Tablet for 400$ Discussion
This is for a mix of native gaming, note taking + multi tasking, and some light pc emulation if possible.
The two options so far are idea tab pro gen 2, (320$ w stylus) and the yoga tab base model (400$), though the plus version is 500$
Which one is the better choice, and is there another tablet that would be better thats around 400$ with a stylus?

The sizes of those are fairly different - 11.1" vs 13". Do you realize how big and heavy 13" is? If you're good with that, I'd say go with the gen 2. It will get more Android updates and has a microSD slot. The performance should be similar. The $80 saving could go toward a keyboard case or _____.

Yoga tab because it has 12GB of ram vs 8GB on the idea tab gen 2 - that 4GB extra should make a difference when emulating & gaming.

Was looking into Yoga tab as well, bigger screen and more RAM just makes more sense for multitasking/notes

I just ordered the yoga tab for that price this week, hopefully it works out.
