[Nexus 10 General] 404 ERROR:
Not saying exactly emulate perfectly. There's a big difference. What I'm saying is I think it CAN happen. You're thinking way too hard about this. I was simply thinking of a palm rejection area that you can activate or understanding touch input when you write on a capacitive screen. Yes, it's more cumbersome; no, it's not perfect, but something like it can be done. Is it worth it? No idea. Is the Wacom technology better? By far.

It was a joke. :P

What I said to Olaeli applies the same here. It won't be exactly the same. You can't possibly emulate technology that was made for this kind of thing and expect it to be as good. I said it "could" happen. Maybe I shouldn't have said that from the first place because it's causing a lot of confusion, but the thing is I think it's possible in the way that a lot of things that seem impossible are possible and in the way that not only technology but just knowledge in general grows.

I'm not biased against the Note 10.1 if this is what people are getting from my posts. In fact, I was going to buy it back when it first came out because I wanted some note taking device (BarryH_GEG responded to one of my threads back then). It looks like a great productivity tablet and it will by all means do productivity better than the N10 will ever want to do. But if you want to hear why I didn't buy the Note 10.1, I believed that something better productivity-wise would come out. Was the N10 this "better device?" No, it wasn't. But I realized that maybe one of those W8 ultrabook convertibles would do me good instead of something running on Android which I believe has its strong points only in the mobile area. Now, you can argue that the price for these is off the charts, the battery for these things last for only so long, and it weighs a ton, These aren't problems for me, mainly because I am willing to pay a hefty amount for something that will last me very, very long. An i5 processor will last me far longer than the Exynos 4412 will last me. Furthermore, I am waiting for Intel to pump out those super low-powered Haswell chips to help battery life. Weight is not a big deal for me. Windows software like Photoshop is incredibly important to me. In the end, I realize the Note 10.1 wasn't for me.

But let's talk about this in the scope of Android tablets within similar price ranges, within reasonable weight, and with a ridiculously long-lasting battery. In terms of raw numbers (no screen contrast, build quality, etc.), the Note 10.1 does almost all things better except for the resolution and the SOC. The apparent performance will look about the same. One can argue that the Note 10.1 actually has a better apparent performance for games due to the N10's resolution "crippling" it. I don't think the N10's resolution is crippling it. It does incredibly well handling that resolution even if it does bad with a few games. But the N10 does do SW decoding of videos better than the Note 10.1 which was a high selling point for me. That resolution is sweet too. Now for screen contrast, build quality, etc., those things are so subjective that the only way to really know is to play with them in person. Some people think the rubber feel of the N10 feels cheap, some think it feels great, some think the N10 screen looks terrible, and some think the N10 screen looks pretty damn good.

Ultimately, my personal belief is that the N10 does media consumption better than the Note 10.1 simply because of the better SOC, the high resolution screen, and the fact that it's a Nexus device.

Anyway, feel free to dissect this post into quotes and disagree or state your opinions. The discussion going on here is great and surely will give some people the edge to buy the Note 10.1 or the N10.
