Honestly, for coding, an Android tablet isn’t really a practical choice. Even with RDP tools like RustDesk or Parsec, the experience is limited — keyboard shortcuts, IDEs, and terminal usage just don’t translate well to touch-based devices. Latency and lack of full desktop control can get frustrating real quick, especially for serious CSE tasks.
That said, for note-taking, a higher-end tablet like an iPad (9th/10th gen) or a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 /S7 FE/S9 FE can be amazing. Just make sure it supports:
- Proper palm rejection
- An active stylus (Apple Pencil or S Pen)
- Good display and battery life for long lectures
So if the main goal is to reduce the daily load and have a digital notebook, a solid tablet is worth it — just don’t expect it to replace the coding setup completely.
