My gf is an artist and she is interested in buying an Android tablet (10") with a stylus. Do you guys have any suggestions on what kind she should get?
I was looking at the Lenovo ones but I don't know if they are any good.
I'm not sure but I thought Samsung was working on a 10in Note which would have a stylus. As far as accuracy with the pen I'm unsure.

I haven't actually found this question anywhere, when you guys bought your tablets, did it come with the S pen or was it "sold separately?"
Came with the tab at purchase.

Inserts in lower right corner so you won't loose it... You get everything you need, be a bit stupid of Samsung to promote the S-pen then make you purchase it separately for a specific tablet...
In every review ever done about this tablet, they say that the s pen comes with the tablet. I assume from your question that you have not read any reviews about it?

People complaining about missing s-pen get confused with the Tab 10.1 because they look alike and doesn't come with an s-pen.

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 comes in two versions... the first version is the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and this has no S pen... the second version is the Galaxy Note 10.1 which basically has S pen with it - for obvious reason... not to mention, that the 2nd version has better specs and usability...

I have the Note 1 smartphone and love it. I also like me iPad, but am thinking I might like the galaxy note 10.1 better. Am thinking of putting my iPad on eBay and buying this tablet. Any words of advice?

The ipad 2 is old news.. its time for an upgrade. treat yourself to the note 10.1 ... if u like your note than u gonna love the 10.1,,
Here are a few reasons why..
-true multitasking,
-bigger screen,
-more power,
-more ram,
-bigger battery
-the best android tablet on the market right now
the Note 10.1 has many other feature too but u will have to get it to found out..
depends what you want to do
disclaimer: my house has the ipad 2, 3 and 4 plus two SGS Note 10.1s. 3 of the 4 adults in the house are apple fanboys and the other is android (me). The older kids (11 and 9) just asked for the notes for christmas and now prefer them over the ipad whereas the younger kids (6 and 4) have only used the ipads. The things the older kids like about the Note is drawing, the multiple windows and so many more free apps. :end of disclaimer
IMO- they are all great devices depending on what you want to accomplish. For me, the Notes are much more productive and versital like a laptop (allowing you to have multiple windows open at the same time, Polaris office, etc.). I hate how itunes controls a lot for apple but I haven't used it for 4 or 5 years and it was a lot more buggy back then on my windows laptop (prob better on a mac). Recently I have used the ipad on trips and sometimes at home. Other than not being able to view flash, the ipads worked great. If you are into drawing/graphics and writing by hand then the Notes blows the ipad out of the water. If you are only going to watch movies then the display on the recent Ipads is better (although I like the speakers on the Note better and the lower resolution doesn't bother me that much). The ipads are a hair smoother and maybe more consistent but I never noticed it that much. Anyway, you need to decide what you want to do with it and the answer should be clear.
It's great to have an iPad and a Note 10.1
I use both as they both have useful feature that the other doesn't. I do muchly prefer the Note but the iPad is useful for a select few things the Note can't do.

I would hold on to the Ipad 2 if you can afford note 10.1 buy one from best buy. In the 29th day from purchase date decide if you want to keep the note 10.1 or return it because BB has a 30 days return (no restocking fee) "here in Los Angeles".
My experience with the Note 10.1 is really great. I use it mainly to play games and snapshots/jot down notes on the image/use it for shopping. Also I haven't used my Moto Atrix 2 other than to make a phone call, mainly because the tablet is more convenient to use rather than my android phone. I'm actually thinking of downgrading phone or getting those good camera phone like nokia 808 to replace my atrix 2 and remove my data plan.
Hope you make a good decision ^_^v

run IOS :victory:
And people think this a plus? Being able to run a locked down system that has no real originality or ability to customise to how I want or need?
Note wins hands down....

