what do you think of this tablet to take notes at the university, read and edit pdf? There is also an "apple pen" for this huawei?I think that the screen is too small and maybe a 10'' would be better

No. Overall this is one of the best tablets right now. I've been using it for 2 months now and I would buy it again instantly. But DO NOT buy it if you want to take notes. 10" tablets offer more space, especially if you also want to view and edit pdf files which don't scale easily. Most pdfs are hard to read on a <10" tablet. And one of the only weaknesses of the tablet is the accuracy and speed of the touchscreen. I've got a generic stylus for touch display that works mediocre on very good screens and definitely doesn't work good on the MediaPad.

Right now, if you want to take notes on a (pure) tablet, iPad Pro 9.7" in combination with the Apple Pen is the best solution. You can also get good accessories like keyboard covers that are not available in that quality for the MediaPad.

If you prefer Android or Windows, have a look at the Yoga Book. Good in certain areas, but it would be too special for me. I would prefer a real tablet and a real notebook instead of a combination of both. If you have the money, the only device that REALLY fulfils both needs is a Microsoft Surface Pro 4. Perhaps you can get a good price with a student discount.

(If you want an Android Tablet, you can also wait ~2 weeks, Samsung will announce the Tab S3 with native pen support.)

A 10" inch tablet would be more amenable for note taking.

This tablet could work but it would be cramped. Reading would be fine.

so which android tablet do you suggest to take notes which costs 300 euros more or less?

unfortunately I need a tablet now and I cannot wait anymore...
I'm searching for a good android tablet(not a 2 in 1 device) because iPad Pro and surface are too expensive for me... 300 euros more or less is a good price, so what do you suggest as a 9,7'' or 10'' android tablet?
I've also seen Asus zenpad 3s 10 but I don't like it so much the zen UI and I've seen that the gflops of its GPU is only 40 more or less while the One of the mediapad is 122 more or less, so I think that the Asus is not so powerful

I would say it would be fine for pen notes if it's in landscape mode, and portrait mode would work too depending on your handwriting.
