Like the Note 3, the Note Pro uses the new USB 3.0 connector, collecting juice through a high-output charging plug. (Unfortunately, the cover lacks a rear camera cutout, so when thumbing the camera button, you’ll have to awkwardly hold up the cover.) Volume and power switches sit on the top, while an all-important microSD card slot sits on the side. Near the top sits the 2-megapixel front-facing camera, with an 8-megapixel camera at the back. The tablet is designed to be held in landscape mode, with the physical home button mounted between the back and applications buttons. Physically, the Note Pro looks like a Note 3, flipped on its edge. That completely eliminates its use as a “lap top” computer. In fact, to use it as a laptop replacement, you’ll need to buy a Bluetooth keyboard and possibly a mouse. The Note Pro also lacks an integrated keyboard, such as the Surface’s Type and Touch Covers. But while the Note Pro’s cover actually doubles as a stand, it’s not immediately obvious that it does so. Both the Note Pro and the Surface Pro 2 ship with foldable keyboard covers the Note Pro’s can be configured so that it wakes up and unlocks the tablet when flipped back. It’s not much of a stretch to consider the Note Pro as Samsung’s response to Microsoft’s Surface 2 Pro, which starts at $899 for 64GB of onboard storage. For the sake of comparison, the iPad 3 managed 516 in PeaceKeeper, and the Dell XPS 10 hit 324 (higher scores are better). Our performance tests produced a Sunspider score of 0.97 seconds (which hits the upper echelons of the tablet market), and a PeaceKeeper score of 815.

According to Samsung, the Wi-Fi version of the Note Pro houses a 1.9GHz quad-core ARM Cortex A15 chip, powering Android 4.4 (KitKat). So far, Samsung has yet to announce the price for a model with an integrated LTE WLAN chip. The Note Pro is available for either $750 for a 32GB model, or $850 for 64GB of onboard storage. The Galaxy Note Pro lacks an integrated keyboard, and the cover, which does double duty as a stand, is a little flimsy. And with a surprisingly complete selection of productivity apps in both Google Play and Samsung’s own app store, this massive Android tablet can help you get real work done. Indeed, if last year’s Galaxy Note 3 smartphone doubles as a reporter’s notebook, then the new Galaxy Note Pro is something akin to an electronic legal pad. This is not a competitor to smaller tablets like the Nexus 7.
