Angle view of Google Nexus 10
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.

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 ss--ss (Jan, 2013)
The spectacular 9.7 inch Retina Display in Apple's full-size iPad is now matched with a custom System-on-Chip (SoC) that has the graphic muscle to take full advantage of its capabilities.

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).

Now just few days ago I`ve bought iPad 4 (the maximum configuration), it is much faster, good screen resolution, my first impression is very good!

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)
The integrated camera has excellent resolution, as does the video.

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)
The faster processor is fantastic and the graphics are beautiful.

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)
At its launch event, Apple SVP Phil Schiller said the A6X offers double the CPU and graphics performance of the A5X, which powers the third-gen iPad.

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.
Nexus 10 by Dan-Learned (Mar, 2013)
Apple has touted improved Wi-Fi performance on the new iPad, which could also be contributing — either way, the browser performance is better than ever, though it's not an earth-shattering improvement.

battery life is good but it takes 12 hours to get 6-7 hours of battery life into it.

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.

And so too do our test results: I got almost exactly nine hours of continuous Wi-Fi browsing on the Verge Battery Test, which cycles through popular websites and high-res images with the brightness set to 65 percent.

It makes other 9"+ (ipad) tablets feel like a big clunky weight.

Skype looks better on here than my laptop, not to mention its nice to use the back camera for a video tour, concert, etc..

The other features are great, but what good are they if the storage is so limited and the tablet is so under-powered?
