Really depends if you want and need full Windows complete with Windows update and potential viruses to worry about vs. a simple mobile OS tablet with virtually no maintenance like the iPad. That doesn't mean Windows tablets are bad, and in fact the ATIV can do much more than the iPad. If you need to do all sorts of things, the ATIV 500 is really appealing. If you just do web, email, video and games, the iPad is a good choice.
every device i bought i had to see lisa review it first... is it just me or doesn't she have explaining method or whatever but i swear shese the best at reviewing electronics !! keep it up miss gade
Hey Lisa it would have been great if you compared the Transformer infinity pad tf700 to the ipad and nexus 10. The tf700 is clearly in the same league as all of these if not better than some in different categories. Would love to see them compared on video.
Lisa, could you compare iPad 4 with the Samsung Ativ 500t? I'm on the fence for the Ativ, because in portrait mode the 11.6-inch size is almost as wide as the iPad's 4x3 screen.
Thank you for the response! Another perspective: The Ativ already does everything I want in a tablet (even has an S-pen), but the iPad is prettier and so much fun. So...could the Ativ ever be as fun as an iPad?
Hi there Lisa, I have a problem. I wanted to replace my laptop with something as functional, versetile, lighter, faster, as big and more fun= touch screen+keyboard (attached or not)+light weight. So my options were: tables or mac-air, but since I want a touch screen I somehow prefere tables. I did my small research and I came to like: Samsung Ativ Pro, Google Nexus 10, iPad 4, and Surface. Please help me (other viewers) which to choose with your professional opinion. Many thanks in advance.
In which way did the Nexus 10 "surpass" the iPad? Screen resolution? Because as Lisa said, you can not tell the difference in normal use. CPU power? As she also said, iPad doesn't need that power, as it is much better optimized for the software. The iPad however has a lot more power in its GPU and gaming performance is generally better on the iPad.
I heard you have to convert your movies to mp4 on the Ipad, doesnt that drop the quality, of , lets say, high definition? Is it still good hd ? Answers are highly apreciated.
Ok, thanks, I will probably get this guy soon, now I'm saving money for Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3, does anyone know when is this guy coming to Europe? Thanks in advance..
And I really don't understand what's the big deal on the total app number in the store. I think that the more important numbers are for the most wanted apps (Instagram, Skype, etc.) apps, and not having a bazillion apps that most don't want or need.
I believe there may actually be more games on the Google Play Store than the App store. I know the Play Store offers more free games. However; IOS seems to have a higher quality of games. Android has made a very notable effort in transitioning IOS games over to Android. With that being said, I am a die hard Android fan. Another great review Lisa! Kudos as always.
I like the nexus 10 the problem is the resolution on the screen is so many pixels to push and so battery hungry so I recommend to wait to see the octocore
The SoC in the iPad 4 is an A6X. The same dual core cortex A9 which is the A6 with the newer PowerVR SGX554MP4, a quad core GPU. This is powerful but is nowhere near the Mali T604 found in the cortex A15 chipset of the Nexus 10. Now, benchmarks dont deliver proper results as they are cross platform. Android is an active advanced model of an OS that runs processes in parallel while iOS is nothing but an app drawer that can be frozen. This is why the A6X "performs" if it makes you happy
Just wanted to add that you can play full PC games on the android tablets with onlive and you cannot on the iPad. So if your interested in that get the nexus 10..
Honestly I would say the Note 10.1...its all around more worth it. Comes with S-Pen...meaning its good for drawing, note taking...and anything else like that. Plus it has the multitasking feature where you can use 2 different apps at once...plus pop out video...so you can watch a video while having the 2 different apps open... All at the same time! Its features like these that make it well with the price tag!
The thing about iOS that ppl dont get is its made to be simple and easier by pressing less buttons I get to different tasks. Unlike android where you have more things to do. My grandmother uses an iPhone and she actually gets it...that's what ppl need to realize.
ive tried all of these but i always purchase apple they are the best hands down..the nexus and kindle in my opinion do not compare to the ipad 4..great video..
Yeah I'm disappointed with the Yoga 11's specs though, anything with tegra 3 at this point is a no go. The X1 carbon touch is beautiful and functional but having touch without a digitizer is a moot point for me personally, I don't mind using a touchpad haha, I'd already have gotten the X1 Carbon if not for its prohibitively high price :/ and it's TN panel... Come on ODMs... Get it RIGHT this coming year...
"Apple does not need to jack up the clock speeds as high as Android tablets because the operating system is so highly optimized for the hardware." This is a rumor that's been spread for awhile. Android has traditionally had horrible GPUs, and very little GPU acceleration in the UI. iOS needs clock cycles just as much as Android does, they just have very powerful GPUs. The Nexus 10 finally brings a very powerful GPU to Android.
Well of course the Ipad will be the fastest..... It focuses on 1 thing at a time.... has nothing running in the background and cant actually multitask.... The fact that the Nexus is almost is fast, yet can have countless apps running in background is an amazing feet of tech!
Nexus 7 32 gigabyte model is awesome. Side load Adobe Flash Player, install FireFox browser, and enjoy the full web. $249 dollars is a steal. I love my Nexus 7. Not too big, Not too small.
I have the kindle 8.9. It's really good at its intended purpose. But web browsing and running graphic intensive games is just awful. The silk browser is its biggest weakness
I own the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and I have to say I dislike this unit because it has no user functionality or control, PLUS it's a hassle to customize the tablet the way you want it and to make it seem like your own. I've had this tablet for a while now and I don't even feel like I own it. You can't organize your own books which is crazy seeing this is a Kindle Fire HD that's known for reading. I bought the Ipad Retina 32gb yesterday and it made me wanna throw my Fire in the trash. No comparison
We have a comparison section between the Nexus 10 and Note 10.1 in our Nexus 10 full review on the MobileTechReview website.
Why no Asus Tf700? I was look'n forward to that

