Guys now is my time! i have to buy my first tablet ever! i have saved money and i cant upgrade sooner cause i am a student so pls help me sincerely...
i have about $650 (US dollars). i want the best tablet.
i love the flash in android devices for internet, but for the resolution i had in my mind to buy the new ipad but then Jelly bean came and it also does not have flash so i changed the idea of getting the new ipad. because both ios and android now dont have flash, i love android. but i thought to just check ipad cause i have never bought and apple product cause i simple hate apple.
my uses r:
1- using internet. i use a lot of internet on my mobile so i need tablet now.
2- watching movies and videos
3- using camera on mobile but a decent tablet camera would be nice
4-listening music
5- transferring big files
well here are my choices. guys dont be one sided for ur note cause no device is perfect! just give me the idea of which to choose between these depending on ur experiences cause many of u guys here would have definitely used more than one tablet.
1- Samsung galaxy note 10.1
2- ipad 3
3- asus transformer pad infinity tf-700
4- asus transformer pad tf-300
5- acer iconia tab A700
guys i expect a good answer from u guys.
thanks
I have an ipad 3 and it's really nice, but if I had to buy a tablet today I'd go with the Nexus tab. And you can force a install of flash on it anyway. It's more portable and after the ios6 the ipad 3 got kindda choppy. I wouldn't get the note 10.1 over the ipad, but definitely the Nexus..

THANKS dude
My first recommendation would be to look at the 10 other threads already discussing this in exhaustive detail.
That being said, If you need high quality pen input, speed and split screen true multitasking get then Note. If your #1 priority is eye candy get a true HD screen. If you can wait, hold off until the w8 tabs come out to see If they are any good and meet your needs. They will cost more but offer Windows if that is important to you.

Since you are a student I'd say you can't really go wrong with the note 10.1.
It can perform the functions of the other tablets but has an additional advantage in the s- pen.
I am not a student but a professional, and in the ten days I've had it I've been using it to replace a pen & paper for taking notes.

I go to school for internet security and let me tell you taking notes and making bad ass power points is why i love this and being that we have to work in teams i made sure i had my sg3 users on my team so that way we can show eachother what it is on our phone and tablets so in my honest opinion get the note at the end of day you will have fun with it

thank u dude... i really love samsung products u cant imagine how much i love samsung. i have samsung SSD, samsung blu ray, samsung monitor, samsung tv, samsung every thing but after my Galaxy s3 had the hardware issues and NOte 10.1 not having HD screen i am a bit inclined to looking at other devices.

1- using internet. i use a lot of internet on my mobile so i need tablet now. The Note has the fastest browser of any Android tablet and delivers a near desk top experience.
2- watching movies and videos The detail on a tablet with a FHD display will obviously be better. Are the videos you plan to watch encoded as 1080P? If not, or if you're streaming, you'd be hard pressed to notice a difference in image quality. Also, reviewers have pointed out that the colors on the Note's display are the most accurate they've seen on an Android device. Especially flesh tones.
3- using camera on mobile but a decent tablet camera would be nice The Note's camera is at best average.
4-listening music The Note supports BT 4.0 and aptX so using a BT headset can provide lossless audio playback. The Note has the same Wolfson DAC as the SGS3 which delivers, without question, the most accurate and lifelike audio playback. If you used highly compressed audio files it probably won't matter as much.
5- transferring big files I know you posted this in the TF700 forum also. All Asus tablets are a train wreck when it comes to file IO because of the cheap controller/NAND solution they use. This need alone should steer you far away from any Asus tablet. You've been warned.
whatever you do, DONT buy the transformers. a quick glance into those forums will show you that those tablets have defects in almost every thing. i myself returned the tf700 (after 2 replacements) and took the note instead. besides, i think that dev interest in the transformer line is low because of quality issues.
I keep seeing complaints about the GNote 10.1 not having a true HD screen and it drives me nuts. The screen on the GNote 10.1 is great. The difference in the GNote 10.1 and say the Apple retina screen is something that is not really that noticible unless you have them side by side. The HD screen is just for bragging rights. You spend an hour using either screen and you wont notice the difference mostly because the 10" screen realestate is just not big enough to make the difference that noticeable.
Even if you are not going to use the pen feature of the Note 10.1, this tablet still takes the win in my opinion. Ipad's are toys and I just sold my Asus Infinity because it had problems.
So far the Note 10.1 is just great. Super fast, stable and isnt locked down like the Ipads are.
With Asus out the way, meaning I agree with others on this forum that Asus has serious quality issues, have a look at the following video comparing the new iPad with the note. The review is unbiased and should help you decide based on your most important needs:

N8000 is 3g version.
N8010 is wifi version.
If u have other device to do tethering anytime u need, u may choose the wifi version.
Otherwise, 3g version will be better.
And the 3g version can also make a phone call, sms and mms. Just like a normal phone.

