Hey everyone, I am currently in the market for a tablet. My requirements are that it has pen support(either proprietary or usi I don't care), an unlockable bootloader, and a fairly powerful snapdragon processor (preferably 8 gen 3 or 8 elite or something). I would like it to be around 10 inches closer to 9 would be better. I don't know if that's possible though. If anyone has any ideas then that would be extremely helpful.

Edit: I forgot to say what I would use it for lol. I would mainly be using it for note taking since I'm in college but I might also do some switch or PC emulation on it as well.

The device seems okay, but I wanted to hear if other people here have feedback

Xiaomi 15T review | The new Xiaomi 15T is a premium mid-range phone with Leica cameras and a fast OLED panel. With high-quality features, strong performance and a now significantly lower price, the Android smartphone is an attractive choice for those looking to save money. Read the Notebookcheck test report to find out whether it is worth buying the Xiaomi phone in 2025 at the current price of 400 euros.
