I’m looking for a midrange android tablet, exclusively for taking notes with a stylus in Obsidian. It doesn’t need to be powerful, but just take good notes. The ideal size is anything 11’’ and under. I would also appreciate if it isn’t too bloated, and behaves similar to stock android. I have looked mostly into the Pixel Tablet as well as the Lenovo M11, P11 and K11. Other suggestions are welcome.

    I recently got a supernote, same idea but a bit cheaper, they offer a smaller one, and it runs an android fork instead of a Linux fork. Great for notetaking, haven’t used obsidian but you can side load almost any android app with mixed success

      Nice to see options, I hadn’t heard of them before. Looks like the SN 10.7in is basically the same price as the 10.3in RM2. The smaller SN’s price does make it a nice option for giving it a try. I will bookmark both to see if any sales pop-up. Do ebooks and manga look better than a Kindle? Been thinking of getting something more open than my Paperwhite 2 without the need to jailbreak. I would imagine that tablets like SN or RM would look great since they can have precise fine-point note taking.

        As far as I’ve seen/read they don’t really do sales ever, but sell open box good condition items at a decent discount.

        I have the smaller one, and text looks a lot better than my Paperwhite from 2015, but I haven’t spent a lot of time with a newer Kindle for comparison or looked at manga on either. Even with a magnifying glass you can’t see individual pixels on the SNs though so I would think graphical content would look good?

          Open box might be tempting!

          My Paperwhite is also the 2015 model. Not seeing individual pixels with a magnifying glass is awesome to hear. I certainly think that it would look good for manga or other black and white format comics.
