Check out Newegg,com they are the only place I buy from. Cheap pricing, and they have great customer service.

Sounds like a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet is what you want, but it's quite a bit outside of your price range. Maybe you can find a refurbished or used one. they are supposed to be good tablets. I have been researching tablets too and that's the only one I know of that comes with a stylus specially designed for the tablet. Good luck. If you find something else, I'd be interested in knowing about it too.

The Note comes with an application called S-Note. It lets you export to either PDF or JPG format. It will let you backup to a Google Drive account. But sadly, not to a Dropbox account.

EDIT: I should say sync to a Google Drive account. You can backup to a Dropbox account with some workaround. It's just not native.

i have to be able to write handwritten notes on the touch screen with a stylus and save that in some sort of format I can use later on.


I've bought myself a Google Nexus 7 (made by Asus) two days ago. I paid €240 for it. At the moment i'm still figuring out what i can do with it. Being able to take handwritten notes sounds cool. Hadn't thought about that myself. So, thank you for the suggestion. I did some google-ing and found an app called supernote. I tried it out. This is the result: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxvHBqfWTb__ZEs2T09HY3lUWkE/edit?usp=sharing Yes, when writing with normal pen and paper my handwriting is almost unreadable too.

I've learned two things: Cotton swabs can not be used as a stylus. Typing on a keyboard is a lot faster.

I recommend buying a bluetooth keyboard (like this: http://dx.com/p/wireless-bluetooth-v3-0-80-key-keyboard-w-pu-leather-case-for-google-nexus-7-black-152644) if you need to input a lot of text and are sitting at a table.

I just bought this keyboard myself for my Nexus 7. I haven't used it for taking notes, but I will be very soon for work when I start on a new project. It's handy to hold the tablet while I watch tv shows on it too. :)

I use Evernote for taking notes, you can access the notes on any device with the Evernote App , or on your browser through their website or you can email it too.

I bought an Asus Transformer tablet. I didn't quite know what I was going to with it besides play games and surf the web... So that's pretty much all I do with it. I do love to travel so the only real reason was to make it easier for me to keep in touch with people when I'm out of the country.

Though right now I just take it to work and surf facebook. :3
