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.

If the Samsung Galaxy tab line isn't out of your price range that's what I'd go for. They're the gold standard as far as android tablets go. I had a good run with my tab s6 (2019 to this year) and I'm pretty happy with the refurb tab s9 I bought to replace it.

Snapdragon 8 gen 2 (tab s9) will absolutely crush any emulation or android gaming workload you throw at it.

I think a refurb or lightly used s9 with the s pen is around $350ish on fleaBay these days. I bought mine for $400 last year but didn't switch over to it until recently.
