How is it for writing (taking class notes) &amp; drawing? I do a lot of note taking using my Samsung tablet so I wonder if anyone might have experience with both devices. I like the finish result on the iPad mini, but the stylus is just not as great as the...

I was hoping for more out of this stylus, I like to draw alot on my iPad air but sorry to say that this stylus is just not that good. Really have to press down hard to get it to work, also you have to hold it straight up and down. Stick with bamboo stylus for your drawing or note taking. The two things I do like about it is the feel and beautiful design/look.

I got this tablet a week or two ago and am pretty sure you can use a stylus, Samsung has these available so they should be compatible with the tablet 100%. If it is worth or not it depends on you! I do a lot of drawing so could be nice for example, or it is more comforable than just a finger and also keeps it cleaner :)

i use it mainly for writting and taking notes in class, but from what i can tell it will work for drawing. the tip is thinner that most other styluses, which i like. i was really surprised by it. i just needed a cheap replacement for mine, and i love it!

I upgraded from the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 to this model two months ago. The S Pen technology is wonderful, although I decided to also upgrade on the pen itself (to a design more similar to a regular pen because the included one is quite small). I'm amazed at how well it can read and convert my handwriting to text. I used it to take notes at a meeting yesterday and it was great. Printed them out and was good to go! I think you'll find this model will more than meet your needs, and this is a great price because it is a prior year model.

Stylus is one of the best features. I am using it to write this now. Translation accuracy depends on the apps you are using. I tried using SNote but it was a bit laggy and it had trouble recognizing my extremely sloppy handwriting. I use One Note now to handwrite notes, then transcribe them using the on-screen Windows Stylus keyboard, which is very accurate even for my handwriting. The Slate 7 SPen also works with this, if you like using a pen-sized stylus and an eraser.

Yes. I use it for note taking all the time. I use Papyrus instead of the native handwriting app as I find it a much better experience. I then export into Evernote for additional organization.

I suggest you look at some of the video reviews on YouTube. I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition which replaced my iPad 2. After 2 years I found the iPad to be very boring. If you have specific applications or games in mind I suggest you check if they are available in the iTunes and the Google Play Stores. In general, both stores have pretty much the same, or similar, applications. The Note Pro and my Note 10.1 (2014) have nearly identical specifications and performance. Both the Tab Pro and iPad Air are very fast with high resolution screens, although the Tab Pro has significantly higher resolution. If I were in the market today, I would purchase the Samsung Galaxy Pro 10.1, especially if productivity is important to you.

I don't know how the ipad air would respond to it but with my tablet I have to push a bit for it to respond, I would think it would work well for note taking. Sorry, I hope you find something that will work well for you.

I think the Wacom Bamboo stylus is preferable for note writing. The amPen nib does drag on a Zagg screen-protected iPad where the Bamboo does not.

Travis, Yes, you can. However, I think a tablet is better for taking notes and studying. The Barnes and Noble Android app also allows highlighting and taking notes and it's easier if you plan on doing a lot of studying. I have used my Nook to read study material as it's easier to carry around than a tablet, but for highlighting and note taking, it's not as efficient. It's more suited to the occasional note taking than for serious note taking during study.

I would recommend this tablet to anyone drawing anything. I am not a professional artist by trade and still found it very easy to pick up and adjust to. One thing that may require adjustment to is the pressure. I typically had a very hard stroke and pressure when using a pencil and found I was wearing out the pen nibs quite quickly (I went through 2 nibs in a time span of about 2 months). After getting used to the more "light" feel, I have been able to use the same nib without any noticeable wear for approximately 8 months now.Long Story Short:Yes I would recommend this tablet for drawing anime for beginners.

I use it with the good notes 4 and it works great so far. I previously used the electronic stylus with my iPad mini and that worked great but when I upgraded my iPad to the Air2 it had a lag which was annoying because I paid $40 for that stylus. I also like the pen that comes attached because sometimes I need to sign things and before I had to take a pen out of my bag to do so. So overall for $10 it's great!!

I originally had the Note 2014 edition and replaced it with a SP2. Ultimately, I wanted to - take notes with a stylus- work with Word (work/school)- annotate PDFs with a stylus- Full web browsing (teach online, so full browser was key)Ultimately, Android is terrible at handling PDFs (seriously, check the reviews for PDF annotating apps) whereas Drawboard and OneNote are perfect for this. Also, native Word beats any and all attempts by other programs. OneNote + Wacom Stylus = perfection in note taking.And... as a bonus, all the desktop programs work. I can do everything with my SP2. I still had to lug around a laptop if I wanted to do Dreamweaver, etc. with my Note 2014.Your use-case may push you in another direction.

No. I use a drawing app and the S pen works great. The screen protestor and S pen work well with various amounts of pressure. I think it's awesome! I'm using it now to write this answer. :)

I have used this stylus with my tablet and it works just fine. I haven't had any issues using mine at all. Hope that helps.

The stylus I think is pretty decent for drawing, but the platform you're working on makes a huge difference too. If your tablet or whatever doesn't pick up the movements quickly enough, your drawings will look bad regardless of the quality of the stylus. So, I like it more than other styli I've tried for drawing, but my drawings still look like butt.

I only use Apple phones, & iPads. My guy-friend has iPhone, iPad, & MacBook Air. We both are using these stylus pens. I've also given these as "gifts" to my fave wait-helps at eating places. They own iPads and love the stylus colors. They're glad to know about ordering these from Amazon. Such a deal!
