Is the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) Out of Luck for Marshmallow?

Yeah, it's highly unlikely that it'll get Marshmallow. The device got Lollipop after Marshmallow was released.

Good point. I'm in the process of recommending a tablet to someone who is NOT an early adopter. So i'm trying to get him out as far as posible. I'll try to find one with MM already on as well as HW that is maxed. Maybe he'll get out to what ever is after nuget.
Anything is possible since Samsung just released version 5.1.1 for the Note a couple of weeks ago. Samsung has so many phone and tablets they probably don't have enough product engineers to work on firmware upgrades. Probably many of their best people are trying to resolve the Note 7 disaster with exploding batteries. It took ages to upgrade to version 5.xxx from version 4.xxx. The Note (2014 edition) is still one of the best tablets on the market since it was introduced in 2013.

I just got my note 10.1 back from being repaired and did a factory reset. It is on 5.1.1 right now and is currently downloading a very large system update (480+mb). I think it could be marshmallow. I will keep you posted.
PS I have the SM-P600, white, 32GB, Wi-Fi only model

No luck, it's just a security update, albeit a large one. There were minor changes like the setup screen when you factory reset, but still 5.1.1.
Considering I tried out the "premium" tablet on the market now - the tab s2 - and most of the specs were the same or lower than the note 10.1 2014 edition, I'm hoping Samsung still supports it with a marshmallow update. I used the tab s2 for 2 days before returning it. No s-pen and lower screen resolution and dpi were a no go for me. I'll stick with my note 10.1 until they release a new note or a new line of premium tablets with s-pen support.

After I the update to 5.1.1 for the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) my battery dies within 30-45 mins. I tried a factory reset, and that didn't help. Then since the warranty expired I rooted it and re-calibrated the battery w/ the Battery Calibration app that deletes the battery info file and it recreates it from scratch in case of corruption. That didn't seem make much of a difference if any. I'm blaming 5.1.1. Anyone else have this issue and or remedy's? Has anyone installed Marshmellow? If so what site did u get it from? Stable? Any other recommendations?
Thx,
Thx,
I had Marshmallow installed on my tablet for a few days more for me to test it out. It was Cyanogen Mod based so its pretty much vanilla android. The last time I looked, Marshmellow is stable albeit poor camera functionality. I am currently staying stock because I love my S-Pen. It works with well with Marshmellow but not as well as Touchwiz. Look for any roms that work for the P-605 as they work for the P-607T as well

I believe it's coincident after update to Lollipop. I have different models of Samsung: T900, P900, P905, P907, P605, P607, P600, all are updated to Lollipop because I don't like the ugly graphic interface of Kitkat, none have the issue of battery. Don't blame the software for hardware problem.
Read topics related to battery or charging of this model you will see where the problem comes from.
I have more than 10 Samsung tablets, all are running Lollipop, I can confirm none has issue of quick discharge after fixing the battery connector.

From everything I read the Note/Tab Pros are out of luck. I used Cyanogen Mod on a TouchPad for a couple of years with little problem. It extended (actually improved) the life of that tablet. But with the TAB/Note Pros you're alternative isn't a brick for a tablet. The current versions that are on them actually work pretty well. I can do pretty well with 5.1.1 for quite a while before apps are no longer supported at that 5.1.1 version. Hopefully by then others will have launched devices similar to the Note Pros. Fingers tightly crossed.
No, Android 5.1.1 is not responsible for any battery issues. My tablet has also been updated to the same OS without any adverse consequences for the battery. However, after 2 years, the battery was getting weak. Thus, I obtained a 3rd-party battery replacement, installed it and now the tablet gets comfortably 10 hours of battery life, at least.
Well, right now Samsung is pushing the Tab A as a tablet "vehicle" of the S-pen. It is questionable that this tablet will go over Android 6. I think that Samsung is evaluating its position in this space and it may decide to switch "note" vehicles to "Windows 10" since there Microsoft is responsible for all the development work.
