I need one for bookmarking/pdf note making etc. Primarily for court work. But I have budget constraints, Can't go for Pro versions. Which one should I buy? Will an Android tab do the work?
Thanks in anticipation ;)
You'll have to look for other apps which suit your requirements, but I personally couldn't come across any such which actually can hold ground in the face of LiquidText
That apart, Android tabs have decent battery life and memory.
If you can do without LiquidText, you can consider Android
Any alternative for android?
The pen is what matters the most, while the iPad has a pen which gets more features (which are only useful if you're going to use it for art) the spen is much much more lighter and gives a rubber like tip which doesn't feel like you're writing on a screen. The pen is also much smaller and lighter so your hand doesn't pain. On the contrary the iPad pen feels like you're writing on glass.
If you're strictly going to use it for law, reading and notes. The spen is miles better. If you or any family member will also use it for art the iPad is better.
Couldn't find it.
Very good app though. Smoother than liquid text
Even if you get the base model- it is more than sufficient for note taking, reading, movies, online meetings.
Go for the A16 iPad. Don’t buy the Apple Pencil. Instead, get the DIGIROOT pencil from Amazon. It provides all the same functionality that the USB Type-C Apple Pencil offers.
If you're into sketching or drawing, then go for the 1st-generation Apple Pencil, since the USB Type-C version doesn't support pressure sensitivity on the A16 iPad. The DIGIROOT pencil also doesn't have pressure sensitivity, but for taking notes and general use, it's very good and offers similar features at around ₹1,800, much cheaper than the USB Type-C Apple Pencil, which costs about ₹8,000.
The only issue you might face is transferring documents, like PDFs, between the iPad and a Windows laptop. I use Google Drive or iTunes for this.
But overall, the iPad is far better. Please don’t buy an Android tablet, I bought one thinking it could match the iPad’s flexibility and performance, but I was wrong.
You can get the IPad Pro on installments. To save money, get the wifi only verson (use phone hotspot), lowest storage (rest do google drive or onedrive - get 1tb it free with an office 365 license). To save even further, take the IPad Air - down specced but still more than enough for daily use.
Android tablets are good and easy to use but sadly liquidtext not available. Now if it does become available then android rules!
Hope this helps.