Is it only me that has a hard time with post that are titled with no information in the title?
I have a Galaxy S2 phone and had the Nexus 7 tablet, but had to return it because of the screen lifting problem.
I don't see any other 7-inch tablets with 3G and MicroSD expansion on the horizon, so I want to ask you who have bought the P6800 - would it still be worth it to buy it now?
Thanks!

Both of these are supposed to get official OTA Jelly Bean updates soon, they both have 3G and MicroSD.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S 7 (P3100)
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (P6200)
I currently own the 7.7 running CM10 and like it alot, the biggest factor was the extra 0.7" of screen and the 1.4GHz processor.
Also if you want to get a wifi only version of a tablet, as long as it has USB Host support and viable version of Android you can use a 3G dongle with a SIM card...
Nexus 7 vs P6800? They're both fantastic devices but the P6800 is better. Unbelievable screen, twice the battery life, larger viewing area, thinner and lighter, has MicroSD and 3G.
The only downsides to the GT-P6800 are price, the 30-pin proprietary Samsung connector cable, and no smart-cover option. In retrospect I wish I'd bought a Verizon i815 (Certified Pre-Owned is $280 directly from Verizon) instead of the N7.
it is a great little device... i like it so much that i will never get rid of it... the processor maybe getting a little old but it still can handle any game without a hickup... no jellybean update is a kind of a worry though...

Get the p6800 you will love it. I had the nexus 7, I just couldn't look that ugly screen. I installed Paranoid on my p6800 and I don't see any difference in performance between the N7 and the 7.7 , you are going to love every part of the 7.7. Its the best High Quality tablet right now. I can't use any other screen besides super amoled. All the other screens look like poop, even the super IPS. That's my opinion. Once you get used to the blacks of super amoled that's it you are always going to find the other screens crap

I own the nexus 7 and GT 7.7. The screen on the nexus 7 is not as good as the GT but the N7's performance is much better. The micro sd card is nice but once you give the cloud a chance you wont go back to transfering files onto micro sd cards. I like both tablets but I use the GTab more only because of the convenience. I pulled the simcard out of my thunderbolt and placed it in the GTab so ive been using this as my mobile phone with unlimited data and as a result its always on me. I havnt tried cm10 on tab 7.7 and. I wont unless they get data working. I know touchwiz slows things down but enough to boost this device to nexus 7 speed idk. Someone would need to post a vid on youtube for me to believe. If I were to post one with my GTab running stock ICS vs the Nexus 7 with customs and kernals from the best devolpers on xda you would understand why its really no contest.
Do yourself A favor and buy the nexus 7. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 has more potential but thats all it will have. The nexus 7 has so much support you will never wait or wish for anything. It will get everything first and that includes updates direct from google, app support from developers, tegra exclusives, and support from xda members porting there rom/kernal/mods and to be honest there building on the nexus and then there porting these builds to other devices just check out the forums. Over there and you will see the open/closed betas. The nexus 7 will have it all

Galaxy 7.7 rules in screen and that's where it ends. It is a gadget of past with dual core processor. It one thing to love your GT7.7 but to say that dual core processor is better than quad is biased and naive.

