The Lenovo Tab P12 Pro comes with Precision Pen 3. Both are meant to complement each other, with the Pen allowing the tablet to take notes. 

It features a sleek, gorgeous design alongside a fantastic 12.6 inch 2K AMOLED display equipped with a Snapdragon 870. The tablet is fairly quick, has an 8-9 hour battery life, and checks all the boxes, especially given its relatively reasonable price.

When it comes to note-taking. I have some issues. First of all, the screen is highly sensitive. In essence, palm rejection doesn’t really work all that well here, and you’ll see random squiggles in your sheet more often than not. Plus, the stylus feels cheaper in comparison to other Samsung, Apple, and Microsoft. 

In my opinion, the stylus made more sense when browsing and clicking or taking quick notes rather than for serious note-takers.(Maybe Samsung and Apple has spoiled me) This is because the stylus’s interface itself needs improvement. It feels bogged down by the plethora of features that the tablet tries to throw on you and feels glitchy sometimes.

 But, if you are someone who can let go of all the third-party nuances and features, then the nib and overall stylus just feels alright. 

 I found this a bit disappointing simply because the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro is an excellent tablet. And, if it wasn’t for the sub-par stylus, I would’ve easily ranked it higher.

Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 is just what you need if you want something with a larger display. On top of being light and portable, this device has a Qualcomm Snapdragon SC7180 processor. It was released in 2021 and works on Chrome OS 32-bit. What’s great is that it has 3 storage space options, respectively 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. There’s no SD card slot, though. You can get it in 4GB or 8GB RAM, and it only costs $499, making it an affordable option.

The tablet’s screen is 13.3 inches and has a 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution. It’s an OLED display that reaches 400 nits and has a 60Hz refresh rate, with 166 ppi and a 16:9 ratio. The cameras include an 8MP back one and a 5MP selfie one. One downside would be that there’s no cellular connectivity, so you can only use it on WiFi. 

This tablet also has a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port, and the 42Wh battery gives you up to 15 hours of battery life. It’s available in Abyss Blue and Storm Gray. Its body is built from aluminum, making it stronger.

Because it has stylus support, the tablet is excellent for graphic artists or art students. It also lets professionals and students take notes when necessary. Furthermore, the fact that it’s a 2-in-1 laptop improves productivity.
