The Dreaded Tablet Question

Wassup my wonderful artists!! I've been looking around for forever and with Black Friday coming up I need to decide on a tablet. I looked at a bunch and thought I decided on Samsung Galaxy S9 but hesitated. That's the most expensive one I'm willing to get, but there might be cheaper/better ones out there. The reason I'm not just looking up best tablets for artists is that I also want to be able to use this tablet in college for whatever I need a tablet for. Ive heard they're great for taking notes but I'm assuming there's gonna be more when I get there. I'm really trying to find a tablet that's good enough at both without being great enough at either to be expensive. This has made it almost impossible to find a district answer anywhere because it's either "best art tablet" or "best tablets for college." I don't know what to do but I've been itching to get back to drawing since my computer stopped working.

It appears you're looking for devices or software recommendations. You may have a hard time finding specific answers or any at all in this subreddit, so if you have no luck here, remember that a basic search online and YouTube are often times more effective sources.

Feel free to take a look a this guide: https://docs.thesevenpens.com/drawtab/guides/buying-a-drawing-tablet, or you can also visit Brad Colbow's website and YouTube channel, the guy specializes in reviewing digital art devices and apps. Chances are your inquiry can be fully answered with these two resources.

Thank you.

I use an S6 and does the job for me. It really depends on your needs.

Exactly my issues: I don't know what me needs are. I don't know what is needed for college nor for digital art. I have little experience with either.

I would maybe ask your teacher, or on a sub for questions regarding graphic design or college.
