To me who will be using the tablet mainly for taking notes, drawing stuff (not so often), watching videos and play some games, S Pen on note 8 is a huge plus, but touchwiz UI and non-stock android hold me back. It looks kinda bad and I also want fast android update ^^. That is my biased opinion though, since I only use stock android on galaxy nexus before. so I'm looking for opinion regarding touchwiz from people already using it thx :D good review to read here http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_8-review-916p11.php | ||

If you want the pen support, you'll get over TouchWiz quickly since you don't really have a choice. The Note 8 is basically a note-taking tablet, and N7 is an entertainment tablet. My Note 8 plays Crazy Taxi and Netflix movies fine, but I dislike tablet gaming and watching movies on a 8" screen is a bad experience, regardless of whether it's on a high quality 1080p screen or an okay 1280x800 screen. If it's your ONLY way to watch things or the need for a pen is marginal, then I'd probably go for the Nexus 7. If you have a reasonably sized laptop or TV, those will probably be better (even at lower resolutions.) When I'm watching movies on a plane, the mediocre screen factors in to about 2% of my enjoyment. The other 98% are tied into how crappy the flight/movie are. S-Notes is a dumb app (besides the quick memo feature.) Get LectureNotes instead, for srs note taking. | ||

I prefer stock over TouchWiz but with a little simple customisation (homescreens lockscreens etc) you can minimise the amount of TouchWiz you have to experience. | ||

I occasionally do graphic, drawing, animation and stuff, just not frequent enough (like a project or two every 2-3 months) to justify a wacom bamboo. so i was thinking of getting a multi-purpose tablet for daily uses and convert it to a makeshift tablet input to draw my stuff when needed, hence the S Pen is appealing. if only other tablet like nexus 7 also support digitizer pen  On November 04 2013 17:17 Jibba wrote: I'm not exactly sure what heavy tablet usage constitutes though, aside from gaming. It's never been slow for browsing. The pen used to have added delay when using it in multi-window mode with a PDF open (not a PPT though) but 4.2.2 fixed that. I can try loading double browser windows with Flash or something later. may be it's my bad wording or I misread your reply but by too slow update I mean non-stock android are often way behind in new updates, that's why I like nexus 7 ( and any device that run stock android) | ||
