Hi there,
I've been really tempted to purchase a tablet recently. Primarily I'm looking to use it for media consumption, note taking/study and general portability. I currently have a powerful desktop that I do most of my work on and a decent little 13 inch laptop that I rarely use due to it being a tad cumbersome. I've been thinking about getting a 10+ inch tablet to take/organize my notes whilst studying online. I do currently have a Samsung A2 from a while back but the lack of finger print or facial unlocking and inability to use a decent pen for note taking combined with it's generally slow/clunky performance has relegated it to the drawer. I also have a kindle that I use primarily for books.
I guess I'm trying to work out is a tablet worth it, as an android (Samsung) phone user I've been leaning towards Samsungs product line but then the new release of the iPads with M1 chips has been tempting. I have also heard leaks that the s7 line is potentially going to be updated to s8 sometime this year so maybe it's not a good time to purchase?
any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm not overly budget conscious and would be more focused on having a good performing product rather than bang for the buck but spending $1000 USD on a tablet just seems a tad excessive if the performance is meh compared to a similarly priced laptop.
