The Nexus 10's display is every bit the Retina's equal, the build quality is excellent, and it even has a half-decent set of speakers.

If the quality of the display isn't a big factor for you...go for the Galaxy Note 10.1, you'll be happier.

It's really amazing how they can pack so many pixels into such a small screen.

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 Well--the-weather-outside-it-weather (Feb, 2013)
Other features include a 5-megapixel camera, an impressive 2GB of RAM and decent video codec support.

processor

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

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 CConn (Feb, 2013)
amazing tablet with cool design, verry fast processor and you can find all the application you need.

Using Chrome Beta has been a God send and it's obvious that they are working on the performance issues.

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.

The keyboard has been changed too, with Swype-style gesture input - quicker than the tap-tap standard method.

The Nexus 10's screen is absolutely phenomenal — its ridiculous 2560 x 1600 resolution (that's 300ppi, if you're counting) makes text look insanely sharp, its colors are really accurate, and its viewing angles are so good that I can actually lay the tablet down on my chest while I lie in bed and still comfortably watch a movie.

It also supports 802.11 b/g/n (2.4GHz and 5GHz) and MIMO Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, and NFC (near-field communication).

I love mobile devices, and have plenty of experience with Android, iOS, Windows RT, and webOS devices.

Zero lag, zero stutter, fast and snappy graphics playback, and fluid gameplay (but take this last with caution: while every review I've seen has praised its gaming ability, I myself play relatively simple games like Steambirds or Anomaly: HD).

Google has made the right calls in term of aesthetics and industrial design, while Samsung was able to bring the best hardware to the game.

Type

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.

I wanted to love this tablet so badly as I tend to love everything android.

I have heard claims that Android is not good for Productivity but, it isn't accurate.
Google Nexus 10 32 GB | Rated 100% by by P.-Perry (Dec, 2012)

Screen

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 32 GB | Rated 100% by by Xandanga (Jan, 2013)
The Nexus 10 has them bookending the screen and it delivers sharp, crisp, full sound where others fall flat.
Google Nexus 10 32 GB | Rated 100% by by P.-Perry (Dec, 2012)
Yes, the Nexus 10 wins on price — $399 for this incredible display is a nice deal.
Google Nexus 10 32 GB | Rated 83% by by The Verge (Nov, 2012)

Operating system

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 32 GB | Rated 60% by by TimmySlimmy (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 32 GB | Rated 40% by by CConn (Feb, 2013)
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.
Google Nexus 10 32 GB | Rated 80% by by c|net (Nov, 2012)

Apps

Gmail has a great new scaling feature that lets you see the whole email at once and then pan and zoom around it, but there's so much real estate on a tablet that email width was never really an issue.
Google Nexus 10 32 GB | Rated 83% by by The Verge (Nov, 2012)
If you want a tablet for basic things like email, web, gaming and apps, this is the best option for now.
Google Nexus 10 32 GB | Rated 100% by by xplics
We use iTunes to manage our music and for the Nexus 10 I use the "Play Music" app and uploaded our entire iTunes library to the cloud.

Battery

It is phenomenally responsive and manages to eek out great battery life.

Time to fully charge the battery is about 6 hours, but I usually charge my tablet at night.

No crashes for 4 days, 5 hours and 59 minutes, now I've had two in less than 24 hours.
