[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] MrWilsonxD:
Google keep is an absolutely joke. I really hate to bash anything google does because it's almost always free and offers great integration with the rest of the ecosystem regardless of the platform you are on, but google keep is pathetic for it to be the app they advertised for you to be taking notes with. You can o nly write on one page? And it's not pressure sensitive. It's speed sensitive. It's just a fail.

I use squid to take my notes. I was really hesistant to switch from s note to squid, I had used s note for years, since my note 2 and have always loved the stability and features it offers.

Some of the things squid has over s note and google keep

Way more levels of true pressure sensitivity. The tiny strokes and dots I can make in squid I have not seen in any other application. Be it s note, keep, inkcredible, onenote, etc.

It is saving eerything you write as a vector from what I understand. So when I zoom in my notes or look at them on another screen from a backup that was automagically generated, everything looks as precise as when I wrote it. No matter how much I zoom in/out.

Infinite pages. My God. I am a math major in my senior year of school and some of the proofs/problems we have to do are LONG. Being able to just keep scrolling down on squid, or write something huge off to the side, circle it and then shrink it above a line I just wrote is awesome. I could do this with s note, but the text would become blurry, and in s note the lowest stroke size prevented me from putting it in small places.

There are tons of templates, probably more than s note, but you need to have a pro subscription for some of the more advanced ones like polar coordinates, basketball court diagrams, ib graphing paper, logarithmic paper, etc.. (1$ per month or 6$ per year I think)

You can map what you want to do what. (I know I described that well lol)

-If you want your finger to be a stroke eraser, you got it, if you want the *pen* side of your s pen to be an eraser, you got it. If you want the *eraser* side of your s pen to be a pen, you got it. It has way more control in terms of mapping inputs than s note does.

Squid is just faster than s note, on the same device squid exports and opens documents WAY faster. It's not comparison.

Downsides, no audio insertions (I like to use this in non-math lectures. Like political science, math history, church services), no evernote (not a fan of this service as it compresses the crap out of your documents in the backups makes it illegible on other devices :(, I don't see any text conversion options, there's probably a few more things, but squid is so good I've forgotten about them.

I used s note untill i got my cbp, to save all my notes from the past 3 years, I just exported everything as a pdf, then opened them in squid so i lost no data. :)

Hope that answers your question lol.. This is not a paid promotion for squid or the cbp. I highly dislike Samsung mobile, but I have wanted Samsung hardware and google software for a LONG.. LONG time and I got it with the cbp.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] MrWilsonxD:
I use adobe, all the google suite apps, google docs, google sheets, google docs, xda labs, amazon underground, solid explorer, remote desktop, drastic nintendo ds emulator, twilight, kokotime, and of course, my note taking app is squid.

One thing I want to note, is become it's a chromebook, I actually need less apps. Quite a few apps have chrome extensions. So it just runs as a web-app. If this is what google means by trying to push development for more web-app based I think I like it. Using web-apps there's nothing AFAIK requring it's own services and proccesses constantly running in the background draining your battery.

Most of the apps I use on my phone work here. Some work better (Like solid explorer.) There are a couple that don't work properly/at all like Mobizen screen recording. THAT was a big bummer for me as I used it fairly frequently. I found an alternative, but it's not as good.

I will have to try lecture notes! I have not tried it before, I'll give you feedback when I get home to wi-fi.

I feel you on GMD gesture control. I use Gestures anywhere with xposed heavily on my note pro, and consequently hardly ever usd my hardware buttons on it. . I use gesture control for my op3.. I think there is a way to root a chromebook, I haven't looked into it. But maybe there's a non-rooot substitute using accessibility or something like that?

The trackpad helps a lot if you're using it in laptop mode. There's so many gestures I can not remember what they all are. Unfortunate thing is they are not mappable AFAIK..

Hope that answers your questions. I'm about 2 weeks into owning this thing and I am really loving it.

Edit: Funny bit I thought of while driving home. When my co-worker texts me an urgent question about a project that is due in a couple days? Meh, swipe right, I'll respond later. Girlfriend texts me about how wonderful she thinks I am and how my day is going? Okay, I'll respond once I get home from shopping.

Somebody from XDA asks me a question/responds to my post? Okay. I'm in the middle of grocery shopping, I am going out to my car, turning on hotspot, pulling out my chromebook, and taking the half hour required to respond in excessive detail.

