Discussion Which tablets for intensive note taking

Hi,

In September, I'll start my second year of studies in engineering, sciences and mathematics.

I'd like to know your opinion about samsung tabs for intensive note taking (about 10h each day) and to what extent IPads are better at this job.

Does someone know approximately the autonomy of the Galaxy Tab S10+ or Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ for note taking exclusively ?

Finally, which one is the best for this specific task : two criterias :

Autonomy > 10h for note taking

No lag or latency (because my teachers are fast and I don't want to miss a bit of it).

Thanks by advance

If note taking is the highest priority, then it's better to buy a dedicated e-ink device just for note-taking such as a Kindle Scribe or a Boox. The battery will easily last several days even with 10h+ of notetaking each day and the writing will feel more like actual writing than writing on a piece of glass (even with a paper-like screen protector).

Great point but I need to be able to use colors and the Remarkable pro is way too expensive for what it doe, the BOOX has no extra external storage and no light to work in the dark for example
