067966
>>60067977
Not allowed so I'm looking for a decent tablet .

>>60068096
change course, a retard like that shouldn't even be teaching anyone

>>60068096
I find that really hard to believe. If anything it should be the other way, no electronics devices during lecture. Are you allowed to use your tablet during exams too?

Any other recs other than the pen and paper meme?

>>60068327
Typewriter?

Love my SP3, would recommend. Just make sure whatever you buy doesn't ave a Simplo battery

>>60056312
It's great for reading textbooks and comics

>>60059248
Nothing. He's probably using the gimped version instead of the one that comes with Office 365

>>60067833
>>60067977

Can't make giant, seamless diagrams and flowcharts with pen and paper

Generate a battery report in an elevated command prompt session

powercfg /batteryreport /output "C:\battery_report.html"

>>60068096
Stop being a fag, there's literally no reason to not allow students to use pen and paper, stop lying.
Just tell us the truth, that you actually suck massive cocks and want to look fancy with a tablet and you might actually get real responses.

Who cares about his reason, if he needs help getting a good tablet then so be it.

>>60068096
Try out the Chromebook pro from samsung, it's USB typeC and works well as both a tablet and a laptop fro taking notes. Google play apps also work with it