I own a Galaxy note since 2011. It's a dual core and does everything i want.
Samsung released it's quad core successor, but I don't see any reason to
upgrade... I own a GT 7.7 since 1 month. It does everything I want, and
it does it without any lag or problem...
And I don't feel like living in the past.
But at least Samsung amongst others doesn't spend millions on marketing
for nothing. On you it works, making you think that you need 16 cores and 20 gig of ram
I am not biased at all. I just bought a Galaxy 7.7 32gb version (from Australia) paying over $550. My reason was the SuperAmoled screen and insane battery life. But I also own a Nexus 7. So being an owner of both, I can tell you that performance-wise Nexus 7 (with quad core) punches GT 7.7.
It really boils down to what you are seeking.
hey guys.
my wife and I are big Samsung Fans. we've got Samsung Smart LED 3D TV, Samsung Blu-ray player, Samsung sound bar, both of us have Galaxy S3s.
We had the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 but opted for selling it a while back. Now my wife has hinted at wanting a tablet again, and I want the latest and greatest, and this time a 10.1 since our phones are 4.8" and it doesn't make sense to get a tablet with only a couple inches more.
is this the latest iteration of the Note tablets? I thought it would be based on the Note 2?
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab/GT-N8013ZWYXAR
looking at this, it's got a lower resolution than my phone, very outdated software (i've been on 4.1.1 for almost 2 months!) and hardly seems to have the upgrade in technology I was expecting.
or am I looking at the wrong thing?
if you can steer me in the right direction, that would be great. we want the latest and newest Samsung tablet...this seems to be it, but it also seems to be a little disappointing in the specs.
thanks!
Well,the display does have a lower resolution,but for me it is fine and acceptable.
For the firmware:
Mine was sold with JB 4.1.1
from my GT-N8000 using XDA Premium HD app
is this the latest iteration of the Note tablets? I thought it would be based on the Note 2?
Latest, yes, all current samsung high end devices use an almost identical chipset, sgs2, sgs3, note, note2, note 10.1 etc.
looking at this, it's got a lower resolution than my phone, very outdated software (i've been on 4.1.1 for almost 2 months!) and hardly seems to have the upgrade in technology I was expecting.
Screen is fine mate, perfectly good for a screen of this this size, more than good i think, anything else is just a waste of pixels and cpu processing imho
if you can steer me in the right direction, that would be great. we want the latest and newest Samsung tablet...this seems to be it, but it also seems to be a little disappointing in the specs.
This is the latest and best you'll get from samsung, there may be more to come in the not too distant future but this is arguable the best on the market right not due to the added Spen.
I would like to know why my note 2 and note 10.1 dont have same spen features? Why does the 10.1 not have the hover preview and some other things the note 2 has? I just bought my 10.1 and am a little confused. But over all i think tablet is awesome i would recommend it. Thanks

If you don't care about the spen (Which is fantastic, if you ask me..), you might want to look at the Nexus 10.

In 4.1.1 there's a setting called "Airview" which does exactly what you're describing.
All those features are part of JB, I bet you still are ICS and hence you do not have these features as an when you get the JB upgrade you will get all those feature.
These more of OS dependent features I guess and hence you do not have it in ICS.
Note is one the best tablets around the screen resolutions looks bad on paper but it is one of the best displays around OLED are good but they have their own draw backs like the tint they give you even the Nexus 10 display is not the best.
I would suggest considering the options you have Note is one of the best, I have not used a nexus 10 so I cannot comment on it

Thanks for the responses. I will look at the Nexus 10, though we are partial to Samsung for its ease of integration into everything else we have.
In response to the comments about the resolution of the screen, I want better. I don't think it makes sense to have a lower resolution on a 10.1" device than what I have on my 4.8" phone. The new iPad has much higher resolution And I would have expected better from Samsung.

And you actually got more from Samsung - it has an inbuilt Wacom digitiser that can accurately sens where the s-pen is. Accurately enough that you can write on it, and it will read (and convert) your writing to text.
The screen res is fine, I generally find that the limiting ability is my eyes not the screen
It is due to the wacom digitizer that the screen res is lower... Wacom don't do Hi-res screens.... However, I watch movies on this, browse the web and do work on it. Screen is fine.
I think the "bigger is better" attitude came about with Apple not being able to compete with most things so brought out their retina screen.... The human eye can't detect this many pixels so it's useless to have a 10 inch screen with off the chart resolution....
If you want an all around tablet that does everything and doesn't disappoint then go with the Note 10.1... Otherwise you are looking at other tablets that aren't Samsung... They may have awesome screen resolution but it takes more than 1 thing to make a brilliant tablet....
Trust me, I have had the Nexus 7, the Nexus 10, the Kindle Fire, and now the note 10.1 and the note is by far the best tablet I have owned. The screen should be 1 of the least important factors when choosing a tablet in my opinion, especially when they are all hi def to begin with. If you want a tablet that is best all around, especially for product tivity and getting things done, the note is so far above the competition it's not even funny. I have installed jelly bean on my note and it vastly improved the existing capabilities of the note. It should be out for the US devices within the next month or so. It is well worth the wait, it is the best update I have ever received on an Android device before.
Regarding the Nexus 10, you will be impressed by it screen for the first week or so, then you will realize that it can't do anything your phone can't do, and you will not use it as much. The note is amazing because it can do so many more things than any phone or tablet on the market. You really have to own it to understand how great it is.

