This was bought to replace an old Lenovo tablet which was essentially too sluggish to cope with modern websites. kzbin.infoUgkxz4qYZoyAOb_hq_UbaKI6AsZX0FnoFm-U This tablet is fast, has a very clear display with built in optional eye comfort shield, great sound with Dolby Atmos, split screen option and numerous tweaks that I've not yet explored. I've plugged a wireless receiver into the i/o socket to connect a mouse if I need it and a bluetooth keyboard works fine - unlike the Lenevo which somehow would often garble the input. Battery life seems good. In short I'm very pleased with it

[@libraryllady]

I bought this tablet partially due to your comprehensive review. I've had it a month now and I love it and I've watched your review again to refresh on some of the features. I'd forgotten about the different keyboards. I'll be using those more now. Thanks again! You did a great job.

Just bought this tablet last week after selling my iPad3 for $400. LOVE IT! Even though I have invested a lot in the Apple/iTunes ecosystem over the years, I Can't deal with Apple's minimal changes and tight control of what the user can change, iPad Air bores me, more of the same. This tablet has the best screen I have ever seen! Even beatscretina display.

Seriously speaking, look at the entire internet, nobody not even Samsung has done such a comprehensive review like you have done.

Fantastic job of sharing the new Galaxy Note. I just bought the Note 10.1 2014, and it's the first tablet I've owned. Since I'm not the most technical person on the planet, I truly appreciated your detailed explanations of the device. It helped me tremendously. Thank You.

[@gidztar]

I really enjoyed this review. I am getting my one delivered tomorrow. I actually watched your video 3 times in the last 2 months as I debated with myself on what tablet to get. Some people complain that the video is too long but I like the detail you put in. In order to cater for those who like shorter, general videos, you could post two versions - one being the full version (like this) and one which is edited down to like 10-15 mins instead. Just an idea I had.

[@sonicflood1015]

Sony is the only one I know of, with a 10+ inch screen, that is water resistant Agbo. You can take the Sony Xperia Z2 10.1 inch in the shower with you, as long as you have the access ports closed properly. I don't recall the depth it is warranted for, but I'm sure you can find that out if water resistance is a deal maker/breaker. I will stick with Samsung for the Note stylus and software for it, but the Sony is the closest to Samsung in most aspects. I'd say it's worth checking out.

[@AnishaLal777]

[@toaosv]

The rotation lag in my opinion is not due to lack of CPU power or a giant screen resolution. That is an Android thing we all live with. I wished Google could just leave behind this Android to really jump to a new Android 5.0 ecosystem where apps runs directly within the Android Platform more integrated. ART seems promising. See? The less virtualized the smoother it will run! Looking forward to the Note 3!

[@tjr1071]

[@askaverage]

Man, I just kinda Mike, you're one of the first reviewer that I've seen who's gone over almost if not all the details required for a proper review! You're awesome! Quick question cause I'm stupid :P. . . ah, which is better, Note 3 or this (10.1)? Ah, I'm the kind of user that likes to play games obviously but I want to have the option to work on some graphic designs that are kinda heavy, maybe 30mb++ edits, yeah those. So which would you suggest? PS: for those who are interested in sending prayers, blessings, etc for the Philippines who is, who are currently experiencing the world's (current)strongest super-typhoon Yolanda. 240mph, I think, is the speed of the typhoon. I made some graphics here : sourcesforinspiration.blogspot.com/2013/11/graphics-for-philippines-send-your-love.html#links Please, just pick what you want. Post it on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Flickr, E-mail, wherever and add your own special message it. Thank you. I did this, as a way, of sending my own kind of prayer for the Philippines. ^_^

If Samsung makes such great devices, why do people still buy Apple's? In my case it was ignorance and the iPad Air was my first tablet at all. But why do people who have knowledge of this subject buy Apple? Is there a twist to Samsung's devices?

[@Ariranhaa]

Some people like iOS apps, some others like Apple design, and some others just think it's cool to show everybody else the eaten apple logo (go figure...)

[@gamusino007]

i wan to buy this tablet but there are two reasons for considering other brands including apple 1: bloatware: touch wiz is by far not perfect or efficient and by far not the most aesthetically pleasing. it makes the samsung lag. a friend of mine installed stock android into his samsung g note 3 (i think it was) obviously all google services werent available but daaaaaaaaammmmm the phone was like lightniing.!!!! 2: apple is very basic and easy and even if this is very inconvenient sometimes, its what makes it so fast with such shity specifications. if both devices runned with ios samsung would f***k iphone or ipad buuuut they are not. in my case the reason i want to buy a tablet is to draw and do some scetchbook and design stuff. not too hardcore just general drawing (im an artist) so the ipad would be ok for me. i have twooooo maaasive drawbacks when i think of buying an ipad or any apple devices. 1: over-f***ing-priced for the specifications. allthough it makes sense because the cost of production are so high ( samsung display, intel processor and built quality + components that are bought from foreign companies and not produced) 2: there is no stylus or spen, which is my biggest plus side for samsung because at least in my mothers note 4 it does wonders, it sooo precise and usefull. hope this answers your question even if its from my point of view

[@brunoditora8861]

Best reviewer ever, keep It up man, you re a beacon....

[@henning0700]

Great review! I'm a Note 2 user and love all the software features of the Galaxy Note series. The Note 3 and Note 10.1 2014 introduced some seriously great enhancements. The stylus is addictive and once you're used to it you don't want a smartphone or tablet without it. This (imho) is the best tablet out there and I'll be picking on up myself. ;)

Hmmm... Have to disagree. I'm absolutly an Apple-FANboy. Always have the newest iPhone and iPad. For the fun of it 4 weeks ago I got the Galaxy Note 3 with Galaxy Gear. Haven't touched the iPhone since. The same thing with this new version of Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition. My iPad is now a dust collector. So yes it happend. iPhone and iPad seems so outdated compared to these fine Samsung products. And I say that as a owner of all of them and with my heart belonging to Apple. Like that logo :-) But Samsungs new product are KICKASS - Gadgetgasm :-) Samsungs product's have SO many nice features I've been missing out on. Especially now with iOS 7. It lags and looks like a joke. I'm almost religious about my iPhone and iPad. But they lost me there. Computers are still mac's though, cos Windows sucks ass.... :-)

[@alternet8]

iPad Air is fast, galaxy is fast-er

[@SpinkeDK]

alternet8 Just wrote my love for the Note. But Galaxy is not faster in many cases. It doesnt handle the high screen resolution as well as the iPad. Else is the Note best.
