Speed of the Note is one of the fastest tablets I have tried, including the iPad3. Once you start using the stylus and other TouchWiz features (ie. floating video, split screen, floating calculator, etc.) you'll be hooked.
Just wondering, is there a return policy if you decide not to keep the Note?

Sat nav - The Note will be better. You'll have more options for s/w and the front-facing speakers are loud and should be easy to hear. It also supports Glonass.
photo editing - Probably a tie. Depending on the detail you're editing to the Note could win based on the added value of the S-Pen.
facebook - The iPad app is proably better aesthetically but it'll work the same on both devices.
games - Depends on the games.
internet - The Note has the best browsing experience of any Andorid tablet. But I'm guessing the iPad's will still be more fluid but no more functional.
speed - It's the fastest Android tablet available. Because iOS is both so stuctured and limited it tends to be more fluid. But in terms of getting stuff done they should perform the same.
multi tasking - A huge benefit. The clipboard is also more of a scrap book. As you collect things from the web or apps and copy them they remain in the clipboard to be used later. Even after a reboot.
watching film - If you're coming from a retina display iPad you may notice some loss in definition. But the Note's display is great with very accurate color rendering. You can also watch a video in split view while you're doing something else or use Pop-up-play to watch a video while using the tablet normally. I watch a lot of video and am pleased with the display.
playing music - The Note has the same Wolfson DAC that's in the SGS3. Audio reproduction is brilliant. It also has BT 4.0 with aptX support which is a lossless playback method if your BT speakers or headphones support it.

I have an iPad 2 [i didn't see much of an upgrade to the iPad3] and the Note 10.1
I love both of them.
I find this tablet a lot more useful than the iPad.
multi-tasking i great. Not perfect.
watching movies is great [with the stereo].
music... well louder than my iPad.

I have the Note 10.1, my wife has the Ipad3. Due to her liking the Note 10.1 a lot better, we're saving to buy another Note 10.1 and we'll give the Ipad to my daughter.
Neither of us sees a noticeable difference in the screen, but some people do. Realistically, you probably won't note the difference with movies or pics. However, you may notice a difference in small fonts. If you read small fonts in normal use, you may notice a large difference. I HIGHLY recommend comparing screens for yourself. That way you'll know for sure what the resolution difference will mean to you.
For watching movies, the Note 10.1 wins hands down. Because of screen aspect ratios you have a 8.9 inch screen on the Ipad and a 10 inch screen with the Note 10.1. (Given a 16:9 movie.) Combined with the speakers--which are FAR superior on the Note--movie watching is a much better experience with the Note. Same with music, the speakers on the Note just blow the Ipad away.
There's no contest when it comes to photo touch up. The s-pen makes a night and day difference. Selecting areas of the photo with the pen is a game changer.
OK, now the downside to the Note 10.1. There was an update--which got pulled--that makes the Note a much better machine. Smoother with less bugs. With the update my Note runs great, without it I got a little annoyed. The update is in the development section here, so you can still update. However some people--a small minority I believe--have had problems with the update. For some, the pen stopped working. That's probably why Sammy pulled the update. The good news is that we can be sure that Samsung is working on the bugs the pre-update Note has, since they addressed them in the update. Jelly Bean should be along soon. So if you get the Note 10.1 and choose not to update you'll have to live with a few annoying bugs until Jelly Bean is released.

[Q] Getting a note 10.1 this week, need some guidance please...

Hi
Can I ask what apps is everyone using for drawing?, I hear layerpaint and sketchbook pro but is there any others and what is the consensus regarding drawing with them. Can I expect intuos4 type drawing with the 10.1 or should I level down my expectations?.
Another question is what resolution do these apps work on?, could I create a new document or import a 300dpi for inking and colouring?.
Is there any decent vector apps too guys?, the ipad has loads but for the love of god the only thing stopping me selling it is the music apps and games my sis plays.
Thank you

I find that for a portable electronic sketchpad the Note 10 is pretty excellent. I don't think that it stacks up fully against an intuous and a desktop running premium production software, but it isn't a toy either. The digitizer is responsive, you have adjustable pen sensitivity, some pretty decent nibs to give the pen a comfortable feel on the screen, a small selection of pens, and the software has enough power for a lot of tasks.
Sketchbook Pro was previously based on screen resolution, but they've added selectable canvas sizes now (the maximum being 2560x1600). Unfortunately that's not an amazing resolution but it's enough for things that aren't poster sized I find. Hopefully there will be larger canvas sizes in the future.
I'd personally recommend looking at an extra pen for drawing. The default pen that comes with the device isn't horrific, but it's designed around fitting in the tablet. It's nice to have it there in a pinch, but a more robust pen is nice. I've got the Samsung 8PI (s pen /w eraser), and it's pretty lovely for a $25 pen online. Wacom is coming out with a line of pens called Bamboo Feel that are Note 10 compatible and look very nice too.

