But didn't seem too sure.

I want to make clear that I expect handwriting short sentences & phrases in a pdf-article to be possible in a new device.

I did not expect pen to become a problem, because in the video below handwriting seemed fair enough to me. Until now I have not planned to do lots and lots of handwriting on blank pages, i.e. using the device as a notebook. But hey, if I can have it, I would like to as well.

App: GoodNotes
Stylus: Bamboo CS 160 [it's not even fineline, guess this can make a difference]
Device: (only) IPad Air [hope the IPad to be better in this respect]

Bamboo Fineline 2? I bought one and returned it immediately. It was actually WORSE than my old non-bluetooth stylus on my iPad Mini 2. It actually encouraged me to go buy a Windows tablet with pen support instead. Apple Pencil is even better than what's on my windows tablet. I'd try 'em out if you can.
