[Nexus 10 General] Geodude074:
What is this I don't even??? Most of your points don't even make sense. And your statement of how I was trying to "take away power" from Nexus 10 owners is just hilarious. I was doing nothing of the sort, get over yourself lol. Anyways.

1. Superior speaker design. If Samsung doesn't do the tab, then the stereo front bezel speakers are out of the running. Expect side mounted stereo speakers like the 2013 N7. Not bad, but clearly less than superior compared to the Samsung speakers.

I have had the first N7, the second N7, the N10, an Asus laptop, and I've had two Samsung phones in the past. The placement of the N10's speakers was a good choice, but overall, Asus makes better speakers than Samsung. Nobody knows where the new N10's speakers are going to be placed, so don't try to predict that they'll be placed on the back sides. You know what happens when people assume things...

2. Display. Go back and check the N7 thread from it's first launch and for several months. What do we have as an issue? Screen lift and some touch sensitivity failures. I had to swap my N7 a few times because of this issue. This improved with each build and it looks like they've done a great job with the 2013 N7. But that's an N7, meaning that a 10" or larger display is a new task for ASUS. Will the quality be real good and still provide the same resolution as the Samsung N10? Sorry that I'm skeptical, but Samsung has been in the display game longer and unless they provide the display for ASUS, there may be some early adopter pain for those that purchase the first of the 2013 edition N10s.

This is one primary reason I will not purchase until at least 4 months. I can then come back to this forum and hopefully see a lack of complaints about display.

You claim that Asus does not have experience making 10" displays. Are you joking??? Have you never heard of the Asus Transformer? The VivoTab? The MeMo Pad? The Eee Pad? Asus has been in the tablet game as long as Samsung has. Don't discount Asus from being unable to make good displays.

Also, don't forget one of the largest threads in the N10 forum is "Damn it - My Nexus 10 has light bleed!!!"

Also, ants underneath the screen.

3. STORAGE - :p 32GB. To have a 64GB is possible, but the price range is tricky that Google is marketing to. Also with the memory factory fire, all memory is going to be about 3X as prior to the fire. So I strongly suspect it's going to be 32GB like current and NOT have any form of a microSD slot. Google gave strong reasons, even if not the real cause, to not have a microSD on their prior Nexus line. Why change?

I don't even get what you're trying to say here. The new N10 won't have a microSD card slot, so you won't consider buying it? Well if that's the case, then why did you even buy the original N10 in the first place?

4. Processor performance. A Tegra 4 in a Nexus device? Not likely, it's more likely to be a Qualcomm S4 Pro or equivalent to keep cost down. Sure it's quad core compared to the Exynos from the N10, but it won't be significantly faster.

It is very likely that the new N10 is going to have either the Tegra 4 or the Snapdragon 800. And yeah, either one of those are going to be A LOT FASTER than the Exynos dual. Just don't even try to argue that it won't. Please, no.

I chuckled a bit when you said the new N10 will most likely have an S4 Pro. It's already been confirmed that the Nexus 5 is going to house a Snapdragon 800. Why the heck would Google approve an S4 Pro in their flagship 10" tablet when their PHONE is going to have an SD 800?

5. WiFi. Ironically, I see this as a potential downgrade. Most of the budget chipsets that are used in tabs will only do single band 802.11 a/b/g/n. Samsung had full dual band MIMO antenna support. When doing internet performance tests between my N10 and my N7, there is a clear and marked difference in performance. If ASUS and Qualcomm selection yields non-MIMO single band only WiFi, that's too bad.

Tegra 4 and SD 800 both have dual-band wifi.
