Note 10.1 good for college student? - Galaxy Note 10.1 General

I am planning on getting a tablet for college and was hoping to see if the note was good for viewing pdfs on? I had the Asus Vivo Tab and it was just awful for pdfs so I returned it. Does pdf run smoothly on it? Also I was wondering how customizable it is? I'd like to download more apps then what is available on the microsoft market. Is it a good tablet overall?

This tablet would be perfect for a student. It gives you the ability to write using a pen, record voice notes and view pdf files easily. You are also able to modify and annotate the pdf files on your tab....

The note is by far far far the best tablet for a student

This is by far the best, most thoughtfully put out product I have ever used. As a student, I can't imagine going to school without one of these now.

Good to hear, I purchased one earlier for that purpose earlier and it's currently charging.

The tablet is very customizable, just check out the available ROMs for it.
For PDFs, you can use Adobe Reader. You can annotate and even write on them.
For taking notes I suggest using Lecture Notes.
And of course, everything looks and works great on this tablet.

Can I get adobe flash player to work on the note?

Yes. Just enable unknown sources in settings then download & install apk from the internet browser.
Also to answer your original question, this is a great tablet for students. I take it to all my lectures. I used to use a laptop, but the battery couldn't get me through one lecture. This tablet gets 10 hours of screen on time doing anything except gaming.

I wish a tablet like the note 10.1 existed back when I was in college. Well yet again, I was a broke a$s guy back then and I don't know if I could have afforded it.. But to answer the question, yep, S Note (an app that comes by default on the tablet) will be your friend. It can take notes, record your notes, take a pic and insert it on your notes, insert and solve formulas, diagrams, etc, etc, and so forth and so forth...
I have flash player installed on mines. It was still available on the Play Store when I installed it. I don't know if the Play store still allows you to install. I know for sure it's not allowing me to install it on my Note 2 phone.

I am a college student and s note is perfect and being able to add pictures/diagrams to your notes is very convenient

I'll second the recommendation of lecture notes. I could never get long well with snote for some reason. I use the tab for note taking at school and work. It is great. hopefully they come out with it's big brother in a year or so so i can upgrade.

You wouldn't believe how many times people sitting beside me have been like "whoa that's so cool, what tablet is that?"

How smooth is the note for running big pdfs? I'm talking 1000+ pages since they're textbooks.

I'm a graduate student, and I've been using it to take notes mostly. It's basically the ultimate tool for me, allowing me to read, write, and everything in between without adding to my bag's weight. I have viewed up PDFs up to about 500 pages mostly (not a lot of physics reference books go up past 500 pages as far as I can tell). My notes are finally something I can refer to, since they're not scattered in fifty billion places (I wasn't the most organized student..).
In any case, I can see that people have given you recommendations already, and I'll add my praise to LectureNotes, Edroid Reader, and Adobe Reader.
Sample notes: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x1rbyi3jrzsn4bb/Quantum Mechanics.pdf

I do all of my homework on my tablet and send it electronically to my professors. I was worried that they would not be on board, but I actually received compliments from all of them. I also take all of my notes on the tablet. Shape tools and different colors make diagramming and organizing big messy equations much easier than on paper.
CON:
On tests I feel handicapped with a pen/pencil and paper. No copy/paste my own handwriting?!?! Erasing leaves marks?!? You've gotta be kidding me.

Nice notes.
What program do you use to anmotate pdfs?
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app

I bought and used the Note for all of last semester. I haven't used it to view PDFs much but I did use it to take down notes during lectures. It's quite good for that but it is compromised because it does not feel like writing on paper. My handwriting is quite bad on it but I adjust a little bit and it gets better (still not perfect). This is compounded by the fact that Samsung quality control is kind of ****ty and my pen leaves little tails at the end of strokes so the writing looks even worse (search, someone else had this issue as well). I ordered the standalone larger pen for it from South Korea (because Samsung CAN NOT or REFUSES to get its **** together regarding accessories unlike Apple) and it does not leave tails, or they're less pronounced. Problem is, the nibs on this pen are super slippery. Anyway, like all Samsung devices everything is a compromise so don't get your hopes up too high.
At the end of the day, it's the only tablet in this category at this price range so I wouldn't have anything else for school. No more multiple notebooks, Evernote syncing, LectureNotes (great app), no more multiple colored pens. Try it out.

