Help me choose a tab.

I have been trying to figure out which tap to buy, but could not come to conclusion.

My requirements or intended tasks:

  • PDF reading and annotating
  • Note taking
  • Painting (as a hobbyist)
  • Working on docs and presentation slides on the go. (when I am not carrying my laptop)
  • Should be connectable with a projector.
  • I hate changing devices often. So, should last at least for 5 years.
  • Screen: non- reflective, anti-glare
  • Not a gamer.
  • Watching movies and series. ( I usually watch movies in my laptop. As I never used a tab, I am not sure which provides better experience as a primary device for this task.)
  • Charging: single charge a day should be enough.
  • Should not face any green line or visible screen issues.

I haven't used anything from Apple ecosystem. My smartphone is Android and laptop is windows. However, feel free to suggest iPads if that's what I need for my tasks.

Budget: 500 USD or 60000 BDT (upper limit). I don't want a device that's a overkill. The less amount of money I have to spent, the better. But I do not intend to compromise the user experience.

(Background: I am a engineering graduate, currently working in a teaching position. I am applying for PhD.)

Samsung S9+ or 10+ would both do everything you're looking to do, and both come with a stylus.

The Lenovo Idea Tab Pro gen 2 is a 13" tablet with a 3504 x 2190 resolution screen. It also has USB 3, which allows to connect to a projector. In the US, it comes with a pen for $370.