Uhhm the one thing I know of is run "Speak for Yourself".
As for the original poster.
When Steve Jobs said "Who wants a stylus?", I said: "ME".
I wouldn't think of using a tablet until the Note came out, ( well OK the Thinkpad Tablet, but that was a bust )
because 80% of what I want to do on a tablet require a good pen.
I would say that if there are a lot of things you want to do that require a pen, think about getting the Note.
It is after all the premier feature and if you don't need it then even switching from Apple to Android you could find a better tablet.
Then I would consider the applications you use on the IPad, are there good enough equivalents If not can you live without them. If you can then seriously think about getting a note.
I made the switch and found the note to be much better for reading PDFs, drawing notes, etc. However, the ipad is far far better for Web surfing, since it seems to render Web pages better and faster.

Multi Window feature is awesome. JB has also made using my Note more enjoyable as well.
I officially sold the iPad and am now very happy with the Note. I will say that web browsing is smoother on the iPad, but overall experience is better on the Note. This thing really is cool, especially after flashing a stock based custom rom.

Soon i am planning to change tablet at the moment i hsve ipad 3 and the thing that i miss most is notes spen...
My question is is there some other tablets that have the same or better horsepower than note 10.1 and mandatory is to have precise stylus something at least comparable to spen.
Or is best choice for that still note 10.1.
Tablet screen shoud be in 10" range not interesred i 8"

Note 10.1 still the only real contender...
I would give the series 7 Slate PC a real good look, it's a windows tablet and it costs a bit more but on the other hand you can run full MS office on it and that's a really good thing! The Microsoft Surface Pro have also a digitizer, then there's some Lenovo as well. No other with android as far as I know though.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
For surface pro i read about digitizer that it is not same quality as s pen.
I will use it for taking notes while studying. So i need precision with lots of formulas and graphs...

ASUS announcement coming?

I don't know how soon you're looking to purchase, but this ASUS announcement looks interesting to me.
If it's an Android Transformer with both a digitizer pen and a keyboard dock, I'm definitely down.

I've read that as well, the battery life is not at all what it is on the note either. The slate however is a Samsung product and as far as I can tell it has the same technology as the note. I use my note for the same purpose as you will by the way, and even though LectureNotes is awesome I think MS OneNote is quite good as well. The main advantage with the Slate is that it is both a tablet and a laptop one can use for Matlab (I know there's a mobile version for android but it's more for show really) and other PC applications. It's larger size is a disadvantage when it comes to using it as a tablet though.

Also one of the things that pulls me toward note 10.1 is multiview. Lets say put pdf book on left side of the screen and notes app on the right and it is very convenient to work. Plus what i have seen on note that palm rejection option. Atm i have note 2 also (as visible from my signature) and it is awesome. But note 2 has just too small screen for the that task. It is ok for scribbling something fast but more extensive notes need larger screen. Note 8 still it is larger but personally i think that 10.1 is best size for that.

I use that feature alot as well, especially when doing math and other tasks where you want to have a PDF with the exercise up when writing. For other tasks the 10.1" is a bit to small for me at least. But I mean come on, you use the notes multitasking capabilites as an argument for it towards a windows based tablet? And since the series 7 has the same pen technology as the note it has the same palm rejection capabilites.
But it sounds like you've already made up your mind and If so, good for you! I love my Note, I would really have checked the series 7 out before buying one today but maybe that's just me.

Since you get a laptop and a tablet in one I maybe would have gone for the slate, but that's because I could use an upgrade on my laptop and my back would appreciate not having to drag the two devices around in school. On the other hand one of the best thing with the note is that it's so easy to carry around and hold in the hands while reading..
Anyway, congratulations on your choice

The one and only computing limitation at the moment for me is the lack of inking in the Android version of OneNote, hence I've been on the lookout for a Windows tablet with Wacom digitizer. Well, that is after all a rather expensive solution to a limited problem. Microsoft's OneNote app on Android is stunted by not supporting inking, so the question is, does there exist an Android alternative to OneNote. Preferably something that will take OneNote notebooks and let you handle them the same way on a Note.

I am not sue, but perhaps Evernote will do this?
I use OneNote on my laptop a lot, but never on my tablet, mainly due to lack of inking compatibility.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD app
That it's the thing, I want inking to work in my existing OneNote notebooks. About 10.000 pages of them.
