Q. I'm going to be a freshmen in college this fall. And I really want a great reliable tablet (not an ipad). I saw the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and really liked it but then I realized the Note 10.1 is the one with the stylus and I can write. But I can get the Tab 10.1 and get a detachable keyboard, but It doesnt come with a stylus so I cant "write down notes" HELP!! Which one should I get!! I love them both but I really want a stylus and I really want a keyboard. Can the Note 10.1 have a keyboard attached?
A. Yes, the S Pen of Galaxy Note is the main difference, you can draw and drop notes with the stylus. The Galaxy Note has more powerful processor so you'll find it smoother when running heavy tasks. Here you can find a good comparison between the two:

Let me give a more detailed comparison here.
Areas that the two tablets are the same / similar:
- Same resolution and pixel density (1280 x 800 149ppi)
- Same screen size (10.1")
- Same stereo speakers
- Similar weight (both around 1.3 pounds)
- Similar battery life (both around 8 hours)
The Galaxy Note 10.1" is more expensive, as it's a more advanced tablet compared to Galaxy Tab 2 10.1". Here are areas that the Galaxy Note is better:
- It comes with a stylus called S Pen, and it has a more sensitive touchscreen for drawing on it
- 1.4GHz Quad core processor (vs 1.0GHz Dual core processor on Tab 2)
- Better rear-facing camera (5MP with LED Flash light vs 3MP with no light)
- Better front-facing camera (1.9MP vs 0.3MP)
- More built-in RAM (2GB vs 1GB)
- Video out (HDMI out vs none)
So if you need the stylus for drawing and dropping notes then definitely get the Galaxy Note. If you don't need it, and you don't mind the slower performance of Galaxy Tab 2, then you can get it. And sure you can a bluetooth wireless keyboard for both devices. Try to look up for "Kensington bluetooth keyboard case" on Amazon, it's a good one.
Do I need a case for my tablet?
Q. I am getting the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7-inch for Christmas. I don't usually drop my electronics, but my Otterbox Commuter saved my iPhone a couple times. Do I really need a case, or is the Galaxy Tab fairly durable? It seemed to hold up fairly well in drop tests.
A. I just bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. I don't normally drop my electronics either but after paying so much for a tablet I would definitely recommend getting a case for it. I think it would help you in the long run. I went to amazon and found one with pretty good reviews for pretty cheap. Its shipped in just a few days. Definitely a good deal and I'm alot more at ease about the life span of my tablet.
Which Samsung tablet is better? and the differences please!!?
Q. there is two i'm interested in, is the Samsung galaxy tablet 2 note 10.1 or the Samsung galaxy 3 10.1 tablet... i'm mostly going to use it for multitasking, surfing the web, playing games, music, photos, recording, and other entertainment stuff. Also use it for middle/high school but not often.
A. Hi. In case if you wish to use it for multi-tasking I would actually prefer the Galaxy Note 10.1 because of its split screen feature. Where you can run two tasks on same screen side-by-side. The rest of the stuff would be done pretty well also. The quad core processor and 2Gb RAM helps a lot in making sure there is no lag at all.
Comments on Galaxy Note 10.1 from an actual user, pros and cons plus comments on overall performance:

Galaxy tab 3 10.1 is not bad at all. If you are low on budget and can work out with the basic features it has, then it would be great value for money with many of the features being at par with the Note 10.1.
The benefits of Note 10.1:
- Stylus Pen and S-Note app
- Split screen functionality
- Quad core processor
- 2Gb RAM
- Better resolution camera
- Adobe flash built-in
Hope this helped!
