Great tablet

l am very happy with this tablet and it quickly became my favourite device for browsing, reading the news (I really like the flipboard , although I wish it had more articles offline), phone calls with Skype, drawing, reading Kindle books , and watching video. The screen resolution is brilliant, and the built-in speakers produce an above average sound.
My favourite feature, however , is the S-pen, I'm writing this review with the S-pen, and it works flawlessly , although my handwriting is not the neatest. l wanted a device like this for years, something that transforms handwriting to text, and Samsung finally gave me something that works. Not only that, it also works well for drawing. This alone makes this the best tablet currently on the market.
All the other features you could wish for are there. It is fast, runs smoothly, has a long battery life, good cameras, and countless great apps available from the play store. lt is light, the size is great to read letter-sized pdf files and draw, yet it is still very portable, and the price is reasonable.
As everything, it is not perfect , but all the issues I noticed are minor. Since I use the tablet a lot in portrait mode to read pdf files, I don't like the placement of the buttons.They would be better placed at the small edge, where it would be easy to use them in both modes. The charging port would be better on the side as well, so that it could be charged while standing in the cover. I hope Samsung will change this in future models.
One thing that I hope will be changed soon is the odd fact that there is no option to sync the time over internet in this model. That would be less of a problem if it did not reset to the manufacturing date when the battery is drained.
lt would also be great if it was possible to switch between pen window and keyboard by pressing a button, maybe on the S-pen.
Overall, I would recommend the Note 10.1 2014 to everyone who considers buying a tablet this size, and I would definitely buy it again.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, s pen, multi window
Cons: button placement

A powerful machine for a powerful lifestyle!

This is my first foray into the vast and varied tablet world. I spent so much time researching them, and settled on the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition due to its specifications. I have to say, I am not disappointed and have not looked back since my purchase! The specs on it are impressive; I have recently encouraged two others to get the same model by showing them what this puppy is capable of! I have a very hectic lifestyle, so I wanted a device that can integrate into it. I actively use it on a daily basis, it has three email accounts tied to it, Autodesk Software for my technical drawing needs (this machine handles this software flawlessly), office software for my documents, I take notes on it during class (saves trees!), and I game heavily on it. I have an original PSX, I dumped the BIOS and it runs my games effortlessly. I cannot stress enough the quality of this device. My only qualms with it are that on occasion, it will stutter (the Android OS), and the speaker placement I believe was better used in the front facing configuration as in the previous model. Also, more of an annoyance: the auto correct feature will drive you nuts. It can be disabled, I highly recommend doing so. Other than these issues, I have no other complaints! Good job Samsung, you have my support!
Cons: speaker placement, android os will stutter on occasion, auto co-wrecks!

Great upgrade

I have the previous Note 10.1 and this one is a major improvement. In particular the design and screen resolution really pop this time. It does lag with some functions, but I am anticipating Samsung will improve this with future updates. This was the case with the first Note 10.1 and updates really improved the experience. You simply can't beat the multi-functionality offered by the SPen on a 10 inch screen.
I love this tablet. It's extremely efficient and looks good. It has become a part of my work day, travels with me everywhere. Some of my best dollars spent for sure!!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, efficient in workplace
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best tablet I've ever had!

I got into the tablet market several years ago and could never quite find one that had it all. Well the search is over! My first Samsung product was the note II cell phone and the love affair began... At Christmas 2013 I got the Smart tv and Note 8.0 but I really wanted the Note 2014 10.1 so I started saving up and my new Note 2014 arrived a couple of days ago andI just can't put it down! The screen is brilliant and beyond belief and it's fast, NO LAG TIME HERE. The S-pen re-design makes writing a breeze. I use the S-Pen 80% of the time and the ease of use is a snap. It synchronized with my 8.0 and note II so I didn't really have to do too much other than turn it on and enable the sync function. Battery life has been very good so far. I'm so happy with my new note 2014 and highly recommend this Top of the line tablet. I understand That price maybe an obticle but when you factor in the quality and functionality of what your getting I think you'll agree that the Note 2014 10.1 is an investment worth making. It was for me!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to use
