Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 review: Second time lucky

17 August 2012
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is a tablet like no other but instead of making a big splash it's busy making up for lost time. With its launch pushed back shortly after the unveiling, Samsung's top-of-the-line tablet returns to a market that isn’t...

      Samsung seems to not realize that their Note 10.1 would be a prime device that all academic (and other) lecturers would want to use (in place of lugging around their heavy laptops) to present their ppt lectures, making use of the pen function to highlite, annotate and draw while presenting, i.e. like using an expensive and heavy tablet laptop computer. I naively bought the device, expecting to be able to easily connect (as the sales personnel agreed) the Note 10.1 to an LCD projector or the like...but not so. No store seems to have any cable other than the charging cable, and cable sellers have cables to connect from just about anything to everything - except nothing for this damn multifunction port of my Tablet. (As well, why is there no output to HDMI on na TV screen or another computer??). Any one has a solution or idea about this and whether, in fact, there is a source of the necessary cables)?? Thanks!

But a 10 inch tabletit's a complete reader

The 2 G... moreDude that's a review from Android Authority, and trust me the guy how made didn't try it for 2 hours!...I got a Note 10.1 and it really helps in productivity, probably this reviewer it's just a gamer who wants high resolutions displays. But Im just looking for the logical order. If you buy a device it must help you to do your life easier, not for expend time, that's why technology was made for The facts are:
                -The 1280 x 800 display it' because Wacom Technology don't admit higher resolution than this, because the tablet will get laggy
                -The Exynos 4412 proccesor it's over Tefra 3 proccesor by saving battery
                -The plastic used im the tablet allows too get better wifi and gps signal, don't forget the issue with the gps signal on Asus Tf700

                            I have this device for 2 weeks now and I also have Galaxy Note-2(Both have 2Gb ram) but the performance of Note-2 is faster in all ways. It is disappointing that the software is not optimize to use the full capacity of the hardware for the Note 10.1. Everything is lagging especially the web browsing. Hope Samsung can fix all the android issue coz the hardware is excellent but performs poorly in all task considering this is design for multitasking

                                    I wish if GSMArena Team puts Battery test in each review. because my i am sure it is the only reason for me buying the RAZR MAXX.
