I'm looking for a tablet for my daughter for college that she can use for note taking, writing papers, internet research etc. Would you recommend?

Probably not if she intends to use it in the classroom or for lectures. Might be a little small. I would recommend a 10" convertible tablet/laptop combo. I have two sons, one in high school and one in college, and they are using 10" and 11" convertibles in the classroom very successfully and like the ability to detach the tablet from the keyboard/cover.

your best bet is not to buy this tablet in the first place. If you already have it, there are good apps out there in the app store that let you read all of them.

Nope. It's basically an excellent tablet with keyboard. Might as well buy a real laptop for that, lots of deals under $300 going on now!

I know they have apps that might work at taking notes for class. It's sort of a small tablet for that I would consider something a little larger for myself.

I'm a designer and illustrator, but I also use the tablet just to navigate around. And if you can type with a pen in your hand, you don't even have to put the pen down when you're writing someone a note.

This device isn't made to do stuff like that. Stick to the Surface Pro products if you want real stylus interaction. I'd recommend Surface Pro 2 as it's got better battery than the first gen stuff and it's not as expensive as Surface Pro 3. Remember you want surface PRO not Surface or Surface RT.

you may want to add a bluetooth keyboard if you spend extended time on the internet. they are inexpensive and work great to save screen space. You may want to consider the new 13" tablet. It is what I want. I wish I could trade mine for that model.I would be willing to negotiate a barter if interested: grant at firstlinkinc dot us :mine is like new

Yes. It is fast, has a touch screen and can handle all the latest software. I bought for my college freshman

You are welcome. This is a great tablet for the money. I brought it for my grandson at Christmas and he is really enjoying it.

Jessica, So glad you asked before buying this thing. The zeepad we got was total garbage. I got it for my nephew and it was almost unusable. The screen is unreadable, it pixelates like crazy, and the device itself feels shoddy. Thankfully, Amazon is awesome and I was able to easily return it for a refund that I put towards the purchase of a Kindle Fire (the 159 dollar ad supported one). Lesson learned as far as I am concerned. The Fire is an awesome device and nothing in the under 300 dollar tablet market comes close to it for performance and value. As for 10-inch tablets, my ASUS Transformer is amazing and I use it constantly. Either would do what you are looking for. Hope this helps.

Hello. I am not sure what you would want him to be able to do, but some things that might interest him is that he can use the Tablet for streaming Netflix, downloading games to play, Skyping with you (if his parents set him up first,) etc. Thank you

Hello I bought the Wacom tablet because I'm a graphic designer and digital artist, for me, was the best money I ever spend, I work daily with my Wacom and I never regret for purchased it. If you will gift it to your daughter I recommend you buy a briefcase for save it and carrier it (the original box is not good enough), a flex laptop table or something like that for comfort and better grip too.I use a laptop stand similar to this Rolodex Mesh Workspace Laptop Stand, Black/Silver (82410)

I do not use the tablet for drawing. I use it most always for 3D modeling rather than a mouse. My uneducated guess is that it is an excellent and less expensive choice for graphics/drawing. My only complaint is a lack of a software settable pressure threshold as the pen engages with the slightest touch to the tablet.

With two in college, I would say that these units would definitly do the job, as tablets ...especially with the USB port for an add-on keyboard. In the classroom the tablet works best, but I got laptops for my son and daughter because they also needed compose papers, and such outside the classroom with a keyboard and mouse. If you go with a tablet I would not go any smaller than a 10 inch.

Yes, I agree with B. Pease, if you have the option to purchase a more capable tablet, then go for it. But if you're like me and trying to stay budget and don't mind a little bit less performance in some more graphically demanding applications, then this Coby Kyros would suffice. If you don't find it on the built in app website, I recommend downloading the 1mobile app from 1mobile.com from your tablet, it's really nice.

The tablet works great. I purchase two of them but one of the has a problem with the power button. Tablet still works though. My daughters use it for everything. I do recommend that you purchase a large Micro Sd card for the tablet at least a 16gb card. Other than that its a great tablet. Oh! Last thing try to get the forward and back facing camera. Its a little more but worth it.

This computer is a replacement for a desktop! In that arena it's an excellant choice for a student. It will not last as a daily laptop for battery use in class & at a study hall. If you are the type that uses a tablet for class & library notes to be transferred to a thesis this would be perfect. Decided if you're a single machine student then no. A student who wants the best from their education then this is the main cog you need!
