Excellent Tablet-Great for Drawing

I bought this tablet primarily for note taking and drawing and for these functions it is outstanding. Drawing with AutoDesk Sketchbook is smooth and the tactile quality of the screen and stylus is excellent. There is no discernible lag in pen actions and the pressure sensitivity works wonderfully. I was surprised to see how much of a well rounded tablet this is. It is in many ways much better than the iPad. The screen colors are saturated and viewing angles are wonderful. The Android OS is mature and glitch-free. The hardware itself is well crafted with a quality feel despite the predominance of plastic in the body. So 5 stars for me. I love it.

Super Tablet

I got this tablet for Christmas. My wife got the new Ipad. I like this more that the Ipad. I have been learning as I go as I haven't had an andriod device before, but I have not had any trouble learning to use it. I love everything about it. One thing I especially like is that the speakers are on the front of the tablet which directs the sound straight at you. I still have a zillion things to learn and will give a better review after I figure it all out.I will say that my wife wishes she would have gotten the Samsung instead of the Ipad after using mine.

Great Tablet

I have purchased several tablets over the last 12 months or so. Partially for personal use and partially to test them for a project my company is working on. Two from ASUS (one Android and one Windows RT), a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10 and 7, an iPad, and this Galaxy Note. The Galaxy Note is the best one out of all of these, including the iPad. The pen is neat, and can be used for lots of different things, but I have not really used it much. The display is clean and bright, touch is extremely responsive, sound quality and volume is excellent, and the processor is fantastic. The plastic back seems slightly flimsy, and detracts from the overall quality perception, but I think this is a perception thing only, and there is likely a good reason they used it instead of someting more solid. In my opinion, this is the best overall tablet on the market today.

Satisfied but learning curve very steep

I am expert in Windows PC hardware and multiple software application since late 1970's but don't have an android or i-phone so found using device difficult to master. Had to download all 217 pages of the User Manual to begin to understand how to use it. Unit works well as advertised so far, and much easier to travel with than my Laptop computer. Like all new hardware and operating systems it will take some time to understand all the features. Internet was accessed easily and email connected seamlessly.

A gift given

I bought my wife this tablet based on a recommendation from my son in law. Both my wife and daughter received these and are very happy with them. My only concern is the lack of reasonably priced accessories (Cases, free standing keyboards etc) but the item itself is great.
