Nexus 10 users, do you regret your purchase? The good and the bad.

The first N10 I got turned out to be defective, and it took me a while to figure out that was going on. Since I got my RMA unit I have been 100% happy w/ the Nexus 10!
 
The Nexus 10 comes with a nice proccessor but it's a dual-core vs. the Nexus 7 which is quad-core.

Nexus 7 has Tegra 3 which is 4 A9 cores. Nexus 10 has Krait, two A15 cores. Despite the 7 having more cores, the A15 trounces it.
 
Came from a line of iPads. Switched my phone to HTC One and shortly afterwards to a Nexus 10. Great decision. I love the keyboard - this swiping motion for entries is just awesome. I just wish the Nexus 4 had LTE, then my whole mobile world would have been nexus-based.

A little bit incorrect. The Nexus 10 has Samsungs's Exynos 5250 Dual Core processor. The Kriat CPU is from Qualcomm, and isn't a full fledge A15 core, but is often considerd compareable since it has allot in common with the A-15 design from ARM. In a straight up comparison a A-15 core will beat Kriat. With that said though it isn't by such a huge margin to make a big deal about it. The really big deal with the Exynos is the Mali 625 GPU core that allows 3D at such a high resolution.

Also Kriat and the A-15 based Exynos CPU's will pretty much destroy any tegra 3 device in raw performance.

Tegra processors are way to over rated.
 
The biggest letdown for me is the build quality. Every time I pick up the device, the backside caves in with a popping sound :-/

Otherwise, mine's perfect
 
Well yes and no. I really don't think you can beat a good tegra optimized app when the CPU is in the same class as everything else. So when you had the Exynos 4412, the Snapdragon S3 and then other compareable Coretex A9 based CPU's, they were top notch. The problem is for tegra to compete with Krait and the A-15 based Exynos CPU's we need the new tegra 4 SOC. The biggest thing Tegra has for it is Nvidia's strong push to support developer optimisations. None of the other SOC's have really good support for Graphic support optimaztion. And sometimes the OEM's like Samsung almost do the darndest to upset developers by not providing everything external developers need to really optimize for there platform.

I don't get that. Mine is built pretty tough, and definately doesn't feel that frail. The original Galaxy tab kind of did that when I lookd it. It is the main reason I ended up returning it and just keeping a xoom.
 
Best tablet so far.

It's called jail breaking bro. Besides the iPad is more of an entertainment device and it excels at that.It also excels as my note taker because pages syncs across my MacBook and iPad.
 
It's my 1st tablet and I love it. Very comfortable grip. Amazing display. What's not to like?

Even with jailbreaking it still falls short in some areas though.

Evernote syncs well from your Nexus 10 to your MacBook Pro
