I really want an 8" tablet for taking notes in school. It's come down to Samsung tablets, and while I find the Galaxy Note 10 2014 not a bad size, I'd prefer an 8" tablet. But the Note 8 is a year old and there's no release date yet. The Tab S 8.4 seems perfect other than it's not meant for stylus use like the Note tabs. But does it still work ok with a stylus? Would I be able to use an app to get handwriting recognition and successfully take notes that way?
