Hey everyone! I'm heading to college this fall and trying to decide between an iPad (iOS) and a Samsung Galaxy Tab (Android). Both have great specs, but I'm wondering which ecosystem is better for note‑taking, multitasking, and budget. Any thoughts?
iOS vs Android for College
I use an iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil for all my classes. The split‑view and Sidecar with my MacBook make multitasking seamless. The drawback is the higher price, but the ecosystem integration is worth it.
Android tablets, especially the Samsung Tab S8+, have great AMOLED displays and are more affordable. DeX mode offers a desktop‑like experience. However, some apps aren’t as polished as their iOS counterparts.