I'd love to see a ThinkPad X240t myself! I'd say the Yoga 11 is a sure thing, along with the Carbon X1 with touchscreen.
every device i bought i had to see lisa review it first...
is it just me or doesn't she have explaining method or whatever but i swear shese the best at reviewing electronics !!
keep it up miss gade
Those are the 12 South Compass Stand and Stump Stand.
@7:16 you can get quadrant on the kindle!?
hello thanks for your vids. Do you think you will ever get your hands on the HP envy X2 convertible tablet?
Hey Lisa it would have been great if you compared the Transformer infinity pad tf700 to the ipad and nexus 10. The tf700 is clearly in the same league as all of these if not better than some in different categories. Would love to see them compared on video.
Any chance there will be a yoga 11 review sometime?

The Ipad 4th gen graphics blasts the competition!! Mines arriving today!!! :)
I love the expression of the plug sockets on the wall :o
interm of speakers which one does it better!? Kindle fire or Nexus 10?
wow i was waitin for this comparison
Where do you get your backgrounds Lisa?
Hey Lisa are those all yours?
Can you review the vizio co star google tv box?
Gud
Bt why not review lenovo y500 asap?
how did u get youtube on the kindle fire hd cuz i just got one
Can you suggest a laptop good playing hq games? Like black ops 2??? Reply pls.
Ok, thanks, I will probably get this guy soon, now I'm saving money for Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3, does anyone know when is this guy coming to Europe? Thanks in advance..
Should I get iPad 3 or Samsung galaxy note 10.1?
Wish the info had been presented in chart form
Lisa you rock. This video is perfect!!!!!!!
This really helped alot, I've read many reviews and kinda had an idea on ehat I wanted and thus review helped me decide...thank you
@FluidDeconstructor go down? In what...who exactly is beating the iPad?
How much technology do you own?????
And I really don't understand what's the big deal on the total app number in the store. I think that the more important numbers are for the most wanted apps (Instagram, Skype, etc.) apps, and not having a bazillion apps that most don't want or need.