Coming from education technology, I have seen pluses and minuses.
You are right, being able to hold it comfortably in 1 hand is nice (it is MUCH lighter than an iPad) and I've found the voice recognition for taking voice notes very accurate. However, typing papers is not really practical, but I'm assuming you have a standard computer for that.
The biggest drawback is getting your books in a format that is compatible with the N7/Android. If you can get them (or just scan them) in simple PDF, you are golden, but many of the secure proprietary formats that publishers are using and distributing through college bookstores are not quite there yet in the ability to display them on a tablet---some are using flash, others are using different secure formats (such as CaféScribe) so they can keep the book from being copied and distributed.
The foolproof solution is to take any books you have to Kinkos and have them chop the spine and feed scan to turn them into PDFs (which you can legally do as long as you don't distribute the PDF) for a small fee, which they can do pretty quickly.
Good luck, I love the N7 for reading.
Yeah but i need t o know if i can use the N7 for some more then PDF reading xD. Because 250 € for PDF reading while i can print those PDF's for 20 €is a huge difference

I just think just the N7 for "just" reading is wasted. I would like to use it for some more things but i dont know if i can with that 7 inch Display.
I would like to use a good navigation Software and some other things.

navigation? how big is your campus? lol
i thought you're asking the use for "studying" (ps: does not spell "studiying" - i hope you're taking econ in a non-english univ), and here are my thoughts: (im an Econ student too)
- reading: it's hit and miss. depend on what you need to read (papers and other docs distributed/recommended by your prof, or generic PDF out in the internet).
- typing: sucks. i dont know about you, but i still write faster than typing. you can try installing Swype or some other app to type faster, but on a 7+ inches monitor, it's still not comfortable. 4~5" on a phone is easy to swype with your thumb. 7"? go landscape and practice.
now, aside from the above points, everything else is good with a Nexus for the following points:
1. it's cheap. $199 for a quad-core device?
2. it's small and light.
3. it has nice apps. Evernotes. Calendar. Emails. Browser. Office products. voice recorders. and they're mostly cheaper (if not free) compared to iPad apps.
4. it's a Tegra3 device with high resolution display. download some games and it's solid for in-between study or during a boring lecture.
Here's how I use my Nexus for studying: as a handy references device. it doesn't replace my notes, textbooks, and the all-important highlighter... but for a quick internet search or reference sources, it's way easier than booting my laptop... and i can schedule my exams, study period, check emails, and check classes on a screen bigger than my phone's.

Really? I can't find any information about this service on their website. So..you can give them like a 200 page book (small and large book), and they'll make a PDF of it for you? I want that so badly.
I hate typing on the N7.. I am 3x as fast on my 4 inch phone it just doesn't gel with me.
May not be your experience but no way in could note take.

Not the navigation for the campus i mean car navigation ^^. I'm using atm Navigon for navigation. My english was better but I haven't used it barely for 1 1/2 years so excuse me .
I need to thank you R3dbeaver because you showed me what you are doing with your N7. We are getting all our PDF files from our prof. so the quality of the PDF file is goood ( writen on PC and this **** ).
I am also someone how writes faster than typing. I think i will buy the N7 and use it exactly like you. A good combination of both things.
I would appreciate if you could recommend me some usefull apps
What they do is remove the spine and run it through a feed scanner, then spiral bind the book. From there they can save it in any format you desire. It's probably not something you're going to see advertised because I imagine it's not something they get asked to do a lot, but they do do it. It sounds like a lot more work than it actually is. I do this for a living for students with print disabilities, but I send students that don't qualify for the service to Kinko's if they want to do their own books.
Good luck, let me know if you have any other queations on getting it done.

What does your note do for you?

