I got this tablet to annotate PDFs on OneNote, solve equations, and take notes. I couldn't be happier.
The Precision Pen 2 works great, however if this is your first experience hand writing on a tablet with a stylus, it might take some getting used to. It took me a couple days to feel confident in writing quickly and legibly. Once you get over that hurdle, it's hard to go back to pen and paper.
The tablet itself looks amazing and took very little time to set up. I recommend downloading the update to Android 13, then removing any unnecessary bloatware (Netflix, games, etc.) and turning off the Entertainment Space. Also, seeing as the tablet isn't rocking flagship specs, I'd HIGHLY recommend turning off animations in the settings. Since I use this tablet exclusively for school, I appreciate that I was able to customize the UI to be on the minimal 'distraction free' side.
The battery life on the tablet is more than enough for me to make it through a solid day of lectures, and I easily find myself going a day or two without charging. I do however run the tablet on adaptive brightness and refresh rate, so battery life will vary depending on use case.
The only drawback I've noticed about this tablet is that after some extended use (around an hour) of note taking straight, the tablet will get noticeably warm.
After searching for the 'perfect' note taking device, I can say that this is more than serviceable for most students. It will by no means replace a laptop, however it supplements one phenomenally. Probably one of the best budget options out there at this point in time.
