Re: In search of a good tablet: any feedback about GOOGLE NEXUS 10? -- PCTECH

I am a techie (iPad, Android phone, laptop, bluetooth everything) but I
really hate electronics in meetings. We are able to take notes with pen and
paper and stay focused, but I have yet to see an meeting where the guy with
the laptop or tablet is both distracted and a distraction.

I carry an (old) iPad for checking email and such between things, and a
moleskine notebook. Or a steno pad. Or a composition notebook. Or a
clipboard an pad of paper.

Between meetings or at the end of the day I review my notes for any action
items, and take a picture of the notes with my phone (Andriod, with a
program called Camscanner that makes it PDF on Google Drive immediately).

My handwriting is neat enough that I can forward the PDF along when my role
is to scribe the meeting.

That said, my next tablet is going to be a Surface. Be aware that the
Surface Pro is heavier than the Surface RT .. heavy enough to notice.

Hi list!

I am planning to get a tablet to help me with my personal business life.
Besides being a SR Programmer, I work a lot in church and I have too many
meetings to keep carrying notebooks around and making notes. I use my
phone (GALAXY III) and I use my calendar and contacts a lot; however, I
believe is time to evolve and get to the next level. I am not into the
games when dealing with a tool like this. If I want to play, I just go to
my XBOX360. I am looking for a powerful and at the same time a cost
effective tablet for my personal use.

I have been comparing different tables in the last couple of days vs. the
iPad and its different versions. For example, although iPad 3 had a lot of
revolutionary changes in its technology (strongest jump was from 2 to 3, I
have read) I have read a lot of reviews and comparisons between the major
tablet versions and found out that GOOGLE NEXUS 10 is pretty much the
latest, more robust rival for the iPad; in addition, not only the
technology the Nexus technology is higher but also the price: this is a big
benefit.

Finally, because I really appreciate this list's reputation and
experiences, I wanted to share my opinions and findings with you and see
what is your feedback and opinions on this and what would you do. I have
already used the following links in my research, besides so many others:

c) http://reviews.cnet.com/best-tablets/

Your feedback is highly appreciated.
