Comparison to Asus EP-121 Tablet? Has anyone had a chance to compare the Samsung 7 slate to the Asus EP-121 tablet. Is the quality and the performance about the same?

I think the battery life is superior on this Samsung. Heard the ASUS tablet battery was dismal. Hardware options look superior on the Samsung too.

Asus EP121 is a great Windows tablet with a bigger screen but a lower resolution than the Samsung Slate. To use the full features of Windows 8 Metro including Snap, you need a resolution of at least 1366x768 which the Samsung Slate has.

Hello I am a Nurse also and I have a pretty decent 7 inch tablet in the Archos 7o Internet Tablet. It has Android 2.2 os, so it can handle most of the apps for android that are out there. I have a few apps that I use constantly, like Epocrates, and some Skyscape apps. This tablet does not come with the Android Market (which you can get thru the forums), it does come with a market called Appslib. Compared to the Android Market it is a little thin. Also I suggest not being afraid to dig thru the forums so you can tweek your tablet. But even if you don't buy this one do plenty of research, because if you are looking for an iPadlike experience you will need to spend around $300.00 to get a tablet with Honeycomb on it. I hope that this is helpful.

The screen and graphics quality are excellent - equal to or better than Samsung smartphones. I cannot make a comparison to other similar products because I have not seen/used other brands. The current version of the Android operating system is 3.1

I love my Note 8. I had the Tab 2/7 and hardly used it. I use the Note 8 a lot. The resolution is very good. I also have a Galaxy S3 phone and they integrate well. I can't speak to the Tab 3/8. The S Pen is really cool but I haven't figured out how to make the most of it yet.

Do you have a link to it, I have just been on the website and can only find the galaxy tab on there, no slate!

Here is a link to MaximumPC.com. I am an avid techie and researcher of said devices. In this article they compare (in video) the Samsumg Galaxy S and the Viewsonic Viewpad side by side. Cheers http://www.maximumpc.com/article/reviews/7-inch_showdown_galaxy_tab_vs_viewpad_7

I have found Stealth to be so legalistically deceptive that I wouldn't buy another one if it were the official tablet of the Second Coming, personally endorsed by JC and The Boys. In addition, don't buy any brand with less than 16GB internal and able to accept a 32GB SD card. That is especially true if your kids will also use your tablet. (Movies eat up a ton of space.)

The keyboard is what sold the Samsung for me. I didn't like the feel of the Asus but the Samsung keyboard feels like a normal keyboard to me. Both companies make quality products though I don't think you can go wrong with either. Other then the keyboard I don't really see any difference between the two except for maybe the screen qualities which I can't really comment on. I think the new 10.1" Aspire One is worth looking at too if you're considering price.

I love Samsung products and I have the Tab 10.1 but the Note 10.1 is slightly better. It was a matter of affordability at the time of purchase for me. Both are outstanding as I am writing this review/response on my Tab.

I got the Samsung Series 7 slate on its first day official launch from the Microsoft store. It's awesome, way better than predicted. Also have experience with the Motion 900 slate (very tough, great battery life), and the ASUS EEE slate (good performance, poor battery life) and this Samsung slate has the best qualities of both, is faster, brighter, more memory, better stylus response, etc. My price was $850 without keyboard or dock (launch special), they said there would later be a $99 deal for the actual Samsung keyboard and the dock, but haven't seen that one yet. I got a $30 RockSoul bluetooth keyboard at Fryes, and it works great. My only disappointment with the slate is that it was originally advertised as having a slot for 3G SIMcard, haven't figured that out yet, I dont think it actually has onroad wireless capabilties, just Wi-Fi. And it's tough to find the leather accessories to carry/stand because it's an odd size compared to IPAD.

I have a Dell Duo. Lag isn't that bad depending on what you are used to and what you do. Scrolling is smooth 90 percent of the time in excel and IE. Yes, it is a atom, but it is a dual core atom. But yeah, the best choice is the EP121. The EP121 has these advantages over the Dell Duo. 1.)SDXC/MMC card slot 2.)lighter by 1 pound 3.)Wacom pen input 4.)CPU benchmarks about twice as fast 5.)potentially double the ram 6.)faster graphics performance 7.)HDMI for video out 8.)SSD is much quicker. I tested the EP121 at windows boot to desktop and it was 20 seconds. 9.)Reliability: the SSD will not fail because of vibration or g-forces. Hard Drive Failure is likely the #1 reason why mobile computers that have them fail. 10.)bigger screen 11.)comes with a folio case for propping it up in 3 different angles/orientations 12.)MVA screen on EP121 has much better viewing angles than the Duo screen. The Dell Duo has bad vertical viewing angles and ok horizontal viewing angles in my experiance. The problem is that in portrait(in tablet mode), your vertical viewing angles are your horizontal viewing angles and so it is hard to share with someone else in portrait 13.)thinner: .66 inch vs 1 inch 14.)larger screen:12.1 inch vs 10.1 inch 15.)physical buttons accessible in tablet mode like Ctrl-Alt-Delete/window switcher, volume rocker, virtual keyboard activator, etc 16.)strengthened glass called Gorilla Glass cons 1.)maybe about 20% less battery life(Asus quotes 3 hours and Dell quotes 4 hours). In my experience though. The Dell Duo gets around 3 hours but I might be abusing the slow processor a bit with what I do with it. them fail. 2.)No physical attached keyboard in convertible form factor 3.)Hard Drive is 64GB/32GB vs. 360GB on Dell Duo 4.)Price

The N110 I guess is the new generation overlapping the NC10 SE...I cant believe Samsung did this so soon, it hasnt been a month since they NCSE 10 has started shipping to people. That graphic card memory difference could have been nice for the same price. I still have no idea if the matte screen is better or the glossy screen that is claimed to be on the N110

I wouldnt buy another coby product. Spend a little more and get an hp slate or a samsung galaxy 2 tab. Coby has an awful warranty service dept. Sent my defective product back over 12 weeks ago and they confirmed it was bad, but still cannot tell me when my new one will be sent.

We have really not been happy with our ASUS. I find it slow and difficult to use. My older son has one that he really likes.

I highly do not recommend ASUS. TF700 is missing fine touch beside they're advertising it as top model. It work, it's fast. Besides this I had a lot of problems with ASUS repair center. TF700 broke after month and half (which I can accept, it can happen) but I sent it three times for repair and every time it came back "repaired" with report "card changed, all tests passed" and than it broke after few days again with same problem. It doesn't charge. They can't accept the fact that I they are repairing same tablet with same problem three times. I wasted USD488. I'm sure Samsung is much better as tablet and customer care.

I would get TF701T, think it's much faster. TF701T seems to have similar specs to Toshiba Excite Write (same Tegra 4 processor, 2GB RAM) as opposed to TF700T which has Tegra 3 and 1GB RAM. I have both Toshiba Excite write and Asus TF700T and Toshiba Excite Write is much faster. You can notice it when opening apps, browsing, playing music while playing games (I usually use TuneIn or Google Play Music) and on TF700T music sometime stutters while on Excite Write it plays fine. Assuming ASUS TF701T would performs similarly to Toshiba Excite Write. TF700T is still a pretty good tablet now but it's 1-2 years old technology which is a lifetime in tablet years :) Of course depends on usage, if you want to read text and watch videos it's great. New games, browsing the net might show age of the tablet...

Yes. Basically, think of it as a super super slow android tablet with a lot of lag and constant freezing. My advice, drop an extra $50 - $60, and get a refurbished Galaxy Note/Tab 7inch or a Nexus 7 inch tab, both of which will serve you much much better.
