Customer Review

Earlier this month, my beloved Asus Transformer TF300 Tablet unfortunately get a defective and has to leave me. Once I overcame my grief (or have sat the first night without Tablet da) has of course a new tablet must occur in my life.

Since I was very pleased with the Asus I naturally thought equal to the current representative of the Transformer series which the Asus Transformer TF701 is. As I always like to have a few choices I have on the rest of the tablet market umgeschaut which tablets else satisfy my needs. Since I have already 2 Samsung mobile phones and now also a Wacom Graphic Tablet (which Samsung has left the technology for the SP's) my Samsung Galaxy Note is here of course immediately in its latest version (2014 Edition) 10.1 stung in the eye. After a brief search this 2 Tablets are then remained on the shortlist and had to compete against each other. Luckily, there are some reviews, recessions here on Amazon and independent speed tests on the internet about both devices so that you can be fully informed before making a purchase.

From the performance, both devices are about the same, in general, the rational decision between the two devices was as good as impossible. The Transformer has what if you put them on the tablet, the functionality of the tablet expands and beside the keys and a touchpad also has a USB 3.0 connection and a spare battery that extends the life of the tablets while a keyboard. The Samsung Note, of course the SP's which was an equally interesting extension of the tablet for me. Thanks to the large community here on Amazon and on various forums on the Internet but I have found that the Asus Transformer TF701 Tablet exactly with this additional feature has big problems the Asus actually not also come to grips with. The spare battery is not properly functioning, as well as the tablet often loses the connection to the keyboard because the ports have too much play. With this knowledge, I was almost convinced that's the note the right decision.

Then there is the factor that I have found for the Asus Tablet virtually no appealing cases, quite unlike the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for standing by a huge range of cases.

After 3 days, I have now decided finally for the Samsung Galaxy Note and wanted my wish Tablet order the WIFI version in black. Thereupon, I stand before the next problem: Amazon currently sells only the White Wifi version which I do not like so much as the blacks. I then, however, saw the Amazon tablet currently not sold new, but very well used as a warehouse Deal. Superior After another day I decided to take the plunge into the cold water and to buy my wish Tablet in the desired color via Amazon Wareehouse. The article was the State: given "Used-Like New" and had no information about any which are optional extras. 3 days later my Note 10.1 is with me (thanks Amazon), at that time I was already more than a week without Tablet and the withdrawal symptoms were excruciating. So I spent the rest of the evening and since her almost every free minute with the tablet and was not disappointed at all.

Appearance:
Once I've bought the tablet as Warehouse Deal as used equipment, I naturally expected the worst (because why else should you return a device?). When unpacking, however it has become clear that just the film was taken down from the display once before, I suppose so because the film to a few bubbles had on display. The side foils and the foil on the back was still attached bubbles. The accessories was still "original packaging". So I suppose that someone had the machine only briefly in his hand to make a quick test and this has then returned again. I was skeptical but I have taken the tablet before the first turn very close look and discovered no blemish.

The back has one mM after successful leather look. Even the seam around the tablet is. By leather structure, the tablet holds back good. The frame is made of aluminum and grooved. it is almost not on the display above, the recess for the SP's is located on the right upper side of the tablets and läst grab beautifully. For me as a left-handed, it is natural always a little awkward to take the pen with his right hand out, and then switch to the left hand. But as a left-handed one is used to this "deprivation" for a long time and this circumstance I noticed only on the 2nd evening. The display glass is continuous as it has now become standard until aluminum edge. The margin is considerably narrower than that of other tablets. This tablet has shrunk by a few centimeters and it looks visually very good. I have often read that is a little more difficult in Landscape format to keep the Tablet, I myself do not find it annoying and have not inadvertently pushed so far to the display thereby. also otherwise looks the front very appealing.

What I have to get used again until the hardware key as well as the 2 touch buttons is next. Especially the fact that is the Back button in most other Android devices on the left. That was at the Asus Transformer and so is also with my Nexus 4 that. This I verdrücke me now and then when I want to go back, but it is getting better.

The first start:
The setup program I find it very successful. As I have already set up some Android devices were also no big surprises here. In addition to the language, time zone and the Wifi code. First you have / can log in to Samsung account. Without such a one could get any OTA updates on the Samsung Galaxy S (i9000), now the OTA update function is no longer but linked to the account. However, I have an account and as I have at the time, set me almost 3 years ago, a Samsung Account. So I just had to Log, this step but you can skip if you do not want to avail the Samsung Services as the backup of data. Then the surprise came to me: Dropbox. Here Dropbox and Samsung has a deal about you get 50GB storage with Dropbox for 2 years after the first activation of the tablets. This also works with existing Dropbox accounts as I have found. After that, the normal Android setup wizard comes where you log on with their Google Account. All in all I needed for the start only, including waiting times shorter than 5 minutes. For the longest time this was to think that I have the password for your Samsung account taken ...

Performance:
As a comparison, I have my experience with the Asus Transformer TF300 with.

I find the response time of the Note 10.1 outstanding. Compared with the Asus Transformer which an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor had with 1.2GHz and 1GB RAM and the NVIDIA GPU. So far I have no shocks or large lag observed in the Note 10.1. Compared to the Transformer everything is really smooth and reacts to every touch immediately, the change between your home screen and the "app list" or "Widgetdrawer" works very quickly without much lag, since I have to wait under already on a second need in my old device. In Crome browser I have no stutter when scrolling and a new tab to open works instant.

