Rated 100% by by regularJason (Jan, 2013)Display: The Nexus 10 packs an awesome display (in fact so far as PPI Resolution is concerned, it's the best on the market *mind the date).

Nexus 10 by ss--ss (Jan, 2013)If the quality of the display isn't a big factor for you...go for the Galaxy Note 10.1, you'll be happier.
Nexus 10 by TimmySlimmy (Feb, 2013)It's really amazing how they can pack so many pixels into such a small screen.
screen resolution
Nexus 10 by Well--the-weather-outside-it-weather (Feb, 2013)Especially apps like Google Earth, it looked fantastic so large and the detail is astonishing.

Nexus 10 by Well--the-weather-outside-it-weather (Feb, 2013)If I had to beat it up on any aspect, sure it would be nice to have a higher megapixel camera (although I would still prefer other methods of photography over holding a tablet, so it doesn't really matter to me and it's so easy to transfer high quality photos to the tablet).
Nexus 10 by TrustedReviews (Nov, 2012)Other features include a 5-megapixel camera, an impressive 2GB of RAM and decent video codec support.
processor
Nexus 10 by TrustedReviews (Nov, 2012)The Exynos 5250 is faster than any other dual-core tablet chip we've seen, and isn't too far off quad-core chips like Tegra 3.
Nexus 10 by TrustedReviews (Nov, 2012)And if you put a single core of the Exynos against a core of the Tegra 3 chip, there'd be no contest - the Exynos would win hands down.
Performance Real world tests of Google Nexus 10
cpu speed
Nexus 10 by CConn (Feb, 2013)I also found that this issue of over-taxing the processor extends beyond the crashing issue as the overall smoothness and speed of my tablet rapidly deteriorated after the first few weeks of you.
Nexus 10 by dan-kyenge (Apr, 2013)amazing tablet with cool design, verry fast processor and you can find all the application you need.
sunspider 0.9.1 benchmark
Nexus 10 by Alex-M (Feb, 2013)Using Chrome Beta has been a God send and it's obvious that they are working on the performance issues.
Nexus 10 by Dan-Learned (Mar, 2013)Starts up really fast, web pages load as fast as my PC and I haven't seen any issues at all with chrome, the default browser.
battery life
9 hour
10.25 hour
8 hour
Nexus 10 by S.-Bates (Apr, 2013)battery life is good but it takes 12 hours to get 6-7 hours of battery life into it.
Nexus 10 by john-kelly (Apr, 2013)I use the Nexus about 20 hours per week and many aspects functions of the product are fantastic.

Screen
Google Nexus 10 16 GB | Rated 100% by by Xandanga (Jan, 2013)Viewing angles are wide, text is crisp as can be and the contrast is stellar (from a tablet perspective, some phones are better).
Google Nexus 10 16 GB | Rated 100% by by P.-Perry (Dec, 2012)The Nexus 10 has them bookending the screen and it delivers sharp, crisp, full sound where others fall flat.
Google Nexus 10 16 GB | Rated 83% by by The Verge (Nov, 2012)Yes, the Nexus 10 wins on price — $399 for this incredible display is a nice deal.
Type
Google Nexus 10 16 GB | Rated 100% by by fadder8 (Feb, 2013)it feels very robust, its not trying to be an iPad, and that has done wonders for it, the camera is brilliant, the interface is the best ive seen on an android tablet, no clutter, no bloatware, its just bear and ready for action.
Google Nexus 10 16 GB | Rated 40% by by persistentlobster (Mar, 2013)I wanted to love this tablet so badly as I tend to love everything android.
Google Nexus 10 16 GB | Rated 100% by by P.-Perry (Dec, 2012)I have heard claims that Android is not good for Productivity but, it isn't accurate.
Operating system
Google Nexus 10 16 GB | Rated 60% by by TimmySlimmy (Feb, 2013)I've owned both Android and Apple tablets and both are quite enjoyable, but I have to say that Apple iOS is definitely the more stable operating system.
Google Nexus 10 16 GB | Rated 40% by by CConn (Feb, 2013)Overall, despite the lacking nature of its OS, I would say the Nexus is a pretty solid tablet, with an incredible display, a wonderfully designed casing, and great processing power.
Google Nexus 10 16 GB | Rated 80% by by c|net (Nov, 2012)For most, the iPad is still the tablet of choice, but for those looking for an alternative to Apple's much more constrained OS, Google provides what's arguably the best one yet.
Cpu
Google Nexus 10 16 GB | by TrustedReviews (Nov, 2012)The processor is also noteworthy.
Google Nexus 10 16 GB | Rated 80% by by Alex-M (Feb, 2013)I can, literally, play two games at once and have Google currents going with no problems.-The processor screams and things are very fast now (lag has been readily reduced for me with the new update).
Google Nexus 10 16 GB | Rated 40% by by CConn (Feb, 2013)Personally, I'd say it appears to be that the unit's processor or video card over taxes itself and ends up crashing the Tablet.
Cores
Google Nexus 10 16 GB | Rated 100% by by fadder8 (Feb, 2013)Though i would like to point out that there is a very small lag sometimes, i guess thisis due to the 1.7 Ghz being dual core instead of quad, but it is the fastest android tablet out there, and i bought it over an ipad because i think its better.
