Our team of reviewers have assessed a range of tablets from each category, that come with a stylus that you can buy right now, whatever your budget. There are also three categories to be aware of – pen computers (standalone devices), pen displays (these need a computer) and graphics tablets (no screen and need a computer). This is essential to understand how these tablets can differ in size but also latency, resolution and feel – leading manufacturers aim to emulate the sense of using paper and canvas.

(When our team review tablets they are tested for up to two weeks at a time). The tablets in my list have been tested the Creativebloq team, and we use many of them regularly. I personally use an iPad Pro daily for sketching in Procreate, while I have also used the budget-friendly HP Chromebook X2 for streaming and digital art. And does ten OS connect to Discord and the newer AI apps that are on the rise? Also consider accessories, a keyboard could become essential over time. More than this and you're getting into high-spec laptop replacements.įinally, you'll need at least 4GB RAM, I'd suggest at least 64GB and you'll need Cloud storage. In terms of price, a tablet in the $500 / £500 - $700 - £700 range is good, this would include iPad, iPad Pro and Samsung Galaxy Tab S8. So you don't need the largest screen, as portability is vital (so an iPad Pro 11-inch is good, as is a smaller, new iPad). Here I'm looking at general studies and not hardware intensive tasks. If you haven’t tried it out yet, you should and you just might be pleasantly surprised.A good student tablet depends on what kind of study you're doing. If you have OneNote already, you can update it by going to the Google Play page. The update, of course, brings the usual bug fixes and improvements that come with every rollout. With the advent of more styluses (styli?) on both smartphones and tablets, this is a very useful feature to have. And if you’re a bit obsessive about keeping everything organized and the same size, you can now adjust the size of both the images and the text on your note.įor those who use their stylus to write or draw on OneNote, the app now supports palm rejection so your hands won’t mess up what you’re trying to jot down. You can now freely select ink drawings and other content on the page that you want to save just by lassoing what you want to capture. Users have been requesting this feature from Microsoft for some time now, and they have finally listened. Having a lasso tool for a note-taking or capturing app is always a must-have.
