New tablet advise

Its time to replace my aging Asus Transformer TF-101.

I've been looking at the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition.

it should do Screen Mirroring with my Samsung TV, what are peoples views on it?

i want a powerful one, and would like 1080p, and waterproof, but the Sony one screen pixel count is pants.

Re: New tablet advise

Ive got a Samsung Galaxy tab, Its not the Note one but mines awesome. I used to have an Ipad and I prefer the Samsung to the ipad. It syncs with my TV and has Googleplay Store.

If I was you i'd go for Samsung. I dont think you will be dissapointed.

Re: New tablet advise

None of my local retailers have the Black or White Note 2014, so I might wait or buy online.

Re: New tablet advise

I've got the Note 10.1 2014, and I've had nothing to complain about since I got it. It'll shortly get the 4.4 KitKat upgrade too.

I went for the black one as I like watching films on it and thought the white border around the screen would be distracting.

Re: New tablet advise

Mrs Swoop has the 10.1 2014 note and it a great bit of kit.
No complaints at all.

Re: New tablet advise

I've seen a 32Gig black & white models of the 2014 edition on Amazon, but the black is £50 more expensive.

Re: New tablet advise

Go for the 16GB Note 10.1 and it's the other way around

Black one £349 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Gala.../dp/B00FAKCCO2

White one £417 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Gala.../dp/B00FZLHMFK

As you can put an SD card in the tablet, don't think its really needed to go for the higher internal memory

Re: New tablet advise

Reading reviews doesn't fill me with hope.

Mobohub looks like it's based in Germany and doesn't come with a UK adapter

Gamecybershop could be uk

Top deals uk looks like it's US and not covered in Europe.

Could you please tell me the model number of the ac as mine cam with the euro one (+ a generic UK) so I can buy one.
