Currently looking at a DIY AMD 7640U, 1x16GB RAM, 250GB storage, 1 USB-C, 2 USB-A, 1 HDMI.
My use case will mostly entail note taking in class. I’ve got a built PC at home.
But I’m not a hardware guy, would I be better served w/ different CPU or RAM set up in your opinions? I’ve mostly picked bottom tier specs but is there anything in your opinions that is worth splurging on, all things considered?

If you go to engineering school, you’ll need a computer eventually to run various software. I’m not sure about other degrees however.

A tablet doesn’t cover all use cases for college work, but I suppose with the push for cloud computer instances this could actually work.

A table is typically an ARM based platform, so using MS products like visual studio can be a challenge, but there are web versions that help.
I think video encoding isn’t too polished on tablets as it is on a Linux/Windows PC .
I don’t know all the use cases where a table doesn’t work, but they do exist.

Which ones are not arm ? I know the surface is a good example.
