Average screen time?

[gglez]

I am in the process of getting the note 10.1 2014 edition for medical school and was wondering how much screen time I can expect to get off one charge with all the smart features off, battery saving mode on, and just using s note or Polaris to take notes.

It depends on how much you are actively using it, but I use it fairly actively I would say, and get about 7-8 hours before I have to attatch my external supplimental power source.

Yea, I plan on being in class for 8 hours taking notes so I need at least 8 good hours of screen time to just take notes. I plan on having everything off except s note. Can this tablet realistically give me that for 2-4 years. Also how is the charging time? Does it progressively get worse with time? I was getting ready to purchase this tablet but am hesitant now after hearing so many negative things about battery life and charging time on here. Are these common problems?

I love this tablet and think you'll be fine. You can always get a extra power bank, for peace of mind

Nobody has had this tablet for two to four years so there are no guarantees. If the battery does go bad after a few years then you could always replace it.

In 2-4 years the technology will be so improved you will probably have your tablet replaced by newer generational at least once maybe twice... And as other have said, there is replacement batteries....
