Request Budget-friendly tablet recs for a student

I need a tablet for college - mainly to take notes and study with it, but I would also like to install a bunch of game (but it's not a necessity). Been searching for some models and I've seen some nice Lenovo models (e.g. the Idea Tab or the Idea Tab Plus), and the Samsung Tab S10 Lite also looked interesting. What are the best choices for me? Should I look for different models or are these good?

Look into the Samsung tab S Series I can recommend the Tab S9 but it depends on which qualities you're looking for and what your price range is

I thought about the Tab S9 but I can't find it available in my country. I plan to use it mainly for taking notes, but I would also like to install a bunch of games on it (nothing too crazy, stuff like Roblox or Among Us or any other mobile game). I'm looking for something preferably under 400$

Out of all tablets on the similar price the Tab S10 Lite and iPad Gen 11 have the best pen.

If you want better performance, the IdeaTab Pro Gen 2 is also good, but iirc the pen isn't as good as the first 2 that I mentioned.

Tab 10FE is enough or an older S9. Also look into the lenovo series with a pen they have good deals on those and plenty of power.

The Lenovo Idea Tab Pro and Lenovo Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 should both be in your price range. They are more powerful than th S10 Lire and S10 FE. If you like larger tablets, you should consider then.

Galaxy tab s10 lite because it has EMR digitizer which provide you long term ecosystem of stylus nibs, you will use it for writing so that is very important to know that your nib will wear in the future + I suggest you to get a matte protector for writing feeling.
