| Samsung Note 10.1 vs. 12.2
Hi All,
I'm looking to buy a Tablet for the upcoming school year, decided to go full paperless. I need one with a stylus, and if it has its own stylus support the better it is. After a lot of research I have narrowed it down to these few...
This is what i'm thinking.
Note 10.1 2014 edition:
Pro's:
Perfect size
digitizer and stylus
great resolution
versatile
Cons:
Software support and upgrades dwindling since it came out in late 2013.
No longer sold in stores which means there may be a replacement coming out soon?
Note 12.2:
Pro's:
digitizer and stylus
great resolution
Has software support and latest version of Android OS
cons:
It's big, but the size of a paper
Another thing to think about with this one is that I won't be using it to watch movies anyways, mainly for school work and taking notes and stuff, so i'm thinking the size won't be much of an issue but not sure.
Tab A 9.7:
This one is in the back of my mind.
Pro's:
Size
Price
digitizer and stylus
Software support and newer
Cons:
Screen Resolution
I have done some research and have realized that these are my only options for Samsung products with a stylus, and it doesn't seem like anything is coming out soon.
Keep in mind it will mainly be used for school stuff, only light internet browsing. I may take it out of town with me when I go travelling. I have a laptop for everything else.
What do you guys think I should get? do you have any of these? do you like it?

Honestly for me nothing beats taking notes with a paper and pen. Maybe times have change but I think you will found yourself going back to using paper and pen for tanking notes.

I don't think so. I'm in my second degree right now, and the paper stacks so high its crazy. I'm so so so done with paper. and flipping through the shit.
Even so, if I buy used I can try it out and then resell it if I don't like it. I seriously hate paper and lugging it around everywhere right now though. It would be so much easier just carrying the tablet around and not worrying about anything else.

Why don't you look at the MS Surface 3? It's around the same price as the Note12, has great battery life, a nice stylus/digitizer for $49 as well it runs all Windows software. You can also add a keyboard later if you so desire.

one manager in the office has either a 10 or 12 and likes it. he's been using it for years and it's still good for him. i was at costco checking out the tab A and the size seems good for portability.
i don't have any but if i get a tablet i'd consider the A based on size/cost. i heard the processor is about as fast as the note 8 which would suck since that is a 2-3 year old tablet. not sure if that's true though.

I found a tab a 9.7 for cheap. What do I have to be careful of when buying these tablets used? They said it is new. Just opened box.

make sure it turns on, go into settings and scroll to the bottom and find "About Tablet" check the info in there. also go into security section and look under "Device Administrators" in case they installed a hidden "findmyphone" type of app. and use it to get your info etc.

can't you just check to ensure wifi connects and browse, and then check speakers and screen display and then do a reset to default settings to clear any 'findmyphone' stuff for stolen info? never done it before but i'm curious

i use ceberus and if its any indicator of other findmyphone apps, it will still be on the phone after a default settings reset.
the only i can think of it not staying is if a new rom is loaded. or as i said through removal in device administrators section.
i also check the wifi if its working and if no wifi is available open a hotspot on your phone to do the test.
