Ask HN: What is Your Digital Note Taking Solution?

8 pointsnsomaru2 comments

Hi HN.

I am trying to find the perfect note-taking solution for my requirements below.

Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Requirements:

-- No paper -- Tablet -- Pointed Stylus (not cumbersome finger-sized ones) -- Ability to view and edit previous pages -- Integrated device (view + edit on the same device) -- Price: ~$200 -- Support in India

Thanks.

The only one that fits your description and is not too big is the Galaxy Note 8.0, but it's about 2x more I think.

You won't find any tablet that is $200 and does what you need, and even if you want, it will probably be terrible performance/quality wise. I do think this one should've been $300 with a 1080p screen, but this is what you get right now.

You're not going to realistically get a tablet with those features at that price. You're best bet is probably to go with the Galaxy Note 8.0 or buy a used iPad and a capacitative stylus (with the Notability app, this is an amazing solution despite the fact that it uses a "finger-sized" stylus - Wacom tablets are expensive).
