I'm thinking of getting a tablet for math research. In my dream world, I'd like to manage and read PDFs, do hand-written annotation of PDFs or write notes side-by-side (marking up a paper I'm reading), and also write and manage hand-written notes and diagrams in general.

Syncing/searching/tagging would be excellent as well, so I'm looking for a mix of stylus support and app support for those use cases. Price isn't much of an issue.

It seems like for stylus work the Galaxy Note is the only game in town, and it's also uniformly trashed in this thread. Is there a good alternative?

Get an iPad + a third party stylus. Problem solved.

Styluses suck on capacitive screens with no pen digitizer

PDFPen supports bluetooth styluses for fake pressure sensitivity and owns at marking up and editing PDFs.

You really want a laptop.

Too bad 500 dollar laptops are also universally poo poo.

Not great. Amazon is pretty developer unfriendly and have to verify every app and update that gets included, so it's a fraction of the Play store and everything is an older version. The big things are all there, but the Nexus 7 is still probably the better choice.

Oh no what will I do without the 99% of garbage that exists in the ios and play stores.

No theres no acceptable tablet purchases outside of the Nexus/iPad. I'm sorry.

Sounds like an iPad would suit your needs best with its revolutionary new HealthKit app and ecosystem.
