What are the best tablet apps for importing PDFs, writing annotations directly on them, and taking side-by-side notes? Looking for recommendations and your preferred workflows
Over the last few days, I've been thinking about ways to improve my productivity across my personal life, studies, and work.
My initial idea was to start using a Kanban board together with a calendar/planner.
At first, I thought about using a physical whiteboard with markers. I don't really like using sticky notes, so I liked the idea of writing directly on the board. However, I realized that this would create another problem: I would constantly have to erase and rewrite things, and the board would need regular cleaning to prevent stains and ghosting.
Then I thought about adding an extra monitor to my computer and keeping a digital Kanban board on it. The downside is that my computer would need to be turned on whenever I wanted to check my tasks.
After that, I considered building a small dedicated setup with a Raspberry Pi. But that would introduce even more things to buy and configure: a display, cables, power supply, mouse, keyboard, and so on.
Eventually, I came to the conclusion that a tablet might actually be the ideal solution.
I don't need anything particularly powerful, since the main purpose would be to keep a Kanban board, task manager, calendar, and possibly a few other productivity apps open. Because of that, I could buy an older and relatively inexpensive Android tablet instead of spending a lot of money on a newer model.
I actually found a used tablet that comes with a charging station, which seems almost perfect for this idea. I could leave it permanently on my desk in landscape mode, at a comfortable viewing angle, and use it as a dedicated productivity display while I'm working on my computer.
The problem is that I don't have much experience with Kanban or similar productivity methodologies yet, and I'm also not sure how I should structure a setup like this on Android.
I have a few ideas, but right now it feels like I would have to experiment through trial and error until I find a workflow that works well for me.
Has anyone here done something similar?
I'd really like to hear how you use a tablet as a dedicated productivity station, especially for:
* Kanban boards
* Task management
* Calendar and scheduling
* Personal projects
* Work or study organization
I'm particularly interested in adopting Kanban because I think the visual nature of the method would work really well on a tablet that's always sitting on my desk in its charging station.
I'd appreciate any advice on apps, workflows, board structures, dashboards, or even pictures/videos of similar setups.
MY PRIORITIES:
1.Note taking - Need a good Stylus with good note taking software
Good screen for watching lectures
Good enough performance so that it doesn't lag for the next 5-6 years
Budget is 45k INR
Afaik the options are
Oneplus pad 2
Xiaomi pad 8
S10lite (Processor sucks a bit tho)
Lenovo ideatab pro gen 2
Also wondering whether a 13" screen would be better
I'm an A level student taking Sciences, I mainly need a tablet to make notes, stream shows ,watch YouTube, play some games, listen to music etc so very basic everyday use stuff which tablet should I go with
If I do get an iPad A16 I'll get the apple pencil Usb-c with it and the total cost is in my budget so what should I go for?
My mind is still debating if i'll get IPAD or Android Tablet. I want y'alls opinion on this. PLEASE 😭🤞I just want it to be worth it.
- Ipad a16
-Xiaomi pad 7
-Xiaomi 8
-Huawei (because sa free microsoft and all)
- Honor pad 9 or 10
I'll use it for:
studying
taking notes
netflix
roblox
listen music
I was planning to buy iPad A16 for a long time and waiting for BBD sale.
Now, price of iPad has gone above 40k, doesn't sound reasonable.
OnePlus pad 2 is at 30k which excellent as my budget was 30k. Good for gaming and multimedia.
I need a tab where I can consume multimedia, do basic note takings, reading books, like to explore gaming and great longevity.
Should pay more and buy iPad or go for oneplus pad 2.
Please suggest one.
If you have used OnePlus Pad 2, tell are things you didn't like.
