I just picked the Note 8.0 up and I'm blown away. Now before everyone hops on about it being the same thing as the note and inferior to other tablets, I've tried many others. My mom has an iPad, my brother the Kobo Arc, my Dad the Nexus 7 and each have certain strengths and certain weaknesses. So far I can't pick out any weaknesses with the Note. Since I picked it up (around two weeks ago now) I've charged it once, using it almost every night and its now at 58% battery. I'm astonished. Another plus is the screen, it's absolutely crisp, 1080p with a great resolution. Android 4.2 is nice as well, being that it's smoother than many other Android tablets. It has a great feel to it as well, solid yet light, easy to hold and there are no seems on the edges (where gunk likes to build up). Then there's the S-Pen. I had played with my buddy's Note (the phone) and wasn't too pleased with it. But after playing with it on my tablet (not sure if they changed it or what) I'm quite impressed. It's light and comfortable, easy to use, pressure sensitive and quick. It's nice to write with or even draw. And the fact that Samsung didn't make it dependent on it is also nice, being that it makes certain tasks easier and easily slips away for others. All in all, it blows many other tablets out of the water and is certainly worth looking into.