Another great review Lisa! Kudos as always.
I didn't see the LED flash on the back of the iPad. I don't think it has one.
I like the nexus 10 the problem is the resolution on the screen is so many pixels to push and so battery hungry so I recommend to wait to see the octocore
i would really love to buy Nexus 10, but the bezels are way too thick, makes it bigger than it needed to be.
Am I the only one who'd love to hang out at Best Buy with Lisa? Hehe
The SoC in the iPad 4 is an A6X. The same dual core cortex A9 which is the A6 with the newer PowerVR SGX554MP4, a quad core GPU.

awesome review BTW :)
Just wanted to add that you can play full PC games on the android tablets with onlive and you cannot on the iPad. So if your interested in that get the nexus 10..
Isn't the N10 a 16:10 display?
tbh you wouldn't really notice on a small screen if the quality drops slightly. thats if it does at anyway
most important for me is the Multi User function of the Nexeus
Video would be too long. But it would have been an excellent addition.
Honestly I would say the Note 10.1...its all around more worth it. Comes with S-Pen...meaning its good for drawing, note taking...and anything else like that. Plus it has the multitasking feature where you can use 2 different apps at once...plus pop out video...so you can watch a video while having the 2 different apps open... All at the same time! Its features like these that make it well with the price tag!
You really should mention the Kobo Arc.
The thing about iOS that ppl dont get is its made to be simple and easier by pressing less buttons I get to different tasks. Unlike android where you have more things to do. My grandmother uses an iPhone and she actually gets it...that's what ppl need to realize.
what is your top 5 tablets you have ever used in order? lisa
ive tried all of these but i always purchase apple they are the best hands down..the nexus and kindle in my opinion do not compare to the ipad 4..great video..
Yeah I'm disappointed with the Yoga 11's specs though, anything with tegra 3 at this point is a no go.

Come on ODMs... Get it RIGHT this coming year...
the A15 chip in the N10 Beats any GPU to date, until the Tegra 4 comes.
But I'm not hating :)
Im loving my nexus 10 and my nexus 7 and maybe soon the nexus 4
is it just me or doesn't she have**** THE BEST**** explaining method
their sides are not flushed so it might tip over hence it was probably placed like that
"Apple does not need to jack up the clock speeds as high as Android tablets because the operating system is so highly optimized for the hardware." This is a rumor that's been spread for awhile.

could someone help me how can i block this adverts? >.<
The iPad Mini has stereo speakers, but not the iPad 4.
Well of course the Ipad will be the fastest..... It focuses on 1 thing at a time.... has nothing running in the background and cant actually multitask.... The fact that the Nexus is almost is fast, yet can have countless apps running in background is an amazing feet of tech!

You should have rotated Nexus 10 like others.
Apple builds things now?
Also, speed is a moot point when a browser isn't fully rendering.
When you're at CES I hope Lenovo will reveal some new thinkpads... I would die for a x240t haha :P Keep your eyes peeled for me lisa :D
I second hidefanlovely. I think a Windows 8 tablet is a must for any comparison.
"ipads very easy and responsive" Ipad lagged when you said that!!
It didn't lag. She moved her finger downwards which isn't the proper direction.
it seems like everyone has forgotten about b&n
Why never compare Galaxy Note 10.1?
I own the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and I have to say I dislike this unit because it has no user functionality or control, PLUS it's a hassle to customize the tablet the way you want it and to make it seem like your own.

Can't go wrong with any of these devices!
Whoops! USB otg is a PITA
I thought the Toshiba Excite 7" had an awesome display! I almost bought one.
Note 10.1 is great but this is more of a high res display comparison. I have a Note 10.1... but it doesn't fit in this line up lol
we're gonna look at them now.. :)
The iPad 4 has stereo speakers.
It's thinner and lighter than the iPad 4...plus they don't want apple to sue them
Love my nexus 10 n acer a700, cant put it down.
the ipad's big battery is the main reason it weighs so much
Thxs i think i know which tablet i want now :-)
Looks like Leslie off the Big Bang Theory
Not a negative thing but doesn't she look like Lesley winkle from the "Big Bang Theory"
I hate see nexus reviews without widgets in screen
I Like you're batman logo it's so cool.
I'm loving my iPad 2
Thanks =)
just bought ipad 4 lol will buy nexus 10 next year
iPad 4 vs Nexus 10 vs Surface RT
7"tablets = 13"old fashioned tv....hahahaha....
Summary of video - they're all good.
There, saved you 27mins :)
Can I Be your Date to CES?
she seems to be against the kindle fire
had?
TF700 is the king of tablets. Andoid or apple
I've never seen a nexus 10 in person.... Nobody has it here!
10:51 "Its not the end of the world.." Yeah it kinda is:P LOL jk
Awesome
viewing photos...
I have a nexus 7
Thumbs up for Nexus 10?
