I have been using STabs for a couple of years. Time management, calendar, emails and entertainment. The usual. Now I am retiring and want to get more out of it. Your video has opened up so many possibilities as I start my Pre-Han Dynasty Chinese philosophy course. One Note is my structured database for notes and Samsung Notes my 'post it notes' or quick scribbles. I so wish I had one of these forty years ago. I'm looking forward to watching more of your superb videos. This one has helped me make my Tab work better for me. Thank you so very much.

@Kevin U.K. As a fellow older person (59 this birthday!!) who loves to study I felt I had to contact you. Have you bought the S6 Lite - if so, how are you getting on with it? I am about to embark upon a part time PhD in English lit. and need something to save me from mountains of notes (honestly I think they are multiplying when I sleep) accumulated during my MA. I want something to write on whilst sitting comfortably in my reclining chair as I have a chronic pain condition, and convert to Word documents so I can edit etc. at the desk top PC. Tried voice to text but it exhausted me and annoyed me. Let me know how you get on: have you considered a Chrome OS tablet like the Lenovo Duet?

[@malayalamentertainmentcomp8580]

@@honeychurchgipsy6 I use tab s6 lite and it's good, considering there are only limited species in the market with pen support. Sometimes it can lag because it's a 2019 processor, or maybe you can go with S7/s7+ ; they are flagships and the best Android tabs in the market.

[@honeychurchgipsy6]

@@malayalamentertainmentcomp8580 - thanks - I bought the S6 lite and love it - I find it super fast - no lag at all - but then I might not use it for the same things as you do (no gaming?) I do however find it heavy and dislike the long, narrow shape. I've bought a Boox Nova 3 e reader too which I love - the screen is only 7.8 inches but because of the shape it's big enough - I can take notes, draw and read on it - now thinking of a bigger 10 inch version - lol!!

I've had my S7+ for a year and it feels new (I spend 15 hrs/week using it). kzbin.infoUgkxLNmVocUk8tnSkwWIlYSNFzWRIaFTBuzS I use it for reading, viewing social media, email, and playing an occasional game. Some 'computers' feel slow and antiquated after a month of use. With the S7+, speed feels as fast as it did when I bought it. Because I don't use apps that are heavy on graphics, I get a respectable 7 hours of battery life before I recharge (I juice back up when I get to 20%). While the S7+ is 3 year old technology, I see no reason to upgrade to a S9+. S7+ is a good value for 99% of what you would use a tablet for.

Got s6 lite. And have to admit it's amazing. The Spen works smoothly and Squid takes care of my note taking. Have to admit, I feel it's better than ipad 7gen. Yea, its certainly dependent on the use case. But for me, who uses it for note takin, media consumption, s6 lite is more than useful and really smooth.

Bhai I am also in mood to buy it ... What should I do ?

[@aravindajaykumar7884]

@@k.2515 I use it for Netflix, reading, and note taking primarily. For Note taking, Squid and One Note is really good. Plus there are other good apps as well like Bamboo paper. Even Social media browsing is good. Display wise, we really can't find difference between Amoled and S6 lite screen. The viewing experience is really nice. I don't use Procreate, so can't comment on it. But if your use is for designing, go for Ipad Mini and above variants. But for my uses which includes the above, S6 lite does really well. Plus the added advantage of storage and type C portability. It can handle much of my tasks seamlessly and the inclusion of Spen was a gamechanger in my decision making.

Excellent advice Ollie regarding how to study at medical school. I hope you're able to make an in depth video to advise medical students about what helpful tips you found to study effectively as it's certainly a different beast. In my experience, traditional note taking especially for high volume stuff like Medicine is for the most part inefficient. This can cause poor students a lot of academic headaches and feelings of helplessness. The correct habits such as question banks and pictures will serve you well beyond graduation! Good luck on the final stretch and I can see you adapting pretty well to initial working life. All the best.

[@OllieBurtonMed]

@@aslan4767 I agree with you but unfortunately that is how medical school exams work in the UK - the written exams all test very much superificial knowledge and obscure sets of facts that you simply have to remember without much clinical context.

I wish they would update the handwriting to text feature to be so that instead of having to write in a separate text field in the keyboard when you tap the icon it highlights the main text field in the note you are writing on and you continue to write there. Also i wish the text fields could recognize you using the spen the way scribble does with the apple pencil. The extra text field for the input just feels like one more step that can be removed before you input your handwriting
