iPad Pro, Surface 4, Galaxy S note: Annotating PDFs?

As a professor, I receive more and more assignments from my students digitally. That is okay with me. Yet, I find loading PDFs and annotating them using the keyboard of my MacBook Pro very tedious and time consuming. I need a device that helps me write my comments on their assignments directly with a stylus, save my comments, and let me share my comments with the students.

Do you guys have any idea which of the machines mentioned in the title works best in this regard?

Thanks a lot!

Well, most of the posters here are going to say iPad Pro since this is a Apple forum. To me it isn't which machine it is which software will do what you need to do the best. I personally like PDF Expert 5 by Readdle. Click on the link and go to the site and see if this app will do what you need it to do. Also there are other PDF apps on in the App Store. PDFPen is another application. I'm not very aware of what is available on the windows side. Beyond Adobe Acrobat Pro. I would recommend looking for the software first and then finding the platform that runs that software.

I hope this helps.

Your welcome. I've used the PDFpen product on my mac and like it a lot. I have the readdle app I mentioned above on my ipad air 2 but I haven't had much of a use for it like you are suggesting. I mostly just view PDF documents. So I can't tell you how well it would do for what you need it to do.
