I've been wanting to buy one for uni stuff. Been looking at the Samsung ones, are they good or am I falling for the marketing??

Looking at an S10 fe+ for like 400$
>>
Tablets are for kids though
>>
>>108176154
Yes, and I love both.
>>
Buy an iPad or you're gonna have a bad time.
>>
>>108176197
Ayyooo?
>>
>>108176279
Ain't got nothing from apple tho
>>
>>108176304
You don't need to.
But Android tablets have shit app support. They can run Android phone apps, but often poorly. iPads just have a better software ecosystem in general.

>>108176469
What about dex? Is it good or like a marketing thing?
I was kinda inclined because of it
>>
>>108176114
I think they're fine. I use as a pdf editor and note taking for my job. There some niche applications that I wish I had an apple tablet for but not really worth the hassle of having a dedicated apple product when most my stuff just works together.

Why not go for a cheaper tablet?
>>
>>108176560
Mostly screen size and the included s pen desu
Is 470$ to much for an S10 fe+? Or should I go for the lite?
>>
>>108176485
Dex is surprisingly solid, but tablets in general are absolute memes.
If you want to take notes by hand, I suppose they're alright, but I prefer paper.
If you're doing anything else, a laptop will likely be a better experience.
If you are taking notes, any tabel with stylus support will be fine, and there is no need to paypig for an iPad.
The big ones can allow manga to be read 2 pages at a time, which is the only use case besides taking notes by hand that I can find for these things.

Keep in mind that there are NO Android tablets that will support over 3 major OS upgrades. I know Samsung does 3 major upgrades and some others only 2. I'm anti-apple and will never buy an ipad, but this is an issue with Android tablets. I'm now on an 11 year old Samsung Tab A and the last update was in 2017 kek.

I did a math degree. We had someone in class that wrote down everything on a laptop using latex. He said that if you get used to it, it is superior to handwriting. Maybe try it out first.

You can get a used Surface Pro and get a REAL computer instead. ARM tablets = toddler pacifiers.

>>108176114
Just buy an iPad already

This.

Fuck you, fucking retarded indians paid by Apple to shill their shit. iPads suck. One has to be a hopeless retarded goycattle to buy a tablet with non upgradable storage.
>>
>>108180283
Android tablets don't have upgradable storage these days either, grandpa.
>>
>>108176114
why would you buy anything other than an ipad...

Aren't all browsers based on safari on ios? Kek. I want a real browser with ublock origin and other essential extensions. Also I don't like how apple fakes benchmarks and every single media outlet reports it as facts. I just don't trust those fags in general. My work-provided MBP is their only device in my house.
>>
>>108182589
safari on ios supports ublock origin

>>108182681
Only ublock origin light, fuck off.

Never owned an Apple product so I'm not familiar with the ecosystem or how their product line works with ones outside of it
>>
>>108182848
well, it's an ipad. third party keyboards and cases and shit will work. get the apple pencil version that matches the ipad. bluetooth stuff just works. if you start using apple products together you get extra features. i've had both an ipad and android tablet and the ipad experience is better.

>>108176154
ever hear of books, zoomie?

>>108180304
hello from a lenovo idea tab.
I mostly use this thing to play solitaire and watch old pirated anime, for $180 its alright, stylus kinda sucks but im no drawfag.
>>
>>108182916
It doesn't come with the pencil??
>>
>>108176923
>over 3 major OS upgrades
>I GOTTA UPDOOT!!!
>>
>>108176114
They're pretty alright for drawing. I flimflammed my S8 ultra from Amazon and terms of responsiveness it's fine for clip studio paint, but tends to lag with bigger art pieces, I found that s10 plus ultra doesn't have that issue.
>>
>>108187607
Security updates stop as well some time after the last possible upgrade. My last one on this tablet is from 2017. I bet someone can hack my ass through some Bluetooth vulnerability.
>>
>>108187636
I was thinking of buying the S10 ultra but I find it a little bit too big to carry around, the S10+ seems like a better size but can't find it in stock
>>
>>108176114
Depends on what matters to you, if you need goodnotes (the best app OAT) and you don't wanna use the tablet for much content watching then buy an ipad.

However if you can deal with alternative apps that aren't as good as goodnotes (notewise for android is the best I've used) and also wanna use the tablet heavily for content then yeah go with a samsung tablet which has an oled screen by all means.

If you've got money then ipad pro is hands down the best you can get for studying + content.

>I've been wanting to buy one for uni stuff
First ask yourself if you REALLY need one. I'm in grad school and I'm using my S8 to read papers, take notes, and teaching. But most of the time you can do these things way better with pen & paper.
>>
>>108189457
I'm doing some research and writing papers so I need to read a lot of papers and reports, I'm also dyslexic and need to change the font to read them so I'm bound to digital
>>
>>108189457
Pen & paper are objectively inferior at scale. If you write a lot and then read those notes a lot then it makes sense to have them on a medium that you can easily edit.
