Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 black friday, I have waited a month before reviewing as I wanted to have plenty of
time to wring it out. I am totally impressed with this tablet. Do not
listen to others about "build quality". So what if it has a plastic
back? It won't dent that way and it's plenty solid. I have no issues
with that and I think the build quality is extremely good. This is my
3rd Android tablet and is by far the most useful. I admit, I did mainly
get this for the S-pen and it's drawing capabilities. While that is
outstanding, this is a very solid and productive tablet for the casual
user to the business minded. All of the office type apps work
flawlessly, wifi through my network and I can print documents, full
Word, Powerpoint, Excel, etc. I use this thing all the time for my
business and I don't leave the house without it. Now onto the drawing
or S-pen portion. Once you get the hang of the program's available for
this, it's a blast to use!! I have always liked drawing and doodling
and this just works. My fav app so far is the Sketchbook PRO version.
The Photoshop app works well too but I'm really still learning how to
use that. I love the fact that I can whip this out and start taking
notes if needed for a meeting, do voice record, draw up a quick display
or graph. Fantastic. I use this a lot as well for Netflix and other
media consumption apps and that works fantastic as well. I have read a
lot about the people having issues with the screen. NO, it's not the
highest resolution out there but it does work and it's beautiful. The
reason this does not have the latest and greatest screen resolution is
due to the WACOM portion not being compatible for that high of
resolution. that's what I am told anyway. If you MUST have the best
screen, you may not want this however, I don't see how anyone can have a
problem with it. Did I mention this thing is a speed demon??? After a
month, not a stutter, shudder, or squint out of it. It takes all the
apps, movies, music, docs I can throw at it and it doesn't miss a beat.
Very impressed with that after previous Android tabs. By the way, I am
coming from a Toshiba Thrive 16GB and a Kindle Fire.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 black friday, In
summation, if you are looking for a tab that you can actually be
productive at and get office type of work done, this is it. It's great
at media consumption but any tablet can do that. This thing is actually
USEFUL!! Build quality, excellent, screen, excellent, processor,
excellent. And the speakers in FRONT??? Genious!! This is actually too
loud sometimes depending on your surroundings. WHY no one puts the
speakers on the front is beyond me. Makes total sense. Once you get
the hang of the S-pen, it's awesome and no gimmick. Very useful tool
and the S-pen feels great in the hand---with the one exception of how
you hold it. It will take random screen shots if you don't keep that
button on it from under your finger. Just get used to not putting it
under your finger and it's fine. A++ tablet and I personally think it's
the best on the market at this time. Don't hestitate if you are on the
fence, just GO GET IT!! You will be impressed. Way to go Samsung
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 black friday, There are enough reviews dealing with specs and benchmarks, I will only
offer my opinion having owned other tablets. This tablet it amazing, it
is fast and can really multitask. The Stylus is the key, it is
accurate and smooth. Writing with the stylus is like writing with a pen,
there is so much potential for software developers with this device.
The S apps are user friendly, multiscreen is a very nice feature as well
as the floating apps. I have used the photoshop app that is
preinstalled, it is similar to the photoshop for PC/MAC just not as
robust, having this top level tool on a tablet really takes it to the
next level of functionality. The line between tablet and laptop is
narrowing with the Galaxy Note. Between the unique software and powerful
processor the other players in the market are going to have to step up
their game.
I bought Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 black friday this tablet for the quad core 1.4 processor and GPU, and the
specs altogether, but it was the S Note application together with S Pen
that inclined me to the write this glowing review. Let me start by
saying I had low expectations for the S Note app. I expected a
half-assed branded app, put out to brag about as a feature. What
Samsung has delivered here is instead something that can rival LaTex in
final product: Neat, orderly notes. Never mind the smooth, accurate,
and responsive pen input, this tablet comes loaded with a pretty
accurate function input tool, a shapes tool, and a writing-to-type input
feature in it's productivity tools. Hand write and equation as the
professor spews his dirty intellectual filth on his white board, and I
jot it down, poorly, and Samsung picks up the slack by turning into a
neat formula. I hit "insert", size the object down a la MS word, and
move it with a drag gesture to place it where I wish. The take away
here is this: If you're a student, don't buy and iPad, buy one of these.
If you're a writer or an engineer or anyone who actually wants neat
documents made on the fly WITH YOUR HAND, pick one of these up. The
iPad just can't compete for productivity. And if you're on the
Microsoft side of things with your tablet preference, good news: Samsung
owns the stylus tech, the algorithms, and the app, so expect to see a
Win RT S Note released on their Win 8 surface products. That said, the
way they pull of android on this tablet, it's quite capable without x86!
I have to mention that this machine is pretty powerful.
