For work/productivity: Galaxy Note 10.1 or Nexus 10

Tried it today at Mall, the Note 10, and it's doesn't catch my writing speed, so doesn't replace paper for me. I was also looking at Ativ smart Pc Pro, but price is not really attractive, need to see how digitizer performs there and is there any decent software that recognize manual input into type text? Also battery life is big question for me.

Baramon,You can change the speed settings for the handwriting. When you have the keyboard on the screen, you want to chose the gear symbol for the settings. You'll see handwriting about a third of the way down the list. From there, there are a bunch of settings you can do, including speed.

I've been very happy with it's handwriting recognition. I have sloppy writing, and it will keep up with me at normal writing speed with only a few typos, mostly my r's can become n's. The only thing you need to watch is to keep the writing straight across. And I often switch between multi window apps and have never noticed any lag. The ONLY time it's been less than instant is when I was also downloading something. Also, I've written at length about how the Snote has totally transformed me from having a jumble of paper and printouts to having all the information in on one of my Notes, I also have the original Note phone. You should check out a thread where someone asked if we would buy it again. Most of us said YES and explained why. You might find it helpful.

The Nexus 10 does indeed have a dual core CPU. The massive edge ,performance wise, that the Nexus 10 has over the Note 10.1 is the fact that they are cortex A-15 cores not the older (slower) cortex A-9 cores that the note 10.1 has. also the nexus 10 has a dramatically better GPU, Mali T-604

I see where youre coming from, but the Nexus 10 has an arm 15 based processor where the nexus has an arm 9 based processor.
