Coming from the Apple World to Note 8

[Farish]

I bought the Note 8 when it came out and I have to say I am a big fan of the device. Only thing is I have an iPad Air and the battery life of the Air blows the Note 8.0 out of the water. My only other disappointment is because I bought the ATT LTE version, there has been no updates.

I am a heavy tablet user, so I would have to recharge my Note 8 everyday, while the iPad Air every 3 days.

Some other thoughts.

I hate 3rd party stylus on the iPad Air, the Note is a much better implementation of that. If I am going to a meeting and I am going to be taking extensive notes, I will use my Note.

I take a lot of notes, draw diagrams etc, the Note is the best tablet line for this. If you don't do or need this, get a Nexus 7 if Android is your thing.

The Galaxy line of tablets stink versus the Note line.

For reading Magazines, Web Content, Etc I prefer a 10 inch tablet. For portability I prefer 8 inch tablet.

Next year when I do my annual Android tablet refresh, I will probably buy the Note 10 that is released in 2014.

As a former ipad owner -- 1 ipad 1, 2 ipad 2s, 1 ipad3, 2 ipad minis 1st gen, I absolutely love android. I first went with a 2012 nexus 7, then a 2013 nexus 7, then (and still) the lg gpad by 2 (Ibought the second when newegg briefly offered it for half price, $175), and within the past cpl of weeks i bought a new note 8 on ebay for 279. I am in love. The spen has a bit of a learning curve but I'm using it more and more. It's amazing. I'm now thinking of getting the note 10 2014 if at the right price.

I got talked into the ipad. I am not a fan. Greatly missed my Sammy...had sold it. I got a great deal on ebay on the note 8.0 and am very happy again. And have a buyer for my ipad and no loss of money on it. Even happier about that.
