Which tablet to use for Uni?

I'm going into my first year at Durham University this year to study English Literature and am planning on using a tablet/iPad to make lecture notes on. Which tablets/iPad are the best for Uni students? Does anyone know if Microsoft Surface tablets are good?

Hey @ellie_steele

Congratulations on your place at university!!

I'm not sure about what would be best for English Lit specifically, but a lot of people on my course do use Microsoft Surface tablets. I personally prefer just to use a digital pen on a lenovo flex 5 because it means that I don't have to carry around an ipad and a laptop, but some people also prefer to leave their laptop at home and just take a tablet to lectures.

To be honest, my advice would be to research a few options over the holidays but stick to pen and paper for the first couple of weeks. Then you can see what others are using, and order an ipad/tablet to the porters lodge based on what you think will work for you.

I hope you have the best time at uni!
