This review is from: SAMSUNG Galaxy Note 8.0 2GB Memory 8.0" 1280 x 800 Tablet Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) Black
Pros:
Just a few words:
I kept this for more than a month expecting something bad to happen. After all it was a refurbished product and it has a shorter waranty as well. Nothing bad so far. I owned a Nexus7 for a while and I obviously compared with that. Is no secret Nexus has a better harware, but I could barely notice this. Is true gaming is not the main task I use this tablet for, although I do play ocasionally. The screen is larger than my previous Nexus and this makes it a big win. I can read better and most of my work has been considerably improved. The stylus is amazing. First it is much more efficient to use a stylus instead of just your finger. Everything you do you do it faster and with more precision. On top of that this has pressure sensitivity which opens up the scene for some very neat apps. After this tablet I do not think I will ever buy a tablet without a stylus ever.
Battery last a little bit less than my Nexus, which was expectable, but again this is not a serious problem. I was in doubt about Samsung apps, but now I have to admit some are quite nice. The interface is designed to improve productivity and it didn't take much to get used with it.
Cons:
A better battery would make this even better. A longer warranty would be nice too. The "back" comes in your way when you write and you can touch it by mistake like 98% of the time. However turning the tablet sideways solves this issue.