I'm sure this has been talked about elsewhere in bits and pieces, and maybe there is an appropriate thread, but I didn't see one exactly.
What do you use your note for? What does your note allow you to do that you couldn't with another tablet? Or, what works for you? Is there some sequence of apps you use in conjunction that allow you to get things done better than before?
I know that I personally just use Lecture Notes and Polaris Office almost non stop. I'm constantly taking notes, cutting from texts in polaris, pasting into LN, exporting pdf's for email, etc. I can't help but feel that there's functionality I'm overlooking, tips, or shortcuts that really take advantage of even more of the notes features.
Anyone have any thoughts they'd like to share? About anything they use the note for really, not just my particular needs.
As a side note. Samsung needs to pay Acadoid money and have S notes redesigned. S note is missing so much seemingly simple functionality that it's baffling. They had some really good ideas and then half a**ed the job. Thank god for LN's
my note has tv remote :silly:
When I want to travel light, it serves as a laptop repacement since I can handle office tasks using Polaris or Kingsoft Office. Clearly, email support is excellent. I run Klock Mobile for tracking time for billing purposes. I can use VOIP when on WIFI should my smartphone battery be low. I love reading my daily newspapers online on the Note. I also love reading e-books on it. I'm just an amateur doodler, but I enjoy drawing and painting with the s-pen. I don't watch a lot of movies or television, but it's nice to be able to watch media on the note when I've got bored kids and we're traveling. With 2GB of RAM onboard and the Exynos processor, its performance makes it a joy to use.

I only have to take my note to class.. I use it to take notes, and browse the textbook without having to lug all of that crap along. I use it for watching stuff as well, but mostly the note-taking..
(I like to sketch stuff too, but I don't have the time at the moment, but I did a couple of drawings when I first got it!)
I use it for the different job(s)/ jobsite(s) I have. I can keep notes on Sequence of Operations for each job, and keep all notebooks handy so if I'm at one site, and need information when someone calls me about another- it's all right there.
Loving it so far- just hate Android apps "stretching"
I have combined Write, Adaptive Rotation Lock and a Boxwave screen protector to make my Note 10.1 behave and feel very much like writing on a note pad.
I combine Dropbox and Kingsoft Office to keep up to date with my budget when I am not at my laptop.
My note keeps me entertained at work (which is a godsend sometimes) and also keeps my nieces/nephew entertained when they come over. They love to use the pen on drawing/colouring apps.
Note 2? Or you mean Note 10.1? Isn't there another forum for Note 2 users?
My Not I used like a mix of fun and work.... Bought him last month and I loved it... Very good speed.. Fantastic Tablet
I use mine for work and music.
Write, s note, polaris, calculator. Rocketplayer, mx player. Lots of stuff, I use it all day tethered to my GN2.

Thanks for the catch. Made the correction. I have both and sometimes get the forum I am on mixed up do to both being so much alike.
I think the ability to handle PDFs is extremely important for the Note 10.1. The SD slot and SPen mean that you can easily load up a ton of PDFs and work with them.
I only wish that Samsung would realize this and build in some kind of killer PDF app that is fast and optimized for SPen annotation.

Reading. Mainly using the Nook app and imported epubs into Aldiko. I also use flipboard and springpad a lot.
I use it for work as an IT Consultant almost everday. If it had ethernet I could replace my laptop. Of course Polaris, S-Memo and S-Calendar see heavy usage.
I also do email, facebook, browsing, etc.

[Q] Galaxy Note 2014 worth for college?

Do you think the 2014 version of this tablet will be worth it. I know there is already other topics on this but I wanted to know if the additional $250 is worth it over the previous model. All I would be using it for would be taking notes and having my PDF books on it. I would also like to be able to write/highlight on the pdf books with the pen if that is possible.
I don't own one/not gonna buy one of the Note 10.1s (I have a tablet as my signature suggests and despite the age of it and the S-Pen my current one suits me just fine)
But I've used two of the first Note 10.1s and for a pretty mediocre tablet (in terms of specs and everything) its still a pretty good device to use for school, which my friends use it for.
The 2014 model does make it easier to take notes and so on, with Action Memo and everything else in there, plus chances are the S-Pen functionality has been improved.
With writing all over pdfs, there are apps on the market, both free and paid, that work pretty well with the S-Pen. I don't know what app it is, but my friend uses one of these on his Note 10.1 (the original one), and it works pretty well. I have iAnnotate PDF on my own one. Dunno whether that functionality is built into the tablet itself- whether you can write all over pdfs by default- but there are apps to do it as well.