Edit:@muzzy996, lecture notes works. ??
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] mjkurke:
Thanks for the detailed reply. It's nice to hear from people who use thier devices for something other than youtube and web surfing. I tried squid once, but I think the two big things for me were the no transform to text function and I don't think it was searchable the way S-Note is. I work on medical diagnostic equipment for a living and I like being able to take notes while trouble shooting, and then when I have the same issue months later I can search for the last time and reference it. The transform to text function is nice for sending follow up to others on the team. So that's a firm no to S-Notes then? It makes sense since a lot of the functionality is tied to the button on the pen and the CBP doesn't have one.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] MrWilsonxD:
Likewise! Mobile technology is more than social media and pictures.

Yeah. I even manually installed s note apk and no dice.

There's no search function in squid AFAIK. I've Microsoft one note. (Just as bad as Google keep) inkcredible, no search function there either. Bamboo paper, no search there either. I tried a few other apps as well. Lecture notes included. None have search.

I remember telling somebody a year or so ago that "I dislike Samsung and their bloated unoptimized devices. I dislike Samsung even more because they kill all the competition with s note. I haven't come across any app on any device that can do everything s note does as consistently as it does."

For better or for worse, that's still true to this day. S note still has a definite edge over the competition. And we are using a 2 year old version of it on our note tablets.

Tbh I didn't even know s note had a search text function.

???

Maybe it might be better for you to look at the tab s3. It's going to include a nice s pen with it.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] mjkurke:

I am going to look at the S3, but man that price will be tough. I paid $750 for my note pro with LTE 2.5 years ago. The 9.7 S3 with LTE will probably be 950 out the door. The hardware is maybe a little better, but it's hard not to feel like your getting less when looking at the screen sizes. Especially when the chromebook pro will be 200 dollars cheaper with a faster core m processor.

Yeah.. That's why I'm willing to shift to the chromebook.. Our tab retailed 700+ on release.. Wifi model didn't see an update after a year.. Chromebook Plus 450.. Plus updates for 6.5 years..

Updates aren't always necessary, Lollipop on my note was stellar in battery life, my pastor has one and he says the same thing..But the jank + outdated security patches suck.

However, I think the s3 will last a couple years. Maybe not support wise, but I think it's going to have sd 820/exynos 8 so it shouldn't have any major slow downs if Samsung doesn't de optimize it too much with touchwiz. Plus you'll have search functions in s note. The primary side button on s pen and better integration with android apps.

Decisions decisions.. ?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] jake21:
Do all android apps run on chromebook plus? I'm sick of tired of the note pro 12.2 being slow as a dog (esp the built in ssd). My phone feels 10x faster (note 4) but i would really prefer a 12 inch andriod tablet and no one is making those (I can live without the pen but 10 inch is too small).

-

Also the pro version is 2x faster; will the intel processor hurt android compatibiilty. I'm nostly thinking mxplayer and games like ff.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] mjkurke:
I have only had the Chromebook plus for about a week, and so far every app I have tried has worked. However if you are disappointed in your Note Pro's speed, then I don't think you'll be pleased with the performance for android apps on the chromebook plus. My Note Pro significantly outperforms my Chromebook plus in games, video buffering, and android app load times. I am hoping this improves in the next month or two as Android apps on chromebooks moves out of Beta.

I should point out that these slowdowns only affect android apps and it's performance in chrome OS is fine. I'm curious which model of the Note Pro you have? I have both the wifi version(exynos 5) and the 905 LTE version(snapdragon 800) and I can tell you that despite what the benchmarks say, the LTE version with the snapdragon is much faster in real world performance. For instance in Counter OPs I can get frame rates of about 40 FPS with some of the settings turned down on my P900, but I get a constant 55-60 FPS with all settings at max on my P905.

So I guess to sum up my experience with the chromebook plus, I will say that I paid 369 for it, and at that price if I was buying it for the android experience I way overpaid. Luckily it's a great Chrome OS device and there's still hope that the android app experience improves.

I wouldn't buy the Chromebook Pro until I could see first hand how it handles android apps. I have had three android devices with intel chips and they have all suffered pretty significant app compatibility issues.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] jake21:
I have the wifi model which I presume is exynos; they used snapdragon for those models that required LTE. Playing games and watching video is fine but web-browsing is pretty bad. At one point i looked into the issue with modest detail and am pretty sure a good chunk of the perf issue was related to the built in ssd. Somoene on xda posted some detail tests that matched the issue i was seeing. Technology has improved quite a bit the past 3 years - both processor and ssd. The battery life and display are fine.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] mjkurke:
Someone might know more than me, but I don't think the performance issue you are seeing is related to the storage. Tablets don't have an SSD, they have NAND Flash storage. An SSD is different in that it has built in controllers which allows it to access things much faster. I think the chromebook plus and chromebooks in general have the same type of storage that tablets have. If your seeing browers performance issues that could be so many things, and probably deserves its on thread.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] jake21:
I over simplified my answer. It might be a combination of the ssd and the cpu but it is extermely slow. I run the same software on my note 4 and venue 8800 and both run circles around the note pro. I do realize that the nand flash storage is not exactly the same as an ssd but it is, if you pardon me, the same basic technology.

