It's plenty fast. Could it be faster? Of course, but it's very functional at the current speed.
16 GB is just the internal storage. It's easily upgradable by popping in a micro SD.
I prefer function over pretty in a tablet. I own an iPad, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Nexus 7 and a Note 10.1.
The iPad and Galaxy Tab are retired.
The Note 10.1 is amazing for work and for meetings. The Nexus 7 is for simple stuff at home.
Nothing I've seen compares to the Note's functionality with the recent premium suite upgrade.