I have the 2012 version. I use it mainly for taking notes and a little bit of media if I'm in bed. If you're going to be reading lots and lots on it, then you might want to opt in for the newer version as the resolution is much better. The 2012 version's resolution is a little lackluster, but it is adequate for reading. I will not be upgrading, as I do not need the new features.
New not 10.1 is lighter, has better screen resolution and s pen functionality, so the answer is yes.

I used the original 10.1 for a semester at school. It got the job done for the most part, but I ran into certain compatibility issues for school work that needed flash in the browser or whatever other codings / plugins android doesn't support well.
I sold it and bought a Samsung 500T windows tablet refurbished(only $360 on amazon). While the thing can be extremely slow in certain situations, I'm much more happy with it. In my opinion, Onenote is a better program than Snote or Lecturenotes. Example: for my accounting homework online, I can print the entire webpage to onenote and write out calculations and journal entries on the side. While I could do screen clippings on the note 10.1, I don't believe there's a way to do the entire webpage without multiple clippings (which can be very time consuming in the middle of class).
In all, I prefer Onenote over anything on android and I enjoy having it synced through Dropbox so I can get my notes on my desktop instantly as well. The process of printing lecture slides from powerpoint to Onenote is much faster as well.
From experience, I would personally recommend something windows based for school.

I currently have the older 10.1 model in my possession and I'm using it for school. I love it. S-notes is wonderful and there is a youtuber named rhea white who posted a lot of videos that really sold me on on it. You can import PDF's into S note and write on them from there. A lot of my professors like to use power points so I just download them, save them as PDF's and then import then into s note.
One issue I've had with it though is when I want to see two s note files at once. Sometimes I'll have someone in another note that I want to reference really quickly without having ot export it as a PDF and open it in another app. the 2014 model is supposed to support multiple instances of the same application which is why I was stoked and preordered one. the older model can also bit a bit slow when opening a note or creating a new one which got annoying when I was trying to keep up with what the teacher was saying. these haven't been issues so serious that would make me go back to pen and paper though.
as another poster mention you might find yourself a little limited in terms of working with online solutions. for example some of my professors use webassign, and I've found that I can't work directly on the site with the tablet which is where a tablet with a full OS would probably be better. However consider those types of tablets are more expensive i'm more than happy with my 10.1 and look forward to working on teh 10.1 2014 edition.
Just a question for those of you using a Note for school and annotations, etc.
I've been out of school for about 25 years now. We didn't even use desktop computers, let alone laptops (no, I never learned to use a slide rule. We did have calculators. Slide rules were before my time), etc. I understand using a tablet for taking notes (I'm not THAT antiquated!). I know that PowerPoints and, from what I'm reading, pdf's, are used nowadays; however, I'm not accustomed to modern teaching practices.
Where are you getting the pdf's from? Do the profs email them to you? Do you scan handouts and import them? In my day I used to get a buzz because of the lithograph ink and the alcohol(!) in them. That sometimes made the boring classes bearable.
I'm just curious, that's all. I'm reading all that people are writing, and it's bugging my curiosity.

In my classes, they upload the PDFs and PowerPoint's to a centralized DB. Depending what classes you're enrolled in you have access to those DB, in a nice GUI.

The original has been great for me. I read a lot of pdfs and highlight and annotate with ezpdf. I use Lecturenotes for taking down info.
I'm interested in the new Note mainly for the improved resolution but tbh I can read technical pdfs perfectly well as is so I'm very doubtful that it's worth the extra cost to trade up.
I think I am going to wait until my first trimester is done and hopefully the price will have gone down. Thanks for all the advice.

