Looking for a tablet for taking notes in engineering and deeper math classes.

I always used paper or typing (shoutout notesnook), but I want to have a big digital handwritten journal to look back at and reference.

Or if anyone is familiar with custom ROMs for android and know a good and easy to flash tablet.

I already have a thinkpad x1 carbon laptop for everything else.

Tablet will be separate for reading, home assistant, taking notes with Saber and watching entertainment.

Again, looking for a decently easy Linux tablet or de-googleable tablet with an advanced stylus.

And I'd prefer not supportting Microsoft or Google of course. And budget strictly under $200 l.

Thanks!

Minisforum v3. Should be able to get it at a decent price by now.

Edit: of this is going to be an all day type of thing, you may just want to stick with a lower power android tablet though, not that I'm thinking about it. The v3 is a great form factor, and works perfectly with a stylus, but it packs a big CPU, and both the Gnome and KDE full tablet exper5leaves something to be desired. You'll definitely need to charge if using for a full day of classes.

There are no minisforum v3 on ebay kleinanzeigen in Germany. That's sad :(
