Tablet for studys

[DG House]

Hi guys

A friend of mine gonna study in 2 weeks, she ask me for a good Tablet with follow features

- downloading skripts (good Wlan antanna/card)

- handwrite detection and trans scripting to plane text

- Screen size like DIN A4

- 64gb storage or more (SD card slot is welcome)

- and good battery capacity

- Budget 500€, German market (Europa)

 

i also thought about a tablet thats powered/processed by her Smartphone

The handwriting translation sounds like the hard one.  That’s generally an OS thing and varies by how much a given person’s handwriting gets along with the software.  3 options:  android, windows, or iOS.  May also vary a lot by language, so a bunch of unknowns.  Finding an OS preference may be step one.

Outside chance there’s some third party software that does a better job in a given situation, but handwriting recognition is one of those really hard expensive to solve problems that OS writers like.

Fellow german here, i used it for digital handwriting for a year.

iPad > All.

Performance, consistent Battery Life, App quality is unparalleled.

App Quality here: there are a bunch of very high quality apps with different pros/cons, while there is much less in Android, or Windows (which basicly has only OneNote, maybe Nebo).
Main example: Goodnotes 5, and Notability. (Paperless X channel on Youtube did an indepth comparison between those 2.

 

I highly recommend going for an iPad (In 2 months, new iPads will probably be launched) because of that.

For some things, there are workarounds like File management etc. But they are worth it for the better experience.

 

And you won't want to write your bachelor thesis on it.

Heyo

In my research i found the Paperless YT channel, its really nice for that work with awesome tutorials

usually i avoid apple stuff cause of the closed eco system, but i let her decide.

I know, there are some stuff that's not that simple, as with Android of Windows.

But the optimization, and Apps are worth it.
I would at least try it out, or watch some youtube videos about that topic.