Given that the base model is now $550, I am interested in Windows tablets now too such as the new Dell Venue Pros with Baytrail Atom CPU's. However, I don't want to learn a new OS and don't want to learn a new program. I actually was very active at using Onenote in college 5 years ago but it was a flawed app and Microsoft really didn't give it the kick it needed until Evernote started showing them how things should be done on the cloud. But I think I may very well trade in a note 10.1 for a good windows 8 tablet if the feature-set is there. An all-day battery life, powerful pdf annotation tools on the level of iannotate for Ipad, and good multitasking would be my priorities.

I am trading up for exactly that reason. The 720p resolution kind of makes my eyes bleed and ezpdf renders pages too slowly for me. In full-window mode, most texts are fine but I like to multi-window with a note-taking app as well next to the PDF I'm reading. For this purpose, 720p is just too slow a resolution for me. I got a note 3 and pdf rendering is far faster than it was on the Note 2 which is great because I am often flipping quickly through hundreds of pages at once back and forth. I am hoping for that same kind of improvement in the Note 10.1 2014. If the Note 10.1 2013 was 1080p, I probably would wait to upgrade until there's a sale but 2560x1600p is like 4x the pixels of 1280x720p so to me its a huge increase in workflow efficiency given how much I use my note daily.
I currently use the 12' version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. I'm in my first year of medical school and I use this for everything. I actually converted many of my ipad using friends to getting a note as well, mainly for its multiwindow capability and s-pen. EZpdf and LectureNotes are my go to apps in lecture and studying. For students this tablet is miles ahead of the Ipad. I'm look forward to getting my new note 2014 on Friday. Ok now back to studying.

jaztech, I'm in the same boat...first year of med school. I'm currently using my iPad with Notability, but it's hardly ideal. Any tips you have for apps specifically for med students would be awesome. I'll be getting the two you recommended. Thanks again!

You're welcome Visible Body is an excellent app and I use it to supplement Netter's anatomy. It's especially great for getting a 3-D visualization outside of anatomy lab. Price is a little up there but it is completely worth it. Also check out this website: http://www.imedicalapps.com.
When the first edition came out last year there was really no competition.
However windows has grown so much... there are a handful of wimdows tablets from dell and so on that are worth considering.
My main thing is the ability to fully use onenote.

I have Essential Anatomy on my iPad which is pretty stellar, but Visible Body has a few other features that I like as well. Was contemplating getting it for the iPad, but I may opt for the android version instead. Still trying to work out my over all workflow. I may keep the iPad for a "reference" screen (apps, books, etc) and use the Note for taking my notes and making my study guides. Thanks for the tip!

Is this the best ebook reader on the planet?

With Mantano, ezpdf and PDF Max, I think it is. The display makes the pages look like paper.

It has the best tablet screen I've ever used. It allows you to take instant notes or do research on what you're reading. Those two things put it up there. However, I think it's a little heavy to be the perfect "reader". Just my opinion. I certainly will be using it as one.

Can you tell me if the new pdf max update fixes slow handwriting response? I'm looking to replace ezpdf but I don't want top spend 10 to find out if it works well.

I'd suggest buying it. Google gives you 30 mins to refund the app. Yet another reason why android beats iOS.

I think PDF Max has issues with our device or screen resolution due to the handwriting lag. Oddly there's no lag on my galaxy s3 for writing on PDF Max, so I feel like its just a compatibility issue or something for our screen resolution?
Will try todays update when I get home. Hopefully it fixed the laggy annotation.

I thought it was only 15 minutes. Either way, I only get one refund so I want to test it when the app is fixed then I can see if its really worth my money. I did email the developer and they said they will support spen soon.

It seems like the new PDF max update just made performance a bit laggier. Can someone else confirm?
I'm reading a textbook and it happens when im near the bottom quarter of the page scrolling down to the top of the next page. There is a ton of choppiness/lag around that portion but then it goes back to normal after.
I'm gonna try to find the previous version when I get home and check again.
Oddly this doesn't happen on my Galaxy S3 and performance on my phone is splendid.

