Lenovo Yoga Tab
Why we picked this
Premium Pick: The largest and most capable drawing-focused option here, combining a high-resolution 144Hz display, 256GB storage, long battery life, and an included Tab Pen Pro. It costs €49 above the €400 budget, but remains within the permitted premium limit; unlike the Samsung, it offers more storage and a larger, faster screen.
