Q.
A. The Galaxy Note 10.1 comes with the S Pen (a Wacom-based pen) that lets you write notes or draw pictures. It comes with free Photoshop Touch and Polaris Office. It also lets you run two apps side-by-side. So, you can be browsing the web on one half the screen and have you notes app open on the other half to take notes on what you're reading online.
The Galaxy tab does not have any of the above features, but it is still a great tablet. It is much cheaper because it does not have the expensive Wacom digitizer screen for the pen.
So, if you want to draw or take notes and like running two apps at once, go with the Note 10.1. If you just want a regular tablet for browsing the web and using apps, the Galaxy Tab will be good enough.
Will a U.S Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 work in New Zealand?
Q. Here in New Zealand, everything is overpriced and it is much cheaper to order things from US sites. I am looking at buying a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition from Amazon.com as it is about $300 cheaper than buying it here. So would a US version of this tablet work in New Zealand? I know that it comes with Hulu plus and all that which definitely wouldn't work here, but I was just wondering if the device was region-locked in some way. Also, I know that Amazon doesn't ship electronics to NZ, but we have this service run by New Zealand Post which allows us to have US items delivered here. The only problem I see with getting a US version is the AC adapter being suited to US sockets, but I can always use a different one that is compatible here like my apple AC adapter because the chord which connects the Galaxy to the adapter is removable. Thanks!
A. As far as the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 version is concerned, there are not much limitations and restrictions in android tablets and they are really easy to use anywhere, pretty universal in this sense, so you would be able to use every feature on it as far as there is no physical requirement of you to be there in US. It would work well.
Here it mentions about Galaxy Note 10.1 functionality outside US and pros and cons for getting it:

I wont prefer using the adopter of Apple product on any other device other than Apple's devices, but you can find the same charger on most of the android device, but remember to use a "tablet charger" since it takes more charge and needs a bigger charger, dont try the phone charger, it would be slow as hell and might even fail easily. And region lock is generally on devices with SIM slot as when you insert a SIM card and Note 10.1 wont come with any kind of slot to add SIM. You'll simply be using it with a WiFi connection.
Hope this helped!
Tablet for Graduate School? Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Questions?
Q. I'm starting graduate school in Social Work this month. During my undergraduate years, I would carry around my 6-pound laptop for taking notes in addition to textbooks. Don't ask how I did it...
Now I'm interested in getting a tablet for reading e-books, taking notes, audio recording lectures, and scheduling my time. As a plus, it would be great to access my email, browse the net, and watch videos while riding the bus for 1 hour & 30 minutes...
I'm considering the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for those purposes, but I have a few questions...
1. Is it the best tablet for taking notes?
2. Is the keyboard you can buy just as functional as a laptop keyboard? Good for heavy note taking?
3. Can I sync or transfer my notes from the tablet to my laptop or vice versa? (I have Windows 7 and use Microsoft Office and PP the most).
4. Can it record audio for long lectures (3 hours)? Good quality audio playback?
5. Is the size practical for reading e-books?
6. From your experience, what is the battery life?
7. Is it worthwhile to get 4G wireless? How much do you pay monthly for that?
In the end, I'm not looking for something to completely replace my awesome 6-pound laptop. Just something to get the job done while I'm away from home.
If you have any other tablet or app recommendations, then please share your thoughts. Thanks!
4.5. If it can record audio, can you still multitask (like typing notes or switching apps) without disrupting it?
A. 1. Is it the best tablet for taking notes?
...Yes. With the S-Note and S-Pen it is definitely best and well optimized for taking notes
2. Is the keyboard you can buy just as functional as a laptop keyboard? Good for heavy note taking?
...Yes. You have the bluetooth keyboard and it is pretty good for typing
3. Can I sync or transfer my notes from the tablet to my laptop or vice versa? (I have Windows 7 and use Microsoft Office and PP the most).
...You can transfer files from Galaxy Note to computer by either plugging in USB cord or you can also transfer wireless through WiFi.
4. Can it record audio for long lectures (3 hours)? Good quality audio playback?
- If it can record audio, can you still multitask (like typing notes or switching apps) without disrupting it?
...Yes you can record depending on the storage you have left. And the Split screen function on Galaxy note allows you to run two processes even side-by-side on same screen
5. Is the size practical for reading e-books?
Yes. It is pretty good size to be frank
6. From your experience, what is the battery life?
Read these comments on Galaxy Note 10.1 from an actual user, would definitely help you out on this decision:

7. Is it worthwhile to get 4G wireless? How much do you pay monthly for that?
Payment depends on the package and the network provider. So it varies a lot. If your usage is outside home mostly. Then only I would recommend the 4G.
Hope this was helpful!