My Note 2, with CoolReader is the best ereader from all I've seen (apart from a good E-Ink screen). Before that the Note 1, also with CoolReader. With its page-like appearance and great screen contrast Amoled and CoolReader are hard to beat. The Note 3 is slightly worse, possibly because all good looking fonts I tried are thinner on its higher resolution screen. I would put the Note 3 on-par with an iPad 4, which is slightly better than my 2014 Note 10.1.
It is, I think, all a matter of contrast. With poor contrast you have to turn up the backlight, which is unpleasant for your eyes if you have to look into that for a long time. My iPad 4 has good contrast, but Amoled's is clearly better. The 2014 Note 10.1 has a slightly worse contrast than the iPad.

I really love this tablet for my school work. As for the best e-reader for a casual read to relax I think I still prefer my e-ink kindle. Before I realized how well the s-pen worked I had no interest in owning a tablet at all.

Damn straight it is. As a Biology/Pre-med student, most of my classes involve more than a fair bit of note taking, annotating lecture slides, and scratch work. Last semester for organic chemistry alone I filled two notebooks full of notes and problems. This tablet has made my life so much easier in this regard, and I don't have to bother printing out my lecture slides as I can annotate them directly on it. For o-chem II, which involves a lot of complex reaction mechanisms and synthesis problems, it lets me color code my electron arrows, corrections, and highlights, and I don't need to worry about filling it up. :laugh: I would recommend this tablet wholeheartedly to any science/engineering students. It's a little pricey, granted, but I've only had mine for a little bit and I already can't imagine studying without it.

LectureNotes for note-taking and scratch work, and EZpdf for annotating my lecture slides. I also use a powerpoint to pdf converter because some of my professors upload their slides in .ppt or .pptx. With those apps I've become virtually notebook free in class, and I don't have to lug my oversized 17" in MacBook around with me as often.

Mantano reader does I believe. The only bragging point of PDF Max is how fast it is, it is the fastest reader for PDFs I have tried on Android.

Enough negativity, let's share the positives!!

I'm sad for those who are thinking of buying this tablet or those who just recently have and read all the negative things about this amazing tablet. Let's all share the things you love most about this awesome device.
I for one haven't had nearly as many issues as some have posted on xda or here. I think most are too picky or just don't know how to use it.
I love my tablet because it has one of the best screens available, it's snappy, I haven't experience lag with the right settings. I love the spen features, the size is perfect, the over all build is good to me.
With everything this device has to offer and how customizable it can be and even more so if you root or find the right apps the options are almost endless.
I look forward to reading what you all love most about your experience. Let's let's those on the edge about buying or keeping the Note 10.1 2014 edition know its a great buy worth the money!

The S Pen is a god. I haven't used a piece of paper at work since August 2012. I am entirely digital with my notes and diagrams. This is something that just seemed impossible before the S Pen hit the tablet scene regardless of how much I wanted to get away from paper. That combination of a light portable 10" 16:10 Note tablet series with the S Pen is nearly unbeatable at the moment. It is the sweet spot for me.
How's that for positive?

Care to shed any light on your workflow. I'm interested in what apps you use to take your notes, how you archive them, how you search for info at a later date, are they in a format where you can access them across platforms (PC, etc).
I've been wanting to go completely digital with my notes but still haven't been able to come up with a truly workable system.

