It is blazing fast and buttery smooth (even with Samsung's Touch Wiz UI).

You will not be producing large scale on art on this small tablet screen, but for the doodler/artist it's good enough.

Blow up the screen to a 13" + size, and, then the difference would be clear.

It's not a. "bad" display by far, but the Retina Display is simply crisp and beautiful to look at.

Galaxy Note 10.1 by Pen-Fanatic--Penz

If you're debating between this and an iPad, I think this is a clear winner unless you have a specific need for the iPad's breathtaking Retina display.

The front camera won't wow you with its quality, but at 1.9 megapixels, it won't distract you either as long as you're not planning to do more than some videoconferencing on it.

The speed for 1.4 Quad Core is more than impressive for now days, I'm glad that I bought it.

Galaxy Note 10.1 by DSh (Sep, 2012)

But if you hate lag, you'll love a quad core because there's just about always enough processor for whatever the device is doing.

Same price, $499, faster processor, expandable memory, S-pen, multiscreen capabilities, 2 gigs ram, I even prefer the screen layout (wider than ipad) for watching movies and videos.

Galaxy Note 10.1 by Harriet (Sep, 2012)

Almost a year ago I bought the Lenovo Thinkpad tablet and while the hardware was very good quality, the software was the let down, also the tegra 2 cpu just couldnt handle the HD mkv movies.

Sunspider benchmark of infinity was decently fast so browser should be fast, which again it was when working.

It has a true filing system, is fast, has true multi-tasking, great screen, great battery life, great software and a solid build.

Galaxy Note 10.1 by C.-Jones (Aug, 2012)

With the default settings-50% auto brightness, GPS and Wifi on, bluetooth off, and power savings mode off, I achieved an amazing 13:56 (hrs:mins) of battery life over three sessions before the Note powered itself off.

Reviews Word on the street

	Rated 80% Read the review (Aug, 2012) As expected from PLS, viewing angles are great if not flawless, with just a hint of contrast shift but only at extreme angles.

	Rated 54% Read the review (Aug, 2012) It has solid viewing angles and brighter colors than the Nexus 7 display, but at 1280 x 800, it’s nowhere close to matching the resolution or clarity of the new iPad’s Retina Display or even other similarly-priced Android tablets, which are starting to feature 1080p displays.

	Rated 72% Read the review (Mar, 2013) Wi-Fi support, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS are included as well as gyroscope, accelerometer, and a digital compass.

	Rated 89% by 485 users at amazon.com If you're looking for a high performance Android tablet, I'd definitely recommend taking a good look at the Note 10.1! Rated 100% by by Dave-Kline (Sep, 2012) I don't know if this device brings a good standard for the current tablets and note-taking software technology so far but I don't think that the software for note-taking and especially for text conversion in this device will satisfy a common group of users who have expectations other than simple entertainment and very simplistic note-taking tasks. Rated 60% by by haneke (Aug, 2012) When I first set out to play games on this machine, I was disappointed in the decline in quality over iPad games- there are tablet optimized apps out there that are every bit as beautiful ans excellent as iPad games, just no easy way to find them (there are even lemons in the 'tablet' section of the google play store).

Type

The vector based drawing and minimalistic Android-centric interface is excellent.

Having stable Android system is just an amazing.

Screen

This product would have received 5 stars from me if the resolution was up to the Nexus and iPad retina standards.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 3G 64 GB | Rated 80% by by Brian_ChargersFan (Jan, 2013)

Here and now though, it’s a tough choice, made no easier by the fact that the new iPad with its gorgeous Retina Display also costs around the same.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 3G 64 GB | Rated 80% by by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)

The screen’s 16:10 aspect ratio also makes it better suited to watching movies and reading comics than the iPad’s squarer display, though the 1,920 x 1,200 Transformer Infinity is by far the better option.

Operating system

If the actual software is working perfectly, do we really need/care newer OS?

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 3G 64 GB | Rated 100% by by HoushaSen

In addition, Nexus 7 is made by ASUS and has very similar specification to transformer prime, so future proof in terms of software update on infinity is the best on the market.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 3G 64 GB | Rated 100% by by HoushaSen

The multitasking features are excellent when I want to watch a movie and draw or write something; I can float the movie player in the corner.

Apps

The S-pen used in combination with sketching apps or the preinstalled S-pen apps is fantastic.

< 5 games total I think > but she still enjoys the 5 games that are on it.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 3G 64 GB | Rated 100% by by Joseph-Learn (Dec, 2012)

It also supports Nook and Kindle (and I'm sure others) so you can shop at other app stores too for your games, music, movies, books, etc, you are not tied just to Google.
