Tab P12

If you can stretch, the iPad 11th gen is honestly the safest pick for notes + design because of apps and smooth performance. But if budget matters, look at OnePlus Pad 2 or Lenovo Tab P12; both give great performance and bigger screens for less money, just slightly weaker app ecosystem.

The P12 is largely outdated at this point. OS updates are done. security updates until 2027. It also wasn't great when it came out. The idea Tab is ok, but don't expect too much from lt. it's Lenovo's base model budget tablet.

A tablet? Seriously. A tablet with a keyboard case is perhaps a perfect fit. I went overkill with a Tab S9+ But an S9 Fe may fit your income better (second-hand market or "refurbished"), and the keyboard case isn't too pricey. It can use the Microsoft suite perfectly fine. If not, the Collabora Offi

Lenovo idea Tab pro, much better 144hz display and CPU than p12. But yeah still not as good as legion tab 3 which is the best, but legion tab 3 is a much smaller device and more expensive.