I do everything through Lecture Notes currently. I used to do everything through Quill but I found Lecture Notes to be perfect for note taking since it allows for folders as well as notebooks. So I can jump very quickly to the notes I need for the current project I'm working on where everything is organized at the location I'm working at for a given project and the year and month if it was something very regular like weekly team meetings. That structure is good enough for me for retrieving whatever I'm looking for. I know Quill has tags if you want to filter individual pages in a given book but the GUI is incredibly slow once you have a lot of notebooks.
My folder hierarchy is typically Location\Building\Project\(Year\Month) for Lecture Notes. That allows me to split things up enough that I'm okay with combing through my notes from that point out. I do date each entry in my notes than highlight it in yellow so I can quickly find notes for a given day. I'm pretty sure LN offers some kind of tagging system if you wanted to make things searchable.
With Quill I backed up old notes to PDF and made a copy on my microSD and my notebook. I actually haven't archived anything yet with Lecture Notes but I know it can export to PDF so I will probably do that. Quill actually offers syncing notes between devices but I never used it. Quill also had automatic backing up to the microSD card.
I don't ever really access my notes on a PC. Due to computer restrictions where I work, my tablet pretty much has to remain an island unto its self while I am at work. If I wanted to make them accessible I would probably sync the PDF files with Dropbox I imagine.
I think Quill has the prettiest writing but Lecture Notes once you set it up is far more functional.
My system would probably fall apart if I wasn't working in an environment of multiple unrelated ever changing projects. If I only worked one project as my entire job, tagging pages would probably be much more important.
For future reference, a setup where you really don't have to think about anything for syncing between devices and backing up, OneNote with Office 2013 on a Surface Pro 2 is probably as simple as you are going to get. That's what my wife uses.

I personally hate this tablet without root. Once I had root, this tablet became an absolute joy to use. I think rooting would be the best advice I could give to a new user that might be frustrated with their Note. Then nearly anything that pisses you off can be fixed in way or another.
Finding the right 3rd party apps is also crucial. I think that if you assume what Samsung provides is the end all of what works with the S Pen, you are really limiting yourself. Once you start branching out you see all the possibilities of the S Pen you can have a much better idea of how useful it is. Also, many times you have to turn on S Pen support for an app such as drawing and note taking apps. Until then it treats the pen like a finger. And sometimes some random 3rd party app may actually do something better than all the big companies with similar apps. Research seriously pays off with this tablet.
A not so super obvious benefit of the S Pen is gaming. I don't know how anybody plays R-Type with their finger when you have all those little enemies flying around the screen from every angle. The S Pen is a huge advantage there. Even casual games like Fruit Ninja, I can play way better with an S Pen because of the higher accuracy and less obstructed vision.

I also use Lecture Notes for work. Besides the notebooks and folders, you can use the index page function to easily find a particular part of a notebook later. I typically index more important meetings within a project notebook to easily reference later. For me this has worked so much better than the many separate paper project notebooks I used to have. I often remember a reference mentioned in a meeting but not the exact value. With my old paper system i would rarely find it. With the indexing in Lecture Notes, it's no trouble at all.
I prefer the Note 8 at work, because the size makes it easier to keep with me all the time. So far I use the Note 10 at home only, but I do backup my Note 8 notes to Dropbox and sync them to my Note 10 with Dropsync so I can pick up the bigger tablet if I ever needed to with all my notes in it already. I used to take notes on an Ipad. The Spen+Lecture Notes combination is a million times better.
I also use the widget or shortcut function of Lecture Notes to place 3 shortcuts on my main screen;
The main notebook of the project I work on for quick access, a notebook I call "to do list", and a blank new notebook in case of an unexpected new topic which I can later rename and organize as needed. All other notebooks and folders I access the normal way. But these shortcuts make it easy to jump between my most used notebooks, and I'm always ready for new topics with an empty notebook.

turn on the filter (sativ something filter, can't quite remember. I use it at 7), that is the key to a good writing. Lecturenotes is good, but complicated.

