I currently use a normal tablet for watching lectures + taking notes in splitscreen mode, but I’ve been thinking that this would be the ideal device for my workflow. Essentially a hinged, dual-pane tablet with stylus support – prefarably with Android. Does anyone know if something like this exists, or if there are any tablets that I can buy a second hinged screen for?
You could use a Samsung Tablet with Dex that supports the Samsung pen, and connect a portable monitor to it. There are decent portable monitors under $100, certainly enough for watching lectures. The two displays wouldn’t be connected by a hinge but by a usb C cable. In return the display sizes and orientations wouldn’t have to be the same. If the portable monitor doesn’t support touch, I recommend throwing a bluetooth mouse into the mix to make navigation easier.
Edit: I could also confirm it working with an iPad (Air, M1) and said portable display. But iOS forces you to connect a bluetooth mouse and keyboard to be able to extend the display instead of mirroring it.
Now there’s an idea! This sounds like the most affordable option, seeing as I’d be happy to keep my current tablet (which is a samsung) for the note taking.