S Pen vs Jot Pro

I am just curious about those who have used the Jot Pro stylus on a true HD tablet vs the S Pen on the GN 10.1. How is the responsiveness by comparison?
My guess would be that using a stylus on an HD tablet with a non Intel cpu would cause lag, but I'm just guessing. The ONLY thing I don't like about the Note 10.1 is the relatively weak resolution and I'm wondering if I could take notes just as well on a true HD Tablet with the Jot Pro?
Thanks.

This is off-topic but hopefully relevant and useful to you. I do not usually use my S-Pen on my Note II for note taking but the few times I have, I have used SketchBookMobile. It allows me to zoom in really close, zoom out, attach photographs (or change their opacity and use as the background. Very handy), use text, transform, resize and use layers. I have not found anything else that beats it.
Something else I do is to take notes with pen and paper and then photograph the result and send it to Dropbox. Always available
If you are looking to upgrade in the near future Wacom are said to be producing a tablet and pen combo for launch this year. It will probably be for professional artist and photographers and cost a small fortune but if money is no object it could be what you need.

I haven't used the jot pro on a 1080p tablet but had it for my transformer prime and it's horrible compared to the note 10.1. I think the main thing is capacitive touchscreen vs a digitizer.
It's been about 9 months but from what I can remember there was slightly more lag using the jot with the prime then using the spen on note.
No idea if an Intel chip would help.
For what it's worth I take great notes using lecture notes in landscape mode. Printed notes come out perfect just like the were handwritten.

jot pro
This is the best capacitive stylus available, but this means it only sucks a it less then the others. It's no comparison to the s pen. Im going to get a s pen full size soon .I love my wacom intros and wish the s pen was of that quality.

Thanks for the responses guys

The thing I don't like about Lecture notes is that my pen seems to lag a bit. Also miss the overall integration with the rest of the Note 10.1 ecosystem.

I thought you got rid of your note because the resolution was subpar?

I did but bought another one because I really needed the note taking ability for work. Decided the Note 8 was just going to be too small.
And yes, I'm fickle but I can afford to be

Lol was just curious. I love the note 10.1 for taking notes. The screen resolution doesn't bother me. I think Samsung could have done a lot better job of designing S-Note, as is I feel it's not as good as lecture notes. I use dropsync to keep it synced with Dropbox.
Was just curious when I saw you back over here.

Yeah I was pretty pumped for the Note 8 but then it was taking so long to release and I realized I really wanted a bigger tablet. Also my last one was gray. Always wanted white. I like it better.

Note 10.1 hand written notes? One Note?

Hello,
I currently have a Microsoft surface pro right now, and I use it mainly with one note to take hand-written notes. I was wondering how is the Note 10.1 for hand written notes? Is there a lot of input lag since its not a PC processor? Also how is the battery life.

Having used both, I prefer the Note for hand-written notes. There is no lag and there are several options to use. Unfortunately, the android version of one-note does not support hand-written notes so if you are a die-hard OneNote user, this will not for you.
As for battery power, I use my Note pretty much all day at work and at home and I typically get 1.75 days use out of it. At the end of the first day, I am typically at 69% and I usually turn it off or plug it in at 15-20% on the second day.

I had been using Onenote on a laptop and syncing via the MobileNoter app, but I no longer bother with Onenote at all now. I do any pdf annotation with Ezpdf and take notes with LectureNotes with handwriting recognition via the standard keyboard. Anynote seems like it might be decent too.

No lag with my note 10.1 model GT-N8013

Note 10.1 and Note 2 user here. Neither device suffers any lah whatsoever when it comes to pen input.

Since the tablets have about the same technical specifications but Android takes up alot less space and CPU than Windows I'm quite sure it's better. But if you'd like to try something else there's always Series 7 or whatever the Samsung 11-ish inch tablet with windows 8 is called.

[Q] s pen

Hi everyone,
i want to ask some question about s pen.
is it possible to use note 4 s pen with note pro for more sensitive,
is Advanced s pen works with note pro
finally
What can we do for more sensitive ?
thanks for your answers.

It's basically the same pen. I've used my Note 4 spen a few times while taking extended notes on my tablet, I honestly don't think their is a difference. It's the wacom hardware in the device that is responsible for most, if not all, functionality.
In summary ... yes the note 4 pen works, no its not any better

The increased sensitivity of the Note 4 lies in the number of pressure points the sensor in the screen can detect, not in the pen itself. You can use any Spen with it, but it won't increase the sensitivity.
As for increasing the sensitivity, you'll need to change the potentiometer. Follow the guide here (Ignore the offset dial): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54772260&postcount=18

All the premade spens will work work other note device, ie;I'm using my note 3 pen with my note 4and it works rather well if not exactly the same. ..it's the software that controls the pressure and poem points etc etc. ..
Hope that helps?
