xiaomi vs apple tablet for note taking in uni

3 Upvotes

i’m a bio student in desperate need for a tablet to take notes, store study materials and slides and just a better studying set up. i also plan to read research papers, annotate and combine methods for my own learning.
i already own a MacBook and iPhone, and i wouldn’t want to give in to spending double the price on an iPad just for the sake of the ecosystem. i’m also on a really tight budget and saving up for an iPad would take me way too long whereas a Xiaomi Pad 8 would ease my learning almost immediately at a very affordable price. Also the Xiaomi Pad 8 is in general a very good device for its price!

i’m just curious, what constraints could i stumble upon if i get the xiaomi that would genuinely make me regret getting an android over an iPad??

I’d appreciate any help.

I'm so in love with my Lenovo yoga tab plus gen 2, I can't suggest it enough

I can't explain how much I've been enjoying drawing on it coming from an iPad.

The pen feedback is insane! It feels like I'm drawing on paper and there's no paper like screen protector!

You ever eat something so good you have to look at the ingredients on the box? I did that with pen because I was blown away.

The only cons so far are that not all art apps support that function and the forcing of ai (you can disable it, i did <3)

Besides that I'm surprised I haven't seen any artists talking about this awesome tablet.

I will say, buy it on sale for 700 if you get it.
