Looking for a tablet mainly for comics and browsing, does the galaxy tab 2 fit the bill or should I go all out and get one of the big guns (n10/ipad4)

Although I haven't tried comics I've read in other Questions that they work great. I think the browser does a great job; fast and efficient. I would assume the "big guns" can do more, but you'll certainly pay a lot more. For the money, this is the best choice I can think of. You should know, however, that you can't load apps on the micro-SD card, only pictures, music, etc.

I've had an iPad since it came out. To me, it's starting to become old tech. The browsers which I have used on it are slow and the newer iPad2 isn't much better from what I've read.For someone who hasn't owned one, I'd say go for it. You have to experience the iPad in order to rate it truthfully. You will know if it is right for you after a week.I want to move on to the newer tech on the horizon. Android 3.0 is for the tablet, so I want to see how well it can work in that form factor. However, I won't be selling my iPad until I am sure the Xoom can take its place. With some OS updates, and more apps written for it, it may just give the iPad a run for its money. I've had an iPad since it came out. To me, it's starting to become old tech.

The tablet is great. I love it. What you should be asking yourself is what software you'll be using because that ultimately will decipher whether or not it's difficult to draw anime. Last note, this tablet will do what you need it to do.

I have 2. 1 is damaged but both work. Obviously the non-broken one works better. These tablets are perfect for what I wanted. I wanted an iPad size tablet at an affordable price to use for reading magazines, comic books and going online. I don't use it for movies, music or video games other than simple app games.

Depends. I use my ipad everyday. Movies, shows, books, web browsing, control dvr, etc. but i have friends that buy these and use them for a few weeks then they become paper weights. So it really depends on what you want to do with it. Before buying an expensive tablet i actually bought a cheap nexus to see if i would really use it, and come to find out i did, so i gifted the old one and upgraded. I am in the same boat as Richard, i love my ipad, as he's right about the electronics are never good investments, but iOS devices do retain their value better than others at least thats what I've read.

You will love the IPAD MINI. It has great graphics and many many apps. It is a bit more money than the Kindle but you will be able to do soooooo much more with the IPAD MINI. We love the new IPAD.

I suggest you look at some of the video reviews on YouTube. I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition which replaced my iPad 2. After 2 years I found the iPad to be very boring. If you have specific applications or games in mind I suggest you check if they are available in the iTunes and the Google Play Stores. In general, both stores have pretty much the same, or similar, applications. The Note Pro and my Note 10.1 (2014) have nearly identical specifications and performance. Both the Tab Pro and iPad Air are very fast with high resolution screens, although the Tab Pro has significantly higher resolution. If I were in the market today, I would purchase the Samsung Galaxy Pro 10.1, especially if productivity is important to you.

The build quality of Samsung is not as good as Apple's. I have both an iPad and Galaxy tablet. My galaxy died within two months of light use. For your purposes, an iPad would be better. Samsung has more horsepower and better resolution; however, you don't need all that power for your basic needs. iPad is easier to use. You won't be able to distinguish the amount of resolution between the two.

I went to 1mobile.com and download their apk...I now have Kindle, Netflix, HBO Go and Flixster on this tablet...all play well. Also, I watch Youtube often. I love my tablet.

Here is a link for some comparisons of different models. I've had a note 8 for some time now and use it for everything, lots of writing, drawing, scheduling, note taking on the go, plus it syncs with my note 2 phone. I love the size and everything about it. Hope this helps.http://www.cnet.com/news/samsung-galaxy-tab-vs-note-vs-pro/

If you can afford it why not get the MacBook Pro?!? The Xoom is great but I am not sure that you can compare a full-fledged laptop to a tablet. You should evaluate if you need a lot of storage, a bigger screen, full software suites etc. Then go with the MBP. If you want portability, like being a geek and mess around with the Android OS (and are willing to sacrifice some functionality until all bugs have been fixed in Honeycomb) then buy the Xoom. But in general they are not really comparable devices!

I got a Xoom a while back (and returned it) and I was able to re-download every app that I had already purchased (as long as it was compatible with tablets) so I would assume the same would go for the Galaxy tab. There were some games that have a separate Tablet app which you would have to purchase again. The only ones I had that problem with were backbreaker football and another I can't remember. I think I was able to run the original backbreaker game but it was very pixelated. Most of the apps are compatible and they will work fine on both a phone and a tab, but some, while it will open, will look horrible on the tablet. Others won't open at all. By the way, I have all three angry birds (Ad-Free) and they all worked and looked great on the Xoom

you'd be best with going with a Android based system like Samsung. BN is a good little tablet, just lives in its own petri dish like Apple... I only bought this so my kid could have angry birds and game apps and such. I bought a N2A chip (nook to android) and turned this into a android tablet that bypasses the B&N; software. Hope that helps

I have it, its my first foray into the tablet market. Been on laptops for the last 10 years and pcs before that. For an entry tab its freakin awesome. Especially at the price point, and considering the bugginess of honeycomb I am actually betting on the android community having a better version of froyo just for this tab.

Really don,t know...get a Samsung tab 2 or 3 instead, they're cheap nowadays.
