Sharp screen. Fast processor. Extremely easy to use. Amazing live tech support.
CONS
Short battery life. Interface is very geared to buying things from Amazon.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)

This year's Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet picks up exactly where last year's model left off, making key upgrades to the display and internals while improving its core stylus and multitasking features, but it's still not perfect.
Excellent multitasking. Sharp, vibrant display. Pressure sensitive stylus with useful software integration. IR remote.
CONS
Buggy at times. Expensive.
CONS Intel Atom processor offers limited performance. Keyboard accessory not available.