Just upgraded

First of all, let me say that I love my Note Pro 12.2. It has been my main workhorse for a while now, and it has been fun owning one. That being said, I recently purchased a new Samsung Chromebook Pro, and I have not touched my Note Pro since. I now plan to sell my Note Pro because this Chromebook Pro does everything the NP 12.2 can do, and does them better in most cases, and even more.

Count me as a definite yes to the upgrade question!

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

Glad to know that we are both enjoying our new Chromebooks :) Your thread inspired me to give this device a look, so thank you for pointing me in this direction:) I feel a bit bad about giving up my Note Pro 12.2 when it still works so greatly, but as you noted, this Chromebook Pro is too good to pass up. I did spend the extra money to get the Pro instead of the Plus, for two main reasons: For one, the Pro was on sale for $500 and that seemed like too good of a deal to pass up. Secondly, and most importantly to me, I noticed when I trialed the Plus at the store that OneNote could not be downloaded from the Playstore. However, when I trialed the Pro, OneNote was indeed available for download. This was the deciding factor for me, because OneNote is my note-taking app of choice. I find it superior to Evernote, Keep, and any other note-taking app on the market.

One quick question: Have you found that your Chromebook only functions efficiently on a 5ghz wifi connection, and has lots of freezes and disconnections on 2.4ghz? This has been my experience with the Pro. On a 5ghz connection it works fantastic with no issues. But as soon as I connect it to a 2.4ghz connection, it constantly freezes, disconnects, etc. Was just wondering if you've seen this issue with the Plus as well.

Thank you for inspiring me to purchase one of these fantastic machines, and I look forward to comparing Chromebook notes with you in the future!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] MrWilsonxD:
Congratulations! You've been converted to a chrome os lover!

I know exactly how you feel about your note pro being a work horse, but as far as productivity goes, I agree- the chromebook pro is a noticeable step up. Especially for things that require typing or the precision of a trackpad!

I think I read your comment before you edited about onenote not working on the plus? Either way, I definitely would recommend the pro over the plus, there's noticeable jank and frame drop with the plus, I recommended my pastor get a Chromebook Pro for his daughter for college, and man... that puppy is smooooooth and quick! I am going to be selling my plus pretty soon to upgrade to the pro. Personally, getting more consistent performance for me is worth the price difference. :D

Unfortunately my pastor's note pro's battery is going to crap, so I am going to see if I can convince him to get the pro as well. :D

There's been quite a few people (Around 4 or 5 I think) that i've recommended to purchase the plus or pro, and after they have owned it they talk about how much they love having and using it.

and I have the plus, I have never had a wifi connection drop on 2.4ghz, I don't consciously use 5ghz enough to comment on it's performance on that though.. I'll switch my hotspot to 5ghz and see if I have better wifi performance and report back.

I'll post a link with some of my notes I have taken in class!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] 2390:
Chromebook Plus vs Pro

Okay, for those who are wondering, both of these have their distinct advantages and disadvantages, which I'll try to explain here:

The Chromebook Pro uses a quad core Intel Core M processor, which is much faster in day-to-day operations, and the x86 architecture means that you can sign up for Crossover for Android and run Windows programs, if you're into that sort of thing. The disadvantage is that not all apps are optimized for x86, and may be slower than on the ARM based Plus, even though the Pro has a better CPU.

The Chromebook Plus uses a hexa core Rockchip (Not Exynos) OP1 SoC that, while less powerful than the Core M, performs better in ARM optimized Android apps, and will most likely perform better when running many processes simultaneously since it has more cores. Keep in mind though that if you need to run Windows programs, this one isn't for you, since it cannot run Crossover for Android. The plus also is about $100 cheaper where I am, so that may influence your decision.

For me personally, the ability to run WIndows programs is a big bonus for me and so I'm leaning towards the Pro personally, when I can afford it (broke college student and all :p)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] dugwhitney:
So, does Onenote install from the play store on the Pro version? It's not available to my when using the Plus version for some lame reason.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] mjkurke:
I installed the android version of one note right from the play store on my chromebook plus. However when I went back and searched one note it no longer shows up in the play store. You could try just typing "one note android app" in your chrome browser and see If you can install it from the play store through chrome. That seems like it will still work.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] dugwhitney:
I just tried that and in Chrome, it says the item is incompatible... Back to Best Buy it goes.

Even though my Note Pro isn't the latest and greatest, at least it does what I want/need it to do.

Thanks anyway!

I love my Note 12.2. I hope they come out with a new faster one in the future.