I also have the Note 8 & 10.1. The Note 8 is my main tablet, especially for work, due to its size. The Note 10.1 is mainly used for inventory, the larger screen.
Via my Note 3
S-Pen is a great tool. I use it frequently in almost everything (except games). Also there is plenty of useful applications that is specific to Samsung like S-Note, Ez-pdf reader, Moon reader, Office suite Pro, Digital Calculator (I don`t remember the exact name) and a lot of apps. Another feature which is useful to me which is Multi window apps (requires a rooted device).
But there is performance difference between LTE and 3G devices due to processor difference.
But finally I`m happy with this tablet.
Since I have gotten my Note 10.1, I rarely now use my Nexus 7 2013. I like the screen real estate and as crazy as it sounds, I like the TWZ apps (calendar, S Note, to name a few). I take sermon notes while in church and compared to my iPad 3, it's a gem. I use OfficeSuite 7 with the keyboard to keep up, but for everything else, normal speed writing, I use the S Pen. It's the biggest reason I got the tablet to start with. I played with the Tab Pro 10.1 in BB this weekend and it flies with KK, but I need my S-Pen, so hopefully we get KK soon.
Turn Off Wifi During Sleep -> Better Battery than iPad
Hi,
For those who complains about battery life sucks, here is one tip: turn off wifi during sleep.
I just went to the Settings -> Connection -> Wifi and enable that. Now my tablet battery is a lot longer than my iPad 2.
Not that I use my Note 10.1 for game or any CPU hungry tasks.
Positives of this tablets...
I love it!
Best for remote services like Splashtop. This tab had saved my butt many days at work where my laptop cannot handle certain files. I would use my powerful desktop at home to pull through the loading, then work from there.
This is also a really light weight tablet. Easily one of the more comfortable ones to use, thought it could be a little more balanced like the tablet Z from Sony.
It is impressive in a business scenario. When I use it to show or modify data with the S Pen, I get many Ooouu and Ahhh from older folks. It is a great thing, if you do any of that sort of business. These impressions stick to people, especially if it's their first time seeing a Note product.
Im also in love with how familiar it is to many people. This is debatable, but my family members, friends, and sometimes strangers could pick this tab up, and know how to use it right off the bat. (especially people with samsung phones) Something Android tabs are lacking just a few years ago. Nowadays, the Nexus 7 is the only other friendly tablet I could think of, though it lacks many many out of the box features like the Note.
mmmmm positive things
glad to have s-pen....
high resolution, maybe not for video but for drawing it fits
what else?... ok let's see... with this device you:
can download torrents with aTorrent...
can edit pictures with Adobe PS Touch...
can draw with Autodesk Sketchbook
can take notes with Lecture Notes (even record video)
can draw vectors with Infinite Design
can make animations with Animation Studio or FlipaClap (i really like the last one)
can add effects to pictures with Handy Photo, SnapSeed, Pixlr Express or Repix
can view Full HD videos with MX Player (they look really small with this screen resolution)
can edit PDF files with PDF Max
can scan documents to PDF with CamScanner
can edit office documents with Kingsoft Office or OfficeSuite
can create diagrams with TouchDraw
can switch from one app to another with Switchr
can decompress or compress files with ZArchiver
can edit videos or adding effects with VideoPad
can create isometric pixel art with IsoPix
can view Flash videos with internet browser
can create pixel like 3d images with Fumotrim
can share video or audio content and sync with TV
can connect to remote desktop with RD Client, SplashTop ot Team Viewer
can control tv through wifi with Unified Remote Control
can transfer content with SuperBeam or WifiDirect
can connect to TV with MHL adapter
can use multiwindow feature (with root you can run 4 "popup window" apps)
even better, you can encode video but believe me, i will take forever and you will burn your note...
and many things i can't remember right now...

You will never win this war against the doomsayer. They will find always something to blame this great tablet.

I for one haven't had nearly as many issues as some have posted on xda or here.

Same for me. And you can came with the argument and the doomsayer still exists that their problem is a general problem of the tablet.

Everything. Not only it replace my other (older) tablets but also my gsm for my daily use. I use my HTC One (so you see how high the level staff is) now only for phone calls and text messaging. All the rest I do now with my Note.
So, what I love? Touchwiz *g* Yes, I love it. And if we got the Magazine UX and other changes from the Pro, I will love it more. Because Samsung made a tablet interface out of it. Google has here still to learn that tablets are not bigger phones.
I also love the default apps from Samsung. They have many add-ons which the replacements are still missing. So, I use the default browser, the default launcher and so on.
What I do at the end with this great tablet:
- internet surfing
- social virtual life (facebook, twitter, linkedIn, Google+, Skype...)
- drawing and painting (and I didn't switch any longer to my desktop to finish it)
- taking notes
- prepare shopping
- listen music
- watch full HD films (on the Note or from the intranet or internet)
- software development
- remove to desktop pc (for small tasks)
- project films, photos to TV
- reading books
- reading comics
- use this forum
