Rated 100% by by HoushaSenSunspider benchmark of infinity was decently fast so browser should be fast, which again it was when working.
Rated 40% by by Philip-Arthur (Sep, 2012)The 8 megapixel rear camera is a decent performer, but don't expect photos and videos to be as crisp as ones from a DSLR or a point and shoot.

Features Key features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 compared to the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF300
“10.1
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
Rated 54% by by The Verge (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.
10.1”
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Rated 80% by by T.-J.-Power--PowerCPA (Jun, 2012)It charges fast and the battery life is more than good enough.

Galaxy Note 10.1 by john-LampeYou will not be producing large scale on art on this small tablet screen, but for the doodler/artist it's good enough.
Eee Pad Transformer TF300 by Sathish (Aug, 2012)Coming back to the Asus, What makes it a really good tablet.... It has a really good screen too, I feel it's more than enough for a display of this size.
screen resolution
Galaxy Note 10.1 by Pen-Fanatic--PenzIt's not a. "bad" display by far, but the Retina Display is simply crisp and beautiful to look at.
Eee Pad Transformer TF300 by Andrew-Vosper (Sep, 2012)It's not a super high resolution display, so the individual pixels are pretty good sized, and this was pretty noticeable.
memory

camera resolution
| 0 MP | 1.9 MP | 2 MP |
Galaxy Note 10.1 by c|net (Mar, 2013)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.
Eee Pad Transformer TF300 by Keith-D.-Sniadach (May, 2012)The front camera has less pixels and isn't as great, but is perfect for video calls and gets the job done.
processor
Galaxy Note 10.1 by Bill-Clark (Feb, 2013)Don't expect a quad core to be amazingly faster than a dual core, but it can handle concurrent tasks with aplomb.
Eee Pad Transformer TF300 by Slim (May, 2012)The specs of the machine are the best around right now, the quad core is bullet fast.

cpu speed
Galaxy Note 10.1 by DSh (Sep, 2012)The speed for 1.4 Quad Core is more than impressive for now days, I'm glad that I bought it.
Eee Pad Transformer TF300 by R.-Kurthakoti (May, 2012)The tablet has very good clarity and excellent speed thanks to the Tegra 3 processor.
sunspider 0.9.1 benchmark
Galaxy Note 10.1 by HoushaSenBut Galaxy Note 10.1's sunspider result is simply in another dimension.
Eee Pad Transformer TF300 by Zachary-Wagner (Apr, 2012)Web browsing is quite fast (I use Dolphin browser), and once I updated Adobe Flash, flash within web pages works great.
battery life
8 hour
10 hour
Galaxy Note 10.1 by C.-Jones (Aug, 2012)It has a true filing system, is fast, has true multi-tasking, great screen, great battery life, great software and a solid build.
Eee Pad Transformer TF300 by Philip-Arthur (Sep, 2012)Heavy users that game, watch videos use wfi, bluetooth, GPS and connect external devices (like hard drives) will be able to make it through the daylight hours before they need a charge if it's set to balanced power setting.
