Actually, I'm happy, actually ...

I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 in the color black and the LTE version. I have received along with a mobile phone contract. My first impression was, wow, very nice machine! After a few days I am actually still happy, but there are also points that bother me.

1. The frame creaks!
The frame creaks at the level of the home button and the microUSB port. The sound I hear when you press the home button. It does not always occur, that is the interesting thing. I'm a little WD40 hunt in joints and see if it gets better (This has also helped with my LG G2, by the way ...).

2. The software
The installed software is incredible on one side good and helpful. Also the reason why I wanted to have the tablet and have preferred the iPad Air. The pen-based and example Scrapbook, an ingenious app were to buy this tablet for me the trigger. However, here lies the biggest drawback of the tablet. Many of the pre-installed apps from Samsung make the device unnecessarily slow (point 3) and can not be uninstalled. Not to mention that I just do not want to use some apps, here I am limited despite Android, as Apple does with its users. Remedy would create root here, but mine is just too sensitive. With eFuse and Knox-Counter and a Mac (I have no PC) is, I root just too costly and too uncertain.

3. The tablet responds partially sluggish
Yes, despite the potent hardware tablet is partially a crutch. Unimaginable in my opinion. My guess is that Samsung has the surface and the installed software not optimized clean and we serve as beta testers. Interestingly, a colleague with his touch has 3 similar problems and now also reports have surfaced where the S4 with Android 4.3 prepares problems. Android 4.3 and newer Samsung devices do not seem to be the ideal solution. As a user you can only hope that it is soon repaired and it is fixed with 4.4!

4. WLAN problems with FritzBox
I have massive wireless problems with different Fritz boxes. So, although my tablet connected to the router, but after a few minutes the Verbidnung is disconnected. Again, I hope for a speedy update of Samsung!

- Conclusion: Despite the issues raised I do not want to give it. The display is the power. Together with my LTE contract makes the tablet the go fun and has no connection problems, such as in wireless mode. On the contrary, it has even significantly better reception than my smartphone. The pin operation makes just plain fun. The tablet recognizes my handwriting to 95%, which I think is almost a miracle, here Samsung has really done an excellent job. Also, I can only positive reports about the battery. With intensive use of the battery without any problems holding two days by me. Probably even three, but I prefer to go safe and load it after two days. The sound from the built-in speakers is surprisingly good. They sound clear and voluminous, amazing for the size!

- Who I would recommend the Tablet?
Savvy users who want to use your tablet for work. There is perfect. There are tablets which can be operated easily (iPad). Tablets, which in my opinion, excellent for surfing or email to own (Galaxy Tab 3) or tablets to gamble (Nexus 7, 2013), but there was so far no tablet that is as good as a working machine is like the Note 10.1 in 2014!

The review reflects my opinion again, other opinions are welcome! I hope that I could help :-)
