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?

    The Microsoft Surface Duo 2 is the only one I know that does that. Yes Microsoft makes Android devices.

    Alternatively, two tablets and a little bit of duct-tape would also achieve a similar result.

      I thought about going down the two tablets route, but having to deal with two parallel OS instances would get very confusing.

          For file management, especially if you plan on interacting with a file on both screens at any point, that would get very cumbersome very quickly.

            Cloud? If you automatically have everything cloud hosted it could work okay.

        I can’t comment about your ability of course, but it seems to me more like you’re limiting yourself with this mindset. I’m not really sure how it is confusing to handle two devices, because one device is already so incredibly easy. Changing one incredibly easy one to two seems to still be incredibly easy.

      Well, not anymore, they discontinued the Duo line.
