For many students, having an iPad would be an ideal studying tool. Compared to a computer, the iPad and Apple Pencil combination is much more preferred by the current generation as they can write and draw the way they are used to - with a pencil - directly on of their notes. However, the prices for those two gadgets are quite high entry barriers. Fret not, we've recently found something else that could effectively replace the iPad + Apple Pencil combo, all you need is a computer to use it. The best part? It costs less than RM100!
Digital tablets have historically been used by and made for people that need to draw, such as designers and architects, but it has since increased its functions and naturally increased its target audience. During these trying times where many students are forced to study online, a digital tablet is perfect for letting them handwrite their notes.
Not only that, positive reviews from teachers also show that it is an effective tool to mark papers, leave quick comments on students' work, or present more effectively during Zoom classes.
Setting up is pretty easy too. Just connect the tablet through your computer's USB port, open up a file on a supported software such as Microsoft OneNote and you'll see your writing magically appear on your screen!
There are many digital tablet brands in the market and you should buy one that fits your budget and usage.

For those with a higher budget and more demand for a well-known brand, you can consider Wacom's CTL-472 Tablet. It is highly recommended by many, whether you're planning to write or draw. It is currently being sold at RM198.
So, if you're studying or working at home but prefer to be more hands-on with your scribbling and doodling, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a digital tablet for you and your family!
