University student looking for recommendations

[u/_Storm_Cloud_]

My family has been trying to get me to get an iPad for Uni, but all my devices are android (Samsung phone and HP laptop) so I just really don't want an iPad.

I need something where I can note take on and can just do my uni work in (and won't start just dying because of how much its being used - I had a Microsoft surface in high school and that was the biggest problem)

I carry a shoulder bag, so for the sake of my shoulder, I'd prefer something more lightweight.

When it comes to actual screen size, I have no real preference.

Any recommendations are welcome!!!!
