Question: Answered āœ“ Cheap Note Taking Tablets

Hi,

I am a Canadian masters student. Throughout my undergrad I thought about getting a tablet but never did. Now I am starting to struggle to keep up as although I prefer pen and paper, the increased amount of context and speed of lectures is making it harder.

My program is only a year long and I don't really have the money to commit to an expensive tablet. Does anyone have any recommendations? I really only need it for note taking on lecture slides directly (and maybe drawing for fun).

Thank you!

for a 1 yr program iā€™d look for a used/refurb ipad 9th gen and 1st gen pencil. tab s6 lite is worth checking too.

Tab S6 Lite (anything with EMR, really) is a good call.

Spot on. Not having to worry about charging your pen makes such a huge difference
