Basically title, but I don't want an iPad because of my "open source mindset" ik it sounds cringe but fr I hate Apple's philosophy and I don't want an iPhone to sync every shit. Also I'd like to have a tablet that doesn't all my data to some big corporation (like Xiaomi or Google), and I don't know where to start to find it. Do you have some tablets to suggest? Budget is around 300/400€. Thanks to everyone who will respond ✨

How about a refurbished Lenovo Yoga?

Runs Linux well, comes with a pen, you can have it folded as a tablet or with a keyboard to take notes. Battery might not last as long as an Android tablet. But is way more powerful and fits perfectly in your budget if bought second hand / refurbished.

Edit: I bought a Yoga 460 back then. Used it during lectures. But soon realized typing notes was faster than a pen. Except for calculus and linear algebra. You should learn latex or use a pen for that. Otherwise, would recommend a Linux convertible over an Android device.

I think with linux, rnote or xournal++ work well for taking notes or annotating pdf.
