Without having actually handled this new device, it seems to me this is a fantastic tablet.Samsung has listened to users , and has improved the tablet in every area. This is evidenced by them making it smaller, lighter, moving spen silo to a more accessible position, higher resolution screen, better processor, improved software for spen, 4.3 JB,3 gb RAM,USB charging,moving notifications to top of screen, bigger battery to compensate for higher resolution screen, improved casing , higher MP camera, what more could you ask for? I have no complaints at all with this new model, and I cannot wait to get my hands on one! The one I have is fantastic, an upgraded one is only going to make the experience even better. I am personally very impressed with the effort Samsung has put into this device, IMO the best Android tablet for actually Doing, and creating.
