The tablets I've selected below are specifically for doing two things, note-taking and drawing, which means they have a different set of criteria to just either or for example read my guide to the best drawing tablets aimed at creating art and the best e-ink tablets designed for writing. This is essential to understand how these tablets can differ in size but also latency, resolution and feel – leading manufacturers aim to emulate the sense of using paper and canvas.
The tablets in my list have been tested the Creativebloq team, and we use many of them regularly. I personally use an iPad Pro daily for sketching in Procreate, while I have also used the budget-friendly HP Chromebook X2 for streaming and digital art. In this guide I've listed the best tablets for drawing with a pen as well as those that are good for taking notes. When it comes to choosing from the best tablets with a stylus pen there are a lot of brands and models to pick from it's best to focus on what you need it for, be it digital art, graphic design or digital crafting.
