Looking for a tablet that can be use as my pc replacement during traveling (not gonna buy a laptop). Mostly for works related with excel/words and ppt. Media/social media and browsing.

Budget: RM2000(and below)
prefer come with a keyboard and stylus (either one also can)
large batteries
good SOC for multitasking(not for gaming)
extra point if storage is expandable
can wifi only (not necessarily hv LTE)
Android.

I have no suggestions on models besides maybe looking at Samsung Tab FE series, but 2k budget is kinda eh

But I will give some recommendations on software
SoftMaker Office TextMaker, PlanMaker, Presentations is far better than the official Microsoft Office suite and it's what I use mostly

And for social media, using the desktop version in a browser may be a better experience than the app, especially for Instagram and Twitter

I am also looking for similar tablet spec with that kind of budget and i prefer 8 to 10 inch tablet due to portability and easier to carry everywhere.

My curent pick is Samsung tab S9 FE but i am still searching for any other better model before i decide to buy it during the sale.

Why not top up a bit and try to get something better? I personally dont feel Exynos 1380 is powerful enough.

Try to get a used Tab S9 or maybe Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro. These are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and would definitely last for quite some time.

what do you think about Huawei Matepad 11.5 papermatte edition? it does come with a stylus and keyboard if I'm not mistaken..

Snapdragon 7 gen 1 is a disaster... besides you okay with no Play Store?

Just a little update... today passed by a Mi shop and have a chance to test the 6S Pro.

Im pleasantly surprised that Xiaomi has finally made a decent tablet. Screen size is iPad like which is big and I think it is much heavier than my current Tab S6. Screen is LCD but it is really bright though. Maybe sacrifice a bit of contrast. The free keyboard is really nice and snap on. I think the screen ratio helps Xiaomi to create a better size keyboard than what I get with the Tab S6. The speakers are also nice but slightly lacking in bass. Although its no SPen, but I feel like the handwriting recognition is slightly better than Samsung default keyboard.

Yeah, i did try the 6S Pro, tempted to get it...

i havent tested it yet but i think the 6S pro version is just way too overbudget for just a tablet. Might as well buy a laptop with that much of money.

What crappy laptop you want to buy for RM2799? RTX 2050? Even Lazada now has reduced vouchers for laptop. Bought an Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 with RTX4050 for RM3285. A tablet will be more for convenient, longer up time. Xiaomi pricing is still acceptable compared to Galaxy Tab.

s8fe or s9 should be okay

Or get the pad 6, real good n worth it

xiaomi pad6 worth every penny, using one.. it has all the accesories that you required at additional cost.