bought her the white 16GB Wi-Fi model (GT-N8013?).
now to find out how to root and update it to JB. it came with ICS 4.0.4 and software update shows no updates available.
with time I can figure it out (have rooted and modded every device we've had, including our current SGS3s) but if you can give me a link to the best rooting method (the sticky seems outdated?) and the latest/most stable JB-based rom that would be greatly appreciated.
I had my doubts about getting the note 10.1 because of all the reasons stated in the first post of this thread. I am a note 2 owner so i wasnt keen on getting a tablet with lower specs than my phone but as far as android tablets go at the moment this is top of the range. Its due a jellybean update very soon and is quick on ics anyway.
Multiview is awesome
The Spen is handy and very fun with photoshop touch
Front facing stereo speakers are nice
The battery life is good
Expandable sd card slot is a bonus (and not standard on all tablets)
I do notice the screen pixels on the note 10.1 slightly compared to my note 2 but its still a clear crisp HD display. (And the higher res the screen the more of a drain it can be on resourses).
There is also a 3g note 10.1 which u can actually make calls and text with.
2GB of ram.
Get the note 10.1 in the same colour as your s3 the phone and tablet look great as a set
Overall the note 10.1 is one of if not the highest spec android tablet on the market right now and for me it also offers a few things other tablets cant.
My honest dislikes are the damn 30pin connector and no micro usb. Yes i have an otg adapter but i find the 30 pin connector to have no benefits over the micro usb and just a pain. Personal niggle.
Also its a very slippery device thats a terrible fingerprint magnet but i wouldnt swap it for any other tablet on the market and i spent weeks watching youtube reviews on them all before i bought the note 10.1.
I used to own an ipad 3 i prefer my note 10.1 but im an android fan
So yeah id recomend it

dont get hung up on the screen resolution mate, they all use similar DPI's, where there is a qualitative difference the extra features in the note set it far ahead of the pack for me.

Hi Max-Pain,
JB 4.1.2 is coming along officially, www.sammobile.com has just leaked some semi-official versions (Asia and Europe) already bug-free and very smooth.
Don't forget the S-Pen feature can make you "drop" your inkpen once and for all........ love it! It may take a long while that MS tablet can boast such a feature - WP8 can't hold a candle to Android for the time being........ if I could take a strong side, I'd say Android is the best ever for touchscreen, forget Apple and MS........ somebody could pick on me for this, who cares........ Enjoy
thanks for the continued feedback guys...but I think you missed my post above where I said I already bought it.
and i'm already rooted and on jelly bean
I am in the market for a tablet. I have had plenty of Android phones so I'm very familiar. I have no desire to get an iPad(let's get that out of the way up front) but I've been debating an Android tablet or a Windows 8 tablet. I'm currently contemplating a Note 10.1 but am a little nervous about it's age. We all now that a device that's a almost a year old (gulp) is almost ancient (I'm not knocking it because I'm still considering buying it). So...my question is this:
Given the current options, would you buy a Note 10.1 again? If not, what would you buy instead? Thanks everyone!

Its a great tablet and givin it's age it's still the best one available that runs on android, that's my opinion. I haven't used a windows tablet so I can't say anything about them
sent from my jelly bean infused note 10.1
I would say the Note 10.1 is still the best out there, besides which the S Pen really sets it apart from the competition.
As for Windows 8 tablet vs Android tablet you just have to look at the relative sales for each format to see Android is way out in front and has a comprehensive eco system to match. Microsoft are very much like Apple in that they like to lock their customers in to their own proprietary eco systems, being primarily open source, you don't have to suffer this major limitation with Android.
I've had several Android tablets now and my favourite before the Note 10.1 was the original Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Note 10.1 is a great leap forward.
Still using it everyday, with browsing, drawing and even watching TV with a dvbt-receiver This thing is effectivity and entertainment in its profoundest sense...

