Except more clunky than Kobo Elipsa (Linux and not particularly locked down) or Boyue or Onyx (Android). I don't exactly know about the Android 10.3", but the Boyue Likebook Mars 7.8" is a nicer Android GUI than regular Android, lets you turn off the Google Framework (almost spyware), works with BT headset or BT keyboard (not tried both). I've not done actual handwriting much in 20 years. I use Jota for notes on Mars which has the same number of pixels as the 10.3" screen and was about €250 including VAT. The screen cost puts up the price of the 10.3" models and a shame none are 300 dpi.

Also I'd use my phone to record & play audio even if I was using a 10.3" eink for notes as the UI performance for audio play/record is garbage on eInk and easier to do notes with the phone recording. Though if I was really expecting to record audio I'd use my Zoom H4N as it has decent stereo mics and massive record time on 2 x AA cells and does uncompressed wav or MP3. It, or current replacement, is the best audio narration recording solution using external microphones and Kobo Libra in a stand as the page turn button is a must for gapless reading.