I am very enthusiastic about the Wifi signal strength. I have often in my study had problems with the Transformer. There, I've often had only 1-2 strokes reception and only 3 Mbit download speed (from 20Mbit). With the Samsung Galaxy Note, I have until now always 3 strokes in the room and I come with Speedtest.net to 17MBit what this room my current peak value was with my computer does what a very good network card, this is normally achieved via Wifi approximately 16Mbit.

The colors of the display are as I'm used to at Samsung highly saturated. If I compare it directly with my IPS display from Nexus 4 I would say oversaturated. However, if I just look at just my tablet and open images I find that the colors and saturation work very well. Due to the high resolution the picture looks much nicer than on my old Transformer which "only" had a resolution of 1280x800.

In graphically complex games I still have found no major performance issues. So far everything is going very smoothly and I have, in contrast to my old Transformer Also shortens significantly the load times.

The battery life is with me at the moment approximately at 7 hours while I surf in the time not only the Internet but also games. With this result, I am very satisfied, I hope this term reserves at. My Asus Transformer had from the beginning only about 4.5 hours runtime. But as long as you pay attention is the Tablet not completely discharged or unnecessarily long depends on the charger, I am confident to maintain this term.

SP's (my new favorite):
The SP's makes me currently Extremely happy! I've seen it before I got the Tablet kept as a nice gimmick what nice play around and draw around but which I will not really use well. But that has changed as soon as I had to use the pen option! I've had every now and then this touch pen with large rubber Oppel and have this never deemed useful for me. Often also does not really work. The SP's is here, however, completely different. The technology used is as mentioned by Wacom, the world's leading manufacturers of Graphic Tablets, which uses exactly the same technology for its Graphic Tablets. The pen does not require a battery, the Tablet registered but nevertheless the pin approaches the tablet and indicates where the display he would push now if one touches the surface, the pen has also made a key which activates additional functions. The writing experience is very pleasant, a letter I would, however, still prefer to write with a real pen. The weight of the pen one notices almost in hand, the button is good to catch with the forefinger (as long as you properly holding the pen around :). Meanwhile, I have the pin about 70% of my time on the tablet in his hand. Surfing the internet is so much more pleasant MMN, for example here on Amazon pin facilitates precise meeting of links. also opens the pen when talking about a drop-down menu is like. "All Categories" drop-down menu. The navigation without using the stylus and this feature was at the old Tablet very awkward! I could already imagine a more tablet without SP's and think about taking the next smartphone just because of the stylus the current at this time touch smartphone.

I then tried to write with my Wacom pen on the tablet. This does not work, he does not even registered the Wacom tablet pen, conversely so with SP's on my Wacom Graphic Tablet, it does not work well. In addition, a Galaxy Note Works 3 pin also not right on the Note 10.1.

My Fatzit:
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet Edition 2014 is an excellent device. The SP's makes an excellent device which 5 star deserves a device which I want to give a minimum of 6 stars prefer!
Samsung has also promised that "soon" the update to 4.4 coming for the tablet which I am already looking forward.

A software feature that is me not gefält the My Magazine, which will be started once you unintentionally pressed once too often on the Home button or the display from below pulls up. This app actually I do not use and I am angry about it every time when it starts. For that I have now, however, found a solution. If you go into My magazine and there you can "Start by Homebutton" the "check mark" in the options to give away. It is then still open by pulling on the screen from the bottom up (which I also want to disable), but at least the home button issue is resolved. Should anyone have a solution as you can for a My Magazine disable all times or can disable pull even I would be very grateful! Otherwise, I am very satisfied with the Touchwiz interface from Samsung and is the software package which included. A good IR Universal Remote app, I would have only additionally required in the delivery (perhaps instead of the My Magazine app) not be called universal remote control, although WatchON nice for TV and satellite receivers but other devices can not therefore be controlled so I would WatchON. I hope to still be able to find in the Play Store.

Supplement: connecting with Bluetooth keyboards breaks repeatedly ab.Bei write in m me at first, the Bluetooth connection can also be interrupted repeatedly.
I have the P600 version with Android 4.3. At first I thought that a mistake on the keyboard, my Nexus 4 and the Motorola Zoom my wife, however, have not had any problems. I then tried another keyboard, which I knew she has no problem with this and I have had the same problem. Then I then searched and found that this is currently a problem of the Samsung software is for the Note 10.1 on the Internet. However, since not all have this problem, I suspect that it mainly concerns the Wifi Edition of Note. I also found a fairly simple solution that worked great for me. In PlayStore there an app that 'Bluetooth Keyboard' is. In the description, although it is the superuser right just needed but ignore. After installing simply connect the keyboard once the touch, start the app and then once 'Service status' and a switch. Then a couple of keyboard drivers are reinstalled and since I have no more problems, you have to leave but Installs (The app is free).

I hope to have you helped with this review and I would be glad if you click on this review to "YES". If there should still be questions, of course, I am happy at your disposal and will try it as soon as possible to answer me.