If i were u I would narrow it down between the nexus 10 and the note 10.1
The nexus 10 has better specs abviously and it will allways has the updated software and the screen is fantastic
I own a note 10.1 so I'll tell u some features on the note 10.1 that I cant live without
1) the multi-window multitasking believe me its very handy and I use it all the time
2) s-pen I actually only use it in some Web pages as a cursor on the menus of that site
3) sd card I dont have to point the advantage here
And if ur worried about the speed of this device I find it rarely ever lagging
But if it was my choice I would pick non of that list I would wait for the next generation of note 10.1 that device will have the display of the nexus 10 and even better specs and more features
If you are doing a lot of writing S Pen is something you just need to have. If not - get Nexus 10, it's also made by Samsung so component quality should be similar.

What DVDT receiver are you using? Would be cool to get...
A simple guide to tablets today: Are you going to use the tablet for work, or studies? Then the Note 10.1 is without competition in the Android section and there won't be another similar this year since Samsung recently released their 8 inch version. Depending on what you're using it for and your budget the relatively new Samsung Series 7 Slate (or something) is worth checking out, it's a bit larger with 11.6 inch but it got a full windows which of course makes it more of a working machine for obvious reasons (MS Office, Matlab and other full version app to mention a few). It's not as handheld though, but I've not seen it irl so I'm not sure how heavy and bulky it really is and it's about twice as expensive.
If you're typing alot the Asus transformer series is of course something to consider, especially if you like building quality.
But if you just want a tablet for surf, maybe games and movies/pictures I believe the best one out there is Nexus 10.

I bought a note 10.1 today after thinking hard Nexus10 vs. I have and like a Nexus7. But I wanted larger, and felt the rear camera and sd card capability made the important decision parts for me. Costco was $479 today. Couple days ago it was $429. 《Sigh》
WIsh I could get rid of the Samsung embedded apps. That is a disadvantage, the Nexus is clean. Almost like I bought it from Verizon. Wonder how clogged up a vz note is《g》
Thought hard about ASUS transformer and the dock. But saw too much griping online. And no local knowledgeable vendor. Though I likes asus mobos and their nexus 7, I couldn't afford to buy a dud. Besides there are so many variation of the tf700 out there that it is hard to know what you are looking at.
Different direction....
I realize you guys may all laugh at my indecisiveness but this tablet was for work. I went to Best Buy to look at a Note 10.1 in person and for close to the same price I noticed I could get a pretty decent laptop. I'm probably gonna get this :
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-K55N-DS81-15-6-Inch-Laptop-Black/dp/B00B7K11MI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
It has ridiculously good specs for a cheap price which I can't argue with. I appreciate all of your help!!

Thats all good but the purpose of a tablet is the size and weight which makes it so portable. I rarely use my laptop. It pretty much just sits there collecting dust. I only use it for photoshop and a couple other programs once in a blue.

Yeah I hear you completely but the more I compared a laptop vs a tablet I realized that I'd be limited on several programs I use on a desktop. A laptop would allow me to still use music creation software, vector manipulation and a few others that I wouldn't really be able to do on a tablet without sacrificing performance. I have come to agree that the note 10.1 would currently be the best tablet choice for what I was hoping to do but a laptop is the way to go for me at this point. Thanks everybody!

I got my Note 10.1 about a month ago after struggling with Note 8.0 quality issues (more than 10 checked and all just poor). I have used a lot of tablets and while it got some time to get used to the low res screen of Note 10.1, after a while it won't bother you anymore. This tablet is really wihtout competiton if thinking of something you can really use daily for work and fun. Also the battery life is excellent. As I have said before, I have no use for a tablet without "S Pen" anymore

I've had both the 10.1 and TF700, and the TF700 is a beauty. If your into rooting and tweaking, the TF700 can be made completely smooth, lagfree, and with no problems. Out of the box, its pretty silly, with some work its the same if not for sure better in real world performance than any other tablet on Android.
The battery in the dock, full usb slot, micro sd, full sd card slot, and most of all the far superior screen is what sold me on it. It really depends on what your going to be using it for, I use it for class and the dock is invaluable as well as all of the extended memory. I also watch plenty of HD movies and they are crystal clear which is a plus. But I definitely see the appeal of the Spen, but I'd never use it.

