If yes, which ones and how satisfied are you?

I was considering trying it, but the ones I have don't seem quite right for the job:

Old Note 9 phone - probably too small
Tab S7+ - seems too big and bulky at 12.4" and 575g, plus it's my main home device

Though about buying a Samsung S6 Lite 2022 - currently for $224, seems about right at 10.4" and 420g. Anyone ever use that one? Is S-pen quality and performance and stuff like palm rejection comparable to flagship products on that cheapie?

Any other good alternatives for a dedicated notetaking tablet? Rival brands?

Imho an ideal device would be ~9" and 350-400g with its own dedicated pressure-sensitive and multifunctional stylus (N-trig or Wacom tech).

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. ▲ Collapse

S7 Tab is fine. Other option - Rocketbook Jan 19

For home settings the S7 Tab works perfectly fine. Just try it if you have it already.
For onsite assignments I heard a lot of positive feedback regarding Rocketbook - a reusable notebook.