Sometime next month you will be able to do full multitrack recording on pretty much any android device including the note 10.1, different interfaces will have diffrrent compatibility but most should work

Full circle haha
So... I bought that laptop. The DVD drive didn't line up to open or close properly. I thought maybe it was a fluke so I returned it for a replacement. The second one came and the mousepad didn't left click properly. Long story short, a returned that one for a refund... (I guess that's what happens when you try to buy a $380 laptop).
I ordered this tablet this morning and I'll just stick to my desktop for anything that requires more processing power: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10440897&PID=2923696&SID=

Got my Note 10.1 yesterday and I am very impressed! This is a phenomenal device!
I think our tablet is officially dead and this forum as well. Now that many new cheaper tablets have emerged I don't think people use this anymore. Mine was gathering dust since ages.
Do you still use your tablet and for what purposes?

my wife already adopted my tab..She's using it more than I do.
I still use it when I go out of town trips just for GPS and data connectivity.
This is my phone.. so i still use this "dead tablet"

My p6210 is in Canada. We are still on 3.2 without an official OS update.
I recently updated to 4.1.2 following one of the suggestions from this site. It is nice to have the refresh. I wish it had been sooner. I would have preferred an official update rather rely on the benovelance of strangers on the internet. I'll never buy a samsung again.
For now, this tab still does what I need it to do, so i will squeeze a bit more life out of it. Also as it gets older, i am less adverse to taking risks with it. I may experiment with these new roms. If it bricks, i will buy a Nexus 7 or an Ipad Mini. Sorry, i want timely updates and not an obsoleted device after a few months.
Still on stock waiting for update... Use it for travel, GPS, and plan on using it for accepting credit card payments.
It's still my DD tablet. With 4.1.2 (stock just rooted, if I recall) its doing everything I need. Movies on the road, books, email, web and games.
Certainly drawn to the quad-core goodness on the market, but not enough to open my wallet. I'd rather go with a Nexus, but I'll probably stay with a Samsung for the micro-sd slot. Makes be crazy that Google went the Apple route and gouges you for memory. 64gb card, for $50 = 80GB tablet.
Still a fine piece of kit. Mine is rooted and has JB 4.1.2 (UK/Ireland version) installed along with CWM Recovery. I agree that the tendency of many OEMs to not provide a microSD slot is a PITA...in fact, for me it's a show-stopper.
ye, it is [*] ;_;
only Daniel support u, god bless him :>
not surely dead i think, our tablet still stands out from other new samsung tablets such as tab 3

Too true!
I still use mine as my primary tablet. It still is better than those cheaper tablets out there (plus better than the Tab7.0 v2).

I agree when comparing to the Tab 2 7.0 and Tab 3 7.0. Having recently acquired a Tab 3 8.0, however, that device is definitely a step up - better specs, multi-window feature, etc. and very nearly the same overall footprint.

Oh yes of course, tab 3 8.0 is better, i think the tab 8.0 is the successor of 7.7. Just my opinion :victory:
Far from dead for me.
I still use it daily.
Use it for mail, calendar, tasks, timesheets, notetaking, calculator, banking, ...
Do the occasional gaming and ebook reading.
I hardly leave home without this device.
I love the 7" formfactor because it so easily stores away.
I don't think I will be trading it in any time soon. The quad core systems are mainly interesting for gaming.
The only thing that might sway me to another device is a higher resolution (interesting for some websites), but devices with better resolution are usually a lot more expensive.
Thanks to people who still believe in our tab
Some may think it is dead but I think if anybody wants this tablet not to die go hit the thanks button on this thread because as long as we have people developing we stay alive.

To me this makes me believe it still alive and well.
I have only had my tab for 14 months Still in warranty but i would like to see people who have this tab support people who are making stuff for us in there own free time (like devid801 ) and only ask for a simple thanks that uses a few seconds of our free time.
My biggest concern is shrinking inbuilt battery!
